I was there on 5/9/15! The best part of the hike was no bugs!! I hiked to the east peak, and realized it was the wrong peak once I got there (no canister) UGH! So I whacked over to the west peak and found the canister!! YAY! Glad your hike went well!! I obviously didn't take the most direct...

Congrats John and Pepper!!

The need to go some place that wasn't changing or going to change any time soon. The desire to visit places I haven't been before but have literally lived in the shadow of all my life. Turning 40.

I leki my poles!! I hiked my first round of 48 without poles. In March I backpacked the first 30 miles of the AT in Georgia with my daughter (who is hiking the AT hoping to finish sometime in Sept - go Pacemaker!!! - she's currently in MA) I used poles and found them extremely helpful...

I vote down the ski area . . . I went up WCR and down the ski slopes . . . I agree with Bob . . .the views of the Presidentials from the ski slopes are great . . . and after going up the Wildcat Ridge trail, I knew I didn't want to go back down it . . . at least my knees didn't want to . . .:)

Hiked to Cabot and back . . . Unknown Pond trail has several wet/soft spots easily avoidable by going rock to rock, at no time did I have mud over my boot. Otherwise the trail is in great shape. Kilkenney Ridge trail to Cabot . . . a couple bog bridges near term but holding their own . . ...

White Birch are "pioneer" species and get established in areas after some sort of disturbance (ie: logging, land clearing, road building, hurricane, fire . . .) They are relatively short-lived and are shade intollerant. As a forest matures, White Birch will die out, making room for other...

unicorporated towns The unicorporated places (towns) in Coos County are governed by the county. Some have people living in them, like Dixville, Millsfield, others like 2nd College Grant, Ervings Location, Dix's Grant, are unpopulated and completely owned by one landowner. In the case of 2nd...

thanks for the tip rejean I've considered that, but I haven't been out hiking much this year . . . not sure I'm ready for the trip yet . . . need to get a few more hikes under my belt, but thanks . . . Don

ok I'll be there, dark green chevy p/u

count me in . . . I need to work up to doing the bonds sometime and haven't had a chance to get out much. This sounds like a good hike, I did it last year and bushwacked back to the north twin trailhead . . . long way around . . . the car spot sounds much more appealling. Let me know where...

:rolleyes: <<<<< weed??, :rolleyes: <<<<<< baked goods??, I could probably do the xtra water thing :)

Sounds great! I'm new to this group hiking thing . . . so . . . is there anything I need to bring . . . like . . . for the group?? I'm used to solo hiking but am looking forward to the whole "group" experience . . . OK OK, I just didn't want to hike the Bonds alone!! :) See ya all around 6am...

Hi all, I'm interested in tagging along . . . I've got 4 - 4000'rs left and the bonds are three of the 4!! I live in Lancaster, NH so I'm pretty handy to trails. Any further info on meeting times/places would be great. My only concern is the weather, lots of water lately! Hope Sunday is a...

I'm a forester by trade, but by no means an expert on logging history, but here goes . . . (I like to hike also, 4 more peaks to go on the NH 48 list) . . . When i read the term skidder, I think of a large 4 wheeled rubber tired machine designed for "skidding" or dragging large bunches or...
