Try Mt Willard near the Highland Center. Excellent views with little effort required. A real nice hike for a novice. Enjoy the trip wherever you go. Don :cool:

For this weekend, 5/31, will snowshoes be needed between N & S Twin? Hoping to not need them, but will take them if needed. Will stabilicers or micro spikes be enough traction for this hike? Is the road to the N Twin trailhead still gated? Thanks in advance.

Thanks! Thanks all for your help! I knew I could count on the VFTT community. :) :) :)

I am planning to do both Owlshead (day 1) and the Bonds (day 2), starting from Lincoln Woods off the Kanc. Where is a good spot to set up camp? Would like to start early on day 1, set up camp, hike Owlshead and return to camp. Day 2 hike the Bonds, return to camp & return to Lincoln Woods...

Sleep Bag Liners I have a fleece liner sold by Campmor, it serves my purpose. Have used it in the huts, alone on a warm nite and in a sleeping bag for added warmth. :) Don

How late into October/November are they open? Do they close like some of the huts? TIA Don

Does anyone have the GPS co-ords for the Black Pond Bushwack? Will be trying it in about a week and would like to have them "just in case". Is the bushwack fairly dry? I did it a few years ago and seem to remember some wet spots. Thanks Don

NH sounds good to me. As well as a possible unofficial weekend for the "flags" weekend. :eek: :D

It will probably take longer than you think. Leave yourself plenty of time. Crampons will probably be needed, maybe snowshoes (although I haven't been there recently). Have fun! :D :D :D

Recently on a hike with a group of about 10. One person decides to go another way down and agrees to meet us. Of course, that person gets lost. Spend about 2 hours trying to locate her, some of the main group weren't too happy. Anyways, person found. All is well that ends well I guess. But...

Try REI for the bodyglide. That solved the chafing problem for me along with some polypro boxers. :D :D :D

Be sure to pack the Deet. The mosquitoes are man eaters. In the past few years, they were the worst I have come across.

A lost tourist pulls into a gas station, Do you know how far to Poarland? The attendant looks and replies, About 30,000 miles the direction you are heading. :D :D :D

Three come to mind in no particular order, Chocorua Adams Isolation Bondcliff (Couldn't stop at three!) :o :o :o

Is the Road to Osceola still open? Hope to hike Osceola on Sat, 11/19. TIA
