    Hiking after knee surgery

    I had two meniscus surgeries on my left and one on my right before I got back into hiking. I did a (gentle)round of P90X a couple months after the last one and found any lingering knee pain disappeared. That was six years ago. I still do similar exercises found in that program, mostly lunges and...

    Winter Boots

    Thanks for the input. Looks like I'll have to wait until next year. Selection has all but disappeared.

    Winter Boots

    I'm sure I've seen this thread before but I can't seem to find it. I've been wearing Columbia Bugaboots for the past few years. I like them but I get about two years out of them before they start to leak. I don't think I want mountaineering boots. What are people happy with?

    Mt Madison on Saturday

    My cousin & I had planned on Adams via Valley Way on Saturday but a late start (for us) and windy conditions had us go for Madison instead. A light dusting down low had us delay putting on spikes until just below the hut. We should have done it sooner but got into a groove & couldn't stop...

    Wildcats on Saturday

    In a word, steep! I hate to admit it but I was worn out by the time we got back to Pinkham.

    Wildcats on Saturday

    I think we did meet you guys. We were doing an out and back. We crossed paths when we were headed back and you guys were heading towards A Peak. If I remember right you said you had Cabot left?

    Wildcats on Saturday

    Started out at Pinkham to avoid any high water crossing on the Ellis River. Alaska doesnt like fast moving water. Turned out to be unnecessary, but it adds a gentle warm up to the steepness of the main trail. Trails are much drier than I expected after the recent rain and in great shape...

    Knee surgery..been there? done that?

    I' m 48 and I've had three surgeries for torn meniscus over the past ten years. Two on my left and one on my right. After the last one three years ago I decided I should lose weight(40lbs) and start excercising. I've been doing P90x for the past three years and it has helped a great deal with...

    I use the Thule Parkway 4 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches - Tilting. Works well & is easy to put on & take off.

    Solo Tent

    REI Quarter Dome 2 person is great for one. Leaves room for gear. I found the single person tents to be too small for me. (I'm 6'1")

    Bluebird Day on Isolation 3/9

    Our original plan (cousin Taylor & I)was to use Glen Boulder Trail up to Davis Path but we changed coarse because the parking lot was unplowed. Looking up at Boott Spur from the summit of Isolation that may have been a good thing. It looks like a challenge getting up & over that twice. We ended...

    Carter Dome via NMB 2/17

    Hey Hoss, I forgot about the drifts up top. They were big but thankfully solid for the most part. I also forgot about the gentleman we passed when we were almost done. He asked how windy it was on top. He was planning on staying the night up there. I can't imagine wanting to do that. The...
