On the first curve you can see what I believe is Little Haystack on the next curve you see Cannon

A tauntaun cannot be easy to cut open. I can barely open my snacks on a cold day.

KAHTOOLA MICROspikes Traction Device $51.96 at EMS

My wife and I did it last year. It was damp but not that muddy. The only difficult part was the birch glade that Dave mentions. It had chest high undergrowth and the "trail" no longer has a footbed.

I have done a dozen trail marathons and only one winter Presi traverse. The traverse is way harder. The miles cannot be compared to walking on the wilderness trail or Owl's head. Unless we get a ton of snow, the walk thru the northerns is rocky and tedious. I did Monroe thru Madison on Friday...

The scary thing is that I get all your SCRUM references. ;-) No really, what a GREAT day!! It was wonderful to see everyone along the way! V--

I hiked the Hancocks on Tuesday afternoon and was probably one of the last people out there before the warm weather hit. As Becca said, it is probably way more fun on skis but I would bet that all dozen of the crossings are now open and the skis would be on and off.

3 inches of fluff at Carragain. Temperature was 15 when I drove thru Notch at 3. Probably last 200 yards to the hut is very steep.

It is well covered but quite firm. Lumpy in places too. After a couple of inches of snow, it should be perfect.

Gated with snowmobile traffic when we were there last Saturday (the 29)

The is a spring (sometimes) on the north side of the trail at 4300 feet near Mt Blue. In all likely hood it will be frozen

Who? Dave, that was exactly what came into my mind, too! I think that makes us geeks. :D J&J - beautiful photos!! V--

An offer to "help" I wonder how many cars have stopped and offered a ride on Rt 2... I bet they've had a few at least! :)

Thanks Trish. I really enjoyed having you both along and it was super special because of the fantastic weather! http://charbs.smugmug.com/Our-Hiking-Journal/NH48-2011-2012-Winter/20120216AdamsandMadison/
