Spectacular photos Dave. Glad you had an amazing time!

I don't know if you saw my post on "that other website" but just wanted to make sure I thanked you for retrieving my pole and dropping it off. :o I actually did get the hang of the SwissBob and must agree with Trail Trotter that it sure beats butt sliding! I got a few great luge runs in, and...

Whoa - think I'm still a little dizzy from that photo of Chomp! It's like having a glug-induced flashback ;) Dave - your pictures are fabulous, as usual. What a great weekend. I have to say we got some of the most spectacular views I've seen hiking in the Whites - more than made up for the...

I hiked the Kinsmans yesterday (only 11.5 mi and I'm still beat today!) with Poison Ivy, and she mentioned reading your TR, so I had to see for myself. I'm so impressed that you covered all that ground solo, and your photos are absolutely stunning. Obviously you get along with your cameras well...

I second the recommendation to see a podiatrist - if you think it's a foot related cause. A friend actually had a problem with a tendon from ankle/calf area, and was lucky to find a podiatrist honest enough to say he couldn't help her. You can test if it's the plantar fascia by pushing on the...

Jealous Great pics, Dave - even the ones of me aren't too bad ;) - so jealous of the polarizing filter! 'Twas a great day - hopefully we can repeat it this weekend, although your feet and my knees may be carrying a little extra (stuffing) weight!

Great photos as usual, Ivy. I particularly love the one with the cairn in the foreground. As you may recall, I also had to abort a trip to Liberty due to illness (I made it as far as my avatar photo), so your example may inspire me to try again soon!

I think your gray jays were lunching with us on Avalon that Sunday! We did a much more leisurely afternoon hike that was probably all I could handle after battling a miserable, lingering cold. But kudos to you for persevering in those conditions! :)

Happy New Year Very entertaining report, Ivy - sounds like you had quite the adventure! Your photos are beautiful, as usual.

Well, I'm just happy to have survived my 1st winter 48 peak in less than ideal "winter" conditions! Despite the weather, Ivy & McRat, you got some gorgeous photos! Thanks, Ivy, for organizing and McRat for the toasty ride to the Station. And thanks to Bunchberry, Mohamed, and McRat for your...

Thanks, Ivy, I felt much better by Sunday and should be able to gorge myself by Thursday! Dave - amazing pictures, as usual (although I could live without the super close-up of me). Wish I could have made it all the way up with you to see the rest of those views in person. Happy Thanksgiving! :)

Another great TR & photos! Wish I could have been there. I love the shot of the dog in her shoes. Did they come with little crampons? :D

Great hike, great company Hey, whaddya know? I'm posting! Thanks for the trip report and the photos, Amy - you still remembered plenty more details than I did. Yam - your photos are great too. Keep me in mind next time we need a multi-Amy hike! And thanks to everyone for helping me lighten my...
