I am so sorry to hear this. At the same time, the 17 years of joy that John and Pepper enjoyed together is remarkable. We all benefited when we crossed their paths/trails Hoping that John is comforted with all the memories and photos he must have collected. .

Georg is an inspiration to all who have crossed paths with him or better yet, hiked with him! Congratulations to all the Grid finishers, red liners, list completers. Well done!

Peakbagger- like everyone else, I'm sorry to hear about your injury but glad it was not a worse accident than it was. I enjoy your posts. Like Andrew remarked above, many of our mishaps occur in places where we relax our guard since they seem so benign. When we're on the scary terrain or in...

Wow- how awesome to see so many trail friends from the 2000s! Let me see if I can upload a few... Baxter 2007 Arm, Donna and Sue biscuit; Cupsuptic snow shot from 2000 w/ Dennis Crispo, Larry Labonte, Mike Distefano, Paul and Francine Richards among others...and another Baxter with MEB, Harry...

The Mahoosucs are an awesome, if very challenging area to hike. Among the options for Mt. Success besides the "washboard road", is the trailhead to Gentian Pond off Route 2 in Shelbourne (the Austin Brook Trail, which leads 3 miles to the AT). Once reaching the AT, it's just 3 miles to...

Hi. I hiked the Haute Route in 2008 and the Swiss Alpine Pass Route (Via Alpina) in 2013. I have not done the Tour de Mont Blanc but I believe it is more popular than the Haute Route. The Haute Route takes you up some pretty high passes and offers alternatives for each segment in the event...

Becca- hi to you. I doubt it was as cold Sunday as Saturday with those winds. Heard from one of our "trail breakers" that you were out snow shoeing just a week after breaking your leg. True die hard! Hope it is healing fast. And to Tim- well, you know how popular those canisters are to...

Headed into the Berlin Fish Hatchery, expecting a challenging day to Unknown Pond peak on a trail not well used nor blazed. Parking lot was not fully plowed out but there was room for 4 cars this day. Surprised to see two cars there and delighted to see 2 out of 3 familiar faces- Jeremy and...

Congratulations, Jeb! Great job! What's next?! :)

Rainy start to day prompted a late 9am start for me. First mile to Tablerock junction was no problem. Next two miles were exhausting due to massive blowdowns everywhere and very soft snow. Major kudos to 1SloHiker who was probably first one up after last major snow storm and broke a trail up...

sled- to haul extra boots which were not necessary and to keep my shirt dry. :)

Barely able to fit car to right of shoulder line on 16 this morning. Set off on skis pulling my sled under gray skies and steady wind. This is one of those hikes you have to be grateful for snow mobiles…and astounded as to where they sometimes go. Switched to snow shoes around mile 2.5 or so...

Relieved to make the 8 miles on Success Pond road. The road is plowed a little wider at trailhead to enable Parking for Carlo Col and Goose Eye trails - 2-3 cars safely. No evidence of any human activity on trail but moose post holes lower down and some rabbit activity higher up. Trail was...

Gluckwunsche! Bravo! Felicitations! Congratulations, Georg! Wish I crossed your path more often. Besides being an amazing hiker for any age, you always have such a cheerful demeanor- maybe all that hiking? You are a treat to see on the trail. -Lucky Laura

Congratulations, Becca! You have always been among elite company!!!

Congratulations, Mark! I wish I could have joined you on the finishing hike. It's been great running into you over the years.

Congratulations, Bob! Amazing accomplishment- you were number 9, I heard!. Hope to see you out there on another pursuit. LL

Congratulations, Donna! Awesome accomplishment. I love telling people about what you call the type of "break" experienced when a group waits up for others only to take off as soon as the others catch up! Fond memories of Baxter with you and that motley crew several years ago. Congratulations...

Tried to do this 2 weeks ago after big dump of snow and warm conditions. Not only could I not find the trail/route off of Cabot after floundering around for 30 minutes, I realized there was no way I had the strength to break it out over to the Horn if I could find the way. Started up Bunnell...

Set off in fair amount of new snow this morning. No evidence of hiker tracks but one could make out a faint depression on the trail where previous hikers had trod prior to latest snowfall. No problems with water crossings but steep climb following last crossing was challenging with deep new...
