Barnes Field Fall gathering Sure feels like fall this AM. 33 degrees up here in Bethlehem! Got to Love it! I guess I'll be riding solo on Saturday? Suppose to be a really nice day: sunny and in the low 70's... Perfect for riding. Mats and Jason spent the night and I got an opportunity to...

Fall Gathering at BF I may be over at Barnes for part of the weekend and was wondering if there are any road riders (UFC calls them street riders) coming to this thing that would be interested in doing a +/- century ride through Grafton Notch, up to Errol and back through Berlin. Saturday...

Bearly Live 08 Juniper- Thanks for the reply.... I was a bit worried that I waited too long to secure a spot: once again, work gets in the way. If there is no room anywhere I guess I can just ride my bike all night, that way i'll be all warmed up for some hiking the next day AND it would be...

Bearly Live 08 Hey Juniper or anyone else with an available camping spot..... It looks like there is a good chance I may be able to come to the paaatttyyy. I know it's a bit late, just wondering if any spots are still available??? I believe i'll have to leave early sunday am, so it would...

Bike Riding at UFC's?? Calling all cyclists!! I missed the good times last year at UFC's but i'm there this year!!! Was wondering if any cyclists are going to the bash and if so, anyone interested in some LSD (that's short for: long, slow, distance) rides? Perhaps skiing one day and a...

Thanks for the Beta Skiguy and Bob K. Drewski-Did the -40 degree bag come in yet or what? Does anyone know if the Northville Placid Trail gets packed out and if so, how would that be for skiing?? It looks like one could ski from RT. 28N to Averyville Rd with some camping options along the...

We're heading over to the Daks next week and were wondering if anyone has any "must see" ski loops, preferably in the High Peaks Region? The plan is to car camp the first night, then spend 2 nights out in a shelter. Ideally, use the shelter as a base camp and do loops from that shelter...

Winter Record ATtempt!!!!

Winter Record Attempt!!! NICE!!!! Best of luck.... I'm planning on doing the pressies on march 3rd as well (provided the weather looks cooperative). However, I'm planning on doing them starting from the south. Any chance you would change your plan and do them starting from Rt. 302 and going...

Great to hear some input on my post. Yes, we did start at Grafton Notch and I did post trail conditions. I came really close to doing an entire traverse in the summer several years ago and figured it could be done in 2.5 days in the winter but I guess I was dreaming. The actual 1 mile notch...

I just got back from a weekend outing in the Mahoosic mountain range in Maine. We were planning on doing the entire range (30.3 miles) friday afternoon through sunday and pulled out at Wright Trail due to slow going and lack of time. We did a whopping 10.7 miles... :eek: I got a few...

A look at backpacking in a different light... Tuco- You are on the $ when you said a lot of backpacking methods / techniques is personal!! You said, going light is not that important; have you ever considered trying it?? Personally, I think it's the only way to travel!! For...

According to my calender, winter officially begins on thursday at 7:22 pm. I'm planning a hike up Mt. Lafayette starting around 7:30 pm or so. We are meeting at the northbound parking lot for the bridal path trailhead. The pace will be quick (I'm thinking 2.5 to 3.5 hours for the 8 total...

Hey all you Hikers - Anyone interested in eating a massive amount of food followed by a slow to moderate (closer to the slow side on the ascent) hike? Myself and Mr. Unfrozen Caveman will be at the Highland Center at 8:30 am TOMORROW for a breakfast and hike somewhere in the general area...

Hiking the Hancocks Hi Gillian - I just saw your post on the Hancocks. A couple questions: What time are you meeting? Where? and How brisk? Estimated time for 10 miles? Thanks... I'll check back a little later tonight and first thing in the AM. Youngblood

I posted a thread about a week ago to see if anyone wanted to do the Tripyramids and/or Osceolas this weekend and got no responses. Perhaps my mentioning of the riddles scared people off. No riddles on this one! I think the new snow today into tonight will make for some exciting conditions on...

Mt Mansfield Looks like we may actually get some snow out of this storm!!!!! I think I am going to bail on Mt. Mansfield and stay a little more local. Have a great hike!!! Youngblood

Mt Mansfield hike I may join you on sunday for a nice winter peak in VT. Haven't been up that one in awhile. I was hoping to get up the Osceolas/Tripyramids, but they can wait. I'll be looking for the details of the hike. Thanks for the post. Youngblood

High Winds atop Mt. Chocorua It's funny you mentioned that you had memories of cold weather on Chocorua... My girlfriend and I tried to summit this "little" mountain about a month ago, got within 10 feet of our goal and had to turn around because of EXTREMELY high wind. We could see the metal...

Would anyone like to join me next weekend (Feb. 25/26) for some interesting riddles while "bagging" a few peaks???? Tripyramids and Osceolas in a semi-long dayhike either Saturday or Sunday (whichever day works for others).... I'm thinking about attacking these beauts from the Kanc side, but...
