If you are ever up north on rt 16 just north of the Berlin line, that's not a new ski jump, it's the old original one being restored! :D We were contacted a while back by the company restoring the ski jump. The owner had seen our video from 2012 and kept us in the loop on the progress. Last...

This is the last trip report from our vacation a week ago. We figured we would go for an easy one and head for the US/Canadian Border at the top of NH to hike to the smallest, but most important Connecticut Lake…The 4th Connecticut Lake. Parking for the hike is at the Border Crossing. There...

We still have a couple of TR’s from our vacation last week, just getting the videos done is slowing the process. This adventure took us back to the abandoned Paddock Mines in Lyman, NH. John Paddock bought this land back in 1875. This time we were able to get to the true Shaft # 2. We thought...

On our continuing effort to try and keep the videos updated on our Fire Tower Map, we revisited Cannon Mountain. There was no Fire Tower List when we first completed Cannon. This was the first 4K we ever hiked. Heck it was really the first mountain we ever hiked and it didn’t go well. We...

We are back on vacation, we were going to take the RV to PA, but the bike rack we ordered did not come in on time, so we reverted back to our old fateful, Twin Mountain. This adventure brought us back to Cherry Mountain (Mount Martha) to update the video for our Fire Tower Map. The first time we...

Well I finally finished the edit on the last adventure of our past vacation. There was so much footage, it was hard trying to decide what to cut and what to keep. This was the crown jewel of the 4 adventures only because it had been on the bucket list for a long time and it was located in one of...

The third adventure that we went on during our trip to Maine was Elephant Mountain, just north of Greenville to visit the B-52 Memorial. We got there using Prong Pond Road off of Lily Pond Road. There is a parking area across from the trailhead that would hold around 10 vehicles. The directions...

The second adventure that we headed out on while on our Maine vacation was a quick hike to a cool place…an ice cave. If you are going to be in the area for any reason and are looking for a hike that won’t take long, then consider the ice cave in the Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area, located to...

Looks like we went and grabbed Baxter Peak one day before Wayne grabbed all 3. We spent the last week in Millinocket, Maine knocking 4 things off the bucket list. One of those 4 things was hiking Mount Katahdin – Baxter Peak. Getting internet in Millinocket was not easy so research was at a...

We finally hiked Hedgehog Mountain. We have been putting it off because we had heard it was a busy mountain on the weekends. We can say it wasn’t busy on Sunday. We hardly saw another sole and we had all 3 viewpoints to ourselves as we arrived at them. We got to the Downes Brook Trailhead about...

The second hike we did on our mini vacation was to go and search for the Magalloway Cave. Not much for views, but a cool trek none the less. We have been searching for it and this time it was a success. We travelled as far as we felt comfortable in the SUV, then found a spot we could pull over...

Took a mini vacation and had a chance to get a couple hikes in, but the campground we were staying at was seriously lacking in the WIFI department. :( The first hike was last Thursday and we did the Webster – Jackson loop. We parked at the trailhead for the Webster-Jackson Trail. We could...

Well it has been almost 2 months since we have been able to breathe in fresh 4000+’ air and this hike was well worth it. Between the Christmas season and work requirements it’s been a long 2 months. We also broke in a new camcorder on this hike. We hope to incorporate both camcorders into our...

With the Christmas Season here now, work days are becoming 10 hour days, so editing hiking videos and writing up TR are a bit of a challenge. HO HO HO! :eek: Last Saturday we went to Mount Osceola and the East Peak also to update the video for our Fire Tower Map. We were surprised to see the...

This was the most unique hike we have been on to date and we did it on Halloween to boot! Not much of a hike either just a 2 mile walk up a paved road, that is in incredible condition for being over 50 years old, located in the Northeast Kingdom. We love finding old buildings and artifacts, this...

Saturday morning the alarm went off at 4:30 AM again. It was almost a repeat of the prior Saturday when we hiked Killington, only this time we drove past Vermont’s exit 1 on RT 89 on our way to Mount Mansfield. We now have 54 of the New England 4000 Footers under our belt. :cool: We parked at...

We took another trip to Vermont to grab Killington Peak, #53 on the New England 4000 Footer list. It’s a little further so the alarm clock was set for 4:30 AM and we were on the road by 5:30. We had been keeping an eye on Mountain Forecast all week and the morning was supposed to be ‘some...

Back in April of this year, my wife and I were going to hike back up N.E. Goves and try to find the fire tower remains that we didn’t find the first time we went. After talking to Iris Baird, the NH Fire Tower Historian, we were told that as far as she knew there wasn’t a tower on N.E. Goves, it...

Seeing how we didn’t want to deal with the leaf peeping crowds last weekend, we decided to head west and revisit a fire tower. We actually revisited two sites, but that will be another report, video is not even edited on the other one yet! :rolleyes: We went back to Craney Hill Fire Tower (it...

After hiking Abraham and Ellen, we decided to get a motel for the night , then get up the next day and hike Camel’s Hump for #52, seeing how close it was. The plan worked out well we even found one with a hottub and an indoor pool. :cool: We got to Huntington Parking Lot around 8:30 the next...
