Once again, the Fool Scouts are having their annual dinner at LLHut, Saturday March 29th. For this, our ninth year, MadRiver has put together a 'Fool Scouts at the Opera' theme. We walk up the hill, dress in formal or silly attire, and commence feastivities. $55 includes bunk, Italian...

Very tempting. Jan 15, 2005 - First 4K up Pierce on a crisp beautiful day led by Carole. Met a lot of current friends for the first time that night at the gathering. Set a lot of foolish things in motion. Kudos for suggesting this, coldfeet. It'd be great to see you again.

Ohhh... the hikers were FROM Massachusetts. For a brief moment I was afraid of going for a local walk and winding up north of Millinocket. :p

Flip it over. Washington has been on all the quarters since 1932. ;)

Found a pair of sunglasses on the Bicknell Ridge trail on April 16th, 2012. Please contact me at [email protected] with a description of the item and we can arrange a way to get them back to you.

As far as meeting up for a drink after the signing, I'll wait out front and we'll figure things from there. I should be there with my girls. I should be the only guy there who answers to 'McRat'... though this is Harvard Square... there may be others.

For the NEHH, we drive on logging roads despite the existence of highways... because they happen to be the only way to access them. So it is with the postal communications in the era of email. Frustrating, but occasionally inevitable. I will say finally getting that packet in the mail and...

Congratulations! Looking forward to the book signing. Squeaky and I will be attending. Anyone interested in perhaps meeting up for a drink or two after the signing? I hear there may be a pub or two in Harvard Square...

Let's all sing along...

War on drugs experiment #5,765,342 In the interest of science, we should check back in a couple of years to see how this effects both the availability of 'Polar Pure' and the availability of pure methamphetamine. I have a hypothesis, but it isn't very hiking related. :rolleyes:

Can't get there from here... Road closure/repair map for the great State of Maine. http://www.511.maine.gov/main.jsf

You could be one of the few (or perhaps only?) to finish on Spaulding. It's the Zealand of Maine.

Meh. Most people are weirdos in one way or another - perhaps possibly even myself. So, as long as your form of weirdness is harmless to others, I'll stand in solidarity. They're pretty harmless. We're all imperfect, and they seem to have gotten over it while really taking the whole 'hike...

I have to admit, I like hiking lists and I like beer. Last night, these proclivities culminated into finishing another list – the New Hampshire Views and Brews list. It did not suck. I have to appreciate the creation of such a list. It made me aware of several decent brewpubs that I hadn't...

Q: What kind of geological formation are the Uncanoonucs? A: They're monadnockers.
