Yes, x/c skied to Black Pond junction and ditched skis there.

Looking to do Owls Head this coming Saturday with my dog. I hike about 2mph. Will try to do two bushwacks. Anyone interested?

Where is you purchase it?

Thanks 1SH! Can't ask better than the exact coordinates. Looks like snowshoes will be a must with the potential of a big storm Wed. and Thurs.

Thanks. Hopefully, the answer to my inquiry will enable me to post a future trip report. (-:

I'm hiking Owls Head with a friend on the 15th, my second time doing OH and his first. I missed the Brutus Bushwhack on my first tour up OH. Is there a landmark or something to find where it starts? Thanks.

I'd like to volunteer to look for her. Is anyone organizing volunteers for the search and rescue effort?

I just got back from my five week Patagonia/Antarctica trip last week. Just before leaving for the Antarctica segment of the trip, I did an experiment in the city of Ushuaia which is located on the southern tip of South America. It's latitude 54°48′south. I visited a local park that had a large...

We'll be arriving in El Calafate, Argentina on Monday. Spend three days there before heading up to El Chalton, Argentina for four days. Then back to El Calafate for a couple of more days. Head down to Antarctica after that. We're really looking forward to it.

Many thanks for the feedback. I've ordered a Suunto MC-2G compass and will bring that. Will also bring my standard compass. I'll also test the compass on my iPhone. I'll report back later in March how everything compared.

My wife and I will be going to Patagonia next week for ten days. From there we go to Antarctica for three weeks. Will be doing some hiking but just day stuff. Here is a question for all of you as I can't seem to find a straight answer on the Internet - does a compass work in the southern...

Go to my blog, www.myalpinesummits.com. There are trip reports for seven 14'ers. All seven hikes were very enjoyable. I had no problems. Just tried to get off the mountains by early afternoon.

Thinking of doing East Sleeper Monday, January 28 via Downes Brook and Kate Sleeper Trails. Attempted it December 20 via Whiteface side and failed. Fell way behind schedule breaking trails (no snowshoes) that day and ended up walking out in the dark. Let me know if anyone is interested. I...

I used to boast that I had never gotten a flu shot or had been sick with the flu. However, two weeks ago the influenza virus knocked me on my ass. Had high fever, congestion and had to go to the hospital. Luckily, they caught it in time so that the Tamilfu prescription they gave me was...

I might be interested in Scar Ridge. Need to do it for my NE100.

Yes, sign me up. However, I just know one of these days I'm going to do something stupid on the trail and I'm going to end up crawling back to civilization to avoid the cost of rescue.

Would appreciate a detailed trip report if you decide to do it. I might want to try it this winter, too. Thanks.

I concur with Pierce via Crawford. It was my wife's first winter hike and first 4,000'er. Twenty-six 4,000'ers later she still lists it as her most memorable hike.

Just hiked it in October. You can park in back of the hotel or head up the road in back of the hotel where you will see the old water tower. Trailhead parking is there. Have fun!
