Jason Berard

Hi Jason, thanks for the greenie, the patch and the beer. I hope you don't mind, I left the patch on my dad's urn at mom's house. It seemed like the thing to do.

thanks for the greenie Jason..I hope you and your enjoy Sugarloaf as much as I have..some of the sites near Zealand road a little open but the majority quite private and quiet with only the sound of the river which i suspect is roaring away this year..Looking forward to my stay there as well

Thanks Jason! We'll meet up one of these days!

Thank you for the green square!

thanks,Jason. Being at the plaque is very emotional. I still can't imagine what you guys went through that day.

Thanks for your feedback Jason! It felt like one of my most motivating work trips yet, but as you know, motivation isn't always necessary! Thanks again!

Thank you for the green spot for the "Lafayette, Memory..." TR, Jason. Much appreciated. I hope we meet soon out on the trail. I always enjoy your posts.

I only knew of the name, and had no connection other than I liked the quote. I do like Mahler. I'll have to learn more other than just the Wiki entry.

I knew Patti Woods. I think she was thier sister. Now the Cloutier..there seemed to be alot of them.

Thanks for the green square, Jason!

You know Kirsten?! she was a year ahead of me at ST.JA. Tell her I said hi. Our sisters were also friends.

Your comments about the winter wrrens' song are fighting words for some....There a few on VFTT who think it is the lovliest sound in the mountains....

No prob Jason, if we have time we'll do some pokin around for ya.

I will let you focus on the bird songs....Bicknells' sounds like some one running a mallet up and down a glockenspiel.

Did you have fun at the reunion? Did the class of '79 behave? (that is my brothers class and it marred the reputation of ST. JA as fine upstanding educational establishment.

We both have loppers.

Hi Jason. The first picture is a Serviceberry or Shadbrush shrub that in this case was about 15 feet high.

I Roped my neighbor into coming. He is an inshape 72 year old. Did the AT about 14 years ago. 7am is his prefered time.

How about tools. I have a two man log carrier, hand saw (I had a post on it) and a very sharp adz. I have never been a fan of axes but I have one.

Thanks for the greenie. I've heard BITH up there on previous surveys. Have yet to see one anywhere.

Hey Jason! How's things lookin for your weekend June 6&7? I know you're on Cube June 6.

Well can't call most of them peaks. I have Mt Martha on the Coos trail, Nancy Pond and Amoonusuck Ravine starting around the falls. Julie Hart gave me some sweet spot.

Good post JB. It's terrible what they are doing to that mountain range. All in the name of getting attention!
