Can anyone help with a ride from Lincoln Woods to Zealand early next week? Gas money included! PM me for day and time. Thanks! BTW - Zealand to Lincoln Woods works also if that's convenient for you

Mt. Cabot via Bunnell Notch, Kilkenny Ridge, Mt. Cabot Trail Date: 1/28/12 Trail Conditions: Previous tracks snow covered. Marty broke trail most of the way to the summit. An inch or so of powder over crusty snow, some unpacked snow under the crust. Nice track now after our out and back...

Date of Hike: 01/29/11 Trail Conditions: Both trails are broken out and pretty well packed, some post holes from barebooters. An inch or two of new powder on top of the snowshoe track. A few blowdowns, easy to go around or under. Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes, gaitors, poles...

It has been a while since I’ve posted a trip report. Nine months ago, I think….and no, new baby to talk about :eek:! Much has happened with us since my last TR, some very bad, but ultimately, some very good. My family and I have been tested to the max, and I think we did pretty well...

2009 is rapidly coming to an end. As I look over TR's and photo links, I see that it has been a great year for hiking. So telll us, where did you go, what did you hike and are there any good stories out there? Some of my highlights - I met many new people on the trails, at after hike events...

According to the thermometer in my kitchen, it was nine degrees. Ugh. Already dressed and almost packed, I ran outside and started my truck. Like me, it gave a little groan then turned over. Some last minute gear for my pack, a cup of coffee, and off I went. Oops…. forgot to gas up – one...

Date: December 18 2009 Trail Conditions: Crawford Path was already broken out to the summit of Pierce. It looked a little windblown going north from there. We saw not tracks on the Webster Cliff Trail going toward Mizpah Hut. Several blowdowns, easily gone over, under or around. Equipment...

Marty and I met up with LarryD at the Bennett St. parking lot and began our trip up to Sandwich Mountain. Marty and I hadn't hiked in a while and we did some catching up on the ride up, and on the hike. The Bennett St. Trail was in great shape, some mud and no snow. We all had traction with...

It’s funny how you hope for the best, but plan for the worst. That’s how this trip was. I put the idea out to some friends a month or so ago for a Franconia traverse on 10/17. It would be the week after Columbus Day and hopefully the ridge would be free of the usual crowds. I checked the...

I have a pair of Lowa Scouts that need new soles. Does anyone of a resoler in the Boston area? Thanks

He was scouring over maps and trail guides. He gleaned information from those wiser than he, from sources such as Views From the Top and Rocks on Top. Over his lifetime, he made countless visits to the mountainous region north of his home. He climbed the peaks, and took in the beauty that...

It's the last Saturday in July, and that can only mean one thing. My annual trip to Mt. Washington, to join in the Paul Perry Mt. Washington memorial hike. Paul was a Massachusetts State Trooper who died in a helicopter accident in February, 1995. Also killed in the accident was Trooper James...

It started on August 5, 1968, and I didn’t even know it. I was five years old, and my dad decided to climb Mt. Washington. He led my older sister and I to the summit on a summer day. I was hooked! He and I hiked different areas of the White Mountains over the years. We hit a few four...

Carrigain by way of Signal Ridge, out and back. I'd like to be on the trail by 8:00 AM, #48 for me. All are welcome.

A Monday off, a friend available to hike and a decent weather forecast. Tony and I decided on a 2G Loop. I needed Garfield and Galehead for my NH 4K list and Tony was up for a long loop. I picked him up in Concord about 5:45 AM, we both overslept a little. I actually got three and a half...

I was in the Conway area yesterday, gas prices ranged from $2.399 per gallon down to $2.259 at the Irving near EMS, and $2.249 at the 7-11 in North Conway. I'm sure they've gone up by now - the gas station at Rte 125/16 in Wakefield was $2.2259 in the morning, I passed it on the way home and...

I got a late okay from my wife to get away for the day, and I had to make a decision about where I wanted to go. My list of remaining peaks is getting short, and I really want to finish. Wildcat D was still hanging out there all by itself, so I figured, “why not?” I was saving that peak for...

5/21/09 Trail Conditions: Lost Pond Trail was in good shape, one bog bridge was underwater. Wildcat Ridge Trail was clear and dry, a few blow downs easily stepped over. There was some snow at about 3500', but easy to bypass. Mud pits on the ski trails, some of it almost invaded my boots...

It has been a while, six weeks to be exact, since my last hike. Major health issues with both of my in-laws have prevented any one us doing just about anything. However - with school vacation looming and a small window opening, I got a reprieve to head north on Valentine's Day, as long I was...

LarryD, Marty and I met up in Conway at about 7:00 AM and piled into my car, with a brief stop at Dunkins for coffee, tea and hot chocolate, with whipped cream. The weather reports were for temps in the teens, with high winds throughout the day. It seemed to us that staying below tree line was...
