    Carraigan Sunday 12/20

    Had a beautiful windy day...bring traction. Plenty of spilling ice on the trail! Without traction this hike will be dangerous. Water crossings look good. Sawyer Road is still open!

    Owl's Head 12-19-15

    Lincoln, black Pond and Franconia Brook trails are in fine shape. The slide is covered in ice and very dangerous. Bring the Brutus bareback tracks with you. Stay off the slide! Please keep an eye out for my bright green Komperdell poles! They are on the side of Franconia Brook trail someplace.

    Boundary Peak and Ed Hawkins

    Hi everyone. Boundary Peak and the swath are in fine shape but the canister has been busted open! I am trying to get the next person going up there (she is in the Rangely area now) in contact with Ed. Apparently he has a canister and bracket ready to go up with the next hiker and we have a hiker...

    Baldpate 5/16/15

    I know, and they hung another sign too! Looks like a game of tree domino's in that area! We were so exhausted coming off that trail and we felt really good about what we did. There were spots where 3 of us lifted 10 inch trees and slid them off to the side or pulled smaller ones into the woods...

    Baldpate 5/16/15

    Rick, Sean and I met at the Old Speck/AT parking lot kind of late and hit the trail about 10:40. We passed a man with a chainsaw in hand and asked if he was part of a trail crew. He told us about all of the trees down and warned us it would be slow going. He said he tried but "gave up"...

    5/10/15 Elephant Mountain, Maine NEHH

    It was a nice drive from Gorham, although it was nearly and hour and a half it went by quickly, saw a small female moose eating just inside the woods on route 5.....I always love to see wildlife. The roads are perfectly clear all the way to the parking area, there were no huge washouts, we...

    The Weeks.....5/2/15

    The water is a bit high right now and I assume it will get worse before better? It is crossable, we had to walk along the edge a bit to find spots. We bare booted until we were past the water and we had crossed the logging road, maybe a mile. Then switched to snowshoes. We left tracks, and with...

    Vose Spur 4/18/15

    I am so glad to not have to carry them, it's pretty much the only thing I like better about warmer weather, not carrying so much stuff!

    Vose Spur 4/18/15

    Or we could share! You can have them in the summer and I will take them in winter?

    Lost: Red microspike vose spur

    Please contact me if you find it? Size medium. No idea where except on the whack someplace!

    Vose Spur 4/18/15

    Vose Spur still had quite a bit of deep slushy snow on the bushwack. The water is high, there is standing water on a lot of the ridge trail. There is a monorail down low and what's left of one closer to the whack is pretty mushy. If you don't have to go there before the snow melts then don't...

    Goose Eye 4/3/15

    Just wanted to update this, I got my rope back and there are tracks all the way to the clearing below the rocky summit.

    Abraham (Abram) 4/12/15

    Nice to know what to expect when I get there! I have to come back to NH for the Weeks and Vose, then back up to Maine! I still have Baldpate and Elephant then up to the 6-pack.... Maine has turned out to be quite lovely! I know I will go back to Abr(ah)am again in summer.....
