I took you seriously and printed out this TR for my bedtime reading last night (all 16 pages!). What an adventure! I was struck by how wonderful the hike was...but I kept waiting for the tragedy...so strange that it happened when you were finished (good thing too). The scary thing about this is...

Hi Oldsmores! I remember fondly our Algonquin/Iroquois hike together, last winter(?). Have a great time, and hope the views are better than last time!:)

I plan to be there I'm going to be able to make it this year, and look forward to seeing everyone!

Trail Conditions: Packed snow until tree line reached, then icy crust atop snow as we ascended and descended Algonquin. The cols between Algonquin-Boundary and Boundary-Iroquois were firm consolidated snow (no spruce traps!) but no defined trail--we headed straight for the cairns which were...

Congratulations Phil!! Haystack was so spectacular that day, shining and glimmering in the bright sun. You had the picture perfect ending to your quest. I'm so glad I was there to share the moment with you.

You might walk into the woods for some "peace and solitude" but you don't walk to the top of Mt. Washington at night in the middle of winter expecting peace. I agree that this doesn't sound like a missing hiker story, but more like someone in crisis who purposely decided to do something dramatic...

I hiked to Blood Mountain (the highest peak on the Georgia AT, a very popular, relatively short hike with spectacular views) in May 2006 with my step-mother. In that area, the AT runs east-west, and is crossed by US 19, 2.4 miles east of the summit. However, if you are dayhiking, there is no...

Neil and Sylvie, I first met you both when we hiked Noonmark together on a winter day a couple of years ago with me and two of my friends. You both very graciously loaned my friends your full crampons when their snowshoes and instep crampons were not sufficient to make it up the icy slope to...

Okay, now we're full The last two spots were filled today....yippee!

The trip is on...and will stay that way I edited my post and deleted the "cancel" word. We're going come hell or high water. :)

I'm willing to do that. Fortunately, I did hear from a couple more people today (Arm and unfrozencaveman) who may take 2 or 3 more bunks...

We still have room! A few people changed their minds, and it turns out that we’ve still got 4 spots left for the Feb 24-27 trip (three nights—Sun, Mon, Tue) to Camp Peggy O’Brien (near JBL). It’s a 3 mile hike in, but then you are in a great position to hike the Great Range, Big Slide, or just...

4 spots left I'm thinking about pulling a sled into JBL with all of my provisions. (My husband made a couple of homemade pulks for me awhile back using plastic sleds. If anyone else in the group wants to borrow the other one please let me know.) As I mentioned before, I need the whole Great...

Conditions: Trail was packed until about 300 feet below the summit, and then we broke trail the rest of the way. About 6 inches of snow at the start, and about 12 inches of snow or more near the summit. Temperatures were comfortable in the trees, but when we reached the exposed rocky summit, it...

We've got room! Love to have you join us, Doug. You are #8. There are 4 spots left now.

I'm putting together another trip to Camp Peggy O'Brien as Tom's trip on 3/10 is full and its not fair that they should have all the fun. :) You will see that this is almost identical to Tom's trip, except two weeks earlier and starting on a Sunday. Here are the details: Camp Peggy...

Unfortunately it looks like I am going to have other obligations (a wedding and out of town company) that stand in the way of the great BBQ weekend. I'm depressed. I was really looking forward to being there. (Spence, just this past week I had my first experience with a stinging nettle in my...

The Adirondack Loj Campground near Lake Placid, is about 2 hours from Albany, and would be a great base camp if you are car camping and want to hike. You won't need to drive anywhere, as the trailheads to many of the high peaks are right outside your front door. Plus, there is an information...
