At the considerable risk of sounding like Larry King; "for my money Algonquin Trail is one of the best anywhere in the Whites." But really, the varied terrain, the open forest, the views from Uncanoonuc to Washington and Winnipesaukee and Squam , Black Mtn Pond.....man I think it's...

Nice report, Len. Good to see people come together to remember such an important day in a respectful way. Thanks.

Wow. Fantastic accomplishment! You two are prolific paramblers. Perhaps a full length movie is in the works?

Hey, I was on Mansfield on Sunday the 15th. I went up from Smugglers and down Hazleton Tr to Stowe. Its funny but on the ridge just south of the summit area I passed a guy who I thought I knew from somewhere...anytime that happens I figure it must be from noticing peoples pictures from...

Edward Abbey, John Muir, Gary Snyder, H.D. Thoreau, Robert Service, Basho, Han Shan (duh) Robinson Jeffers, Wendell Berry, Edna St. Vincent Millay. Tom Brown. D.T. Suzuki, Aldo Leopold. Huge Peter Matthiessen fan too. Strictly local; I like Lucy Crawfords history of the Whites...

I was hiking up on the Davis Path once, I was going to camp off the trail somewhere, it was close to nightfall, it was nice and warm with a breeze, the bugs weren't bad........I was young..... It was kinda liberating till I started to imagine every noise was a person. I even managed to...

Actually, "Transparent Organ" was the name of my band back in high school. Way to go Christine. 45! I am happy for you. Make sure I know when you decide on the Bonds......I am looking forward to it.

Waumbek is vastly underrated in my opinion. Great views from Starr King, fantastic open hardwood ridgewalk over to a comfortable little summit area. And Cabot is where I finished my 48. I had never cared to "finish" but finally got around to it a few years back. Finished in a freak...

I just got back late last night from the coldest, wettest most miserable night I have ever spent in the woods. I hadn't been to the Bonds in quite some time. I had a nice three day weekend ahead of me so off I went. Saturday I camped out down low off the Wilderness Tr. and enjoyed a nice...

Lincoln Woods/ Wilderness Trail is a great place for mind games as it is. The long green tunnel has a way of making familiar shapes out of downed trees and boulders. Plus, by the time you are walking out of there, its usually been a long day (Bonds, Owls Head etc.) or you've spent a few nights...

Thanks for sharing your report. (I am quite jealous. I hope to get to a point where I can be in that region someday. Take me with you next time ?, I'll carry your stuff?) I just reread "The Snow Leopard" and have been contemplating going at least to India if not further up. Vibrant and...

3. Jefferson. Great loop options. Beautiful location too. 2. Isolation. Aptly named peak. Nice open summit. 1. Carrigain. For all the reasons mentioned as well as being able to see 43 of the 47 other 4K's. Great centralized outpost.

Toughest trail in Northern NE? Three words; Mahoosuc Notch.

It was never hot. It was never cold. It rained a bit. Left on Crawford and came back the same. Mud and flowers on the flats below. Gibbs was roaring loudly. Moose hooves were frozen in the tri-colored mud. Layers of earth. Undermining runoff opened crossings that were earlier snowcovered...

So what is the verdict on our itinerary? Up Ammo I'd imagine, and then are we going to grab Washington or Jefferson or go over to Tuckermans and down? I'm up for any of those options.

Dory; I have had my 20deg down bag for 6-8 years. It's tired but it still works quite well. I think as long as there isn't some traumatic event like a flood or animal attack they can really live a long and productive life. Chip; thanks, now I'm gonna start seeing those girls out of the...

See you at the Cog @ 9. I'm really looking forward to it, guys.

I have conversed with the powers that have held you at bay lo these forlorn weeks and thy will hath been done. Now is the dawn of a new era, an era of good feelings and gladness shall bound from every split in every rock..... On the fifteenth day of the fourth month; we shall pass...

Actually, in LenDawg years, you're 280. My god, lay down and I'll throw dirt on you already.

Aw man, ain't nothin simple right? Good job stopping when you did. It's never easy, especially when the weather changes afterwards.
