    Madison via Airline w/kids for FOT48

    Headed up Airline on Saturday with Sean and Emily hoping to get to the summit of Madison for Flags. After getting a later start than planned, I resigned myself to just seeing the flags on Madison and Adams from the ridge, but I was surprised and happy that we actually made it to summit with a...

    Enjoyed a 6pack over the long weekend...

    SATURDAY Chain Of Ponds Snow After a very late start driving, headed up the ATV trail just before 6pm. Easy going up to the pond where there is much mud. Up the trail to Snow I bonked (hard) when I got to the large rock face that you have to climb around. All that sitting in the car for hours...

    Condition of Caribou Valley Road

    Funny .... this doesn't feel like a bushwhack

    Headed up to Reddington last week using Mohammed’s directions, which may seem a bit complicated to read, but are very accurate and easy to follow once there. Exactly 1.1 miles from the AT crossing is the fork on the logging road. The cairn marking the road to the left is hidden in the...

    Hiking a peak with a view on a viewless day

    Chocorua 11-6-05 If you got out Sunday, you know what I’m talking about when I say that the sky was grey with low-laying clouds and the air was thick with moisture. Rain and possible thunderstorms were predicted for the afternoon. I figured I should get an early start so I would be off the...

    Does frost bite scar ? I've got a nice patch of it on my face (ok, a few patches) and was thinking maybe I should see a dermatologist. Any suggestions on treatment or should I just leave it alone ?

    Mt. Monroe & Mt. Washington 2-2-05

    I’m not sure what happened or what, if anything, I did to deserve having the mountain gods smile upon me, but on Wednesday, February 2nd, they did. I left the house at 6 a.m., and was headed up the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail at just before 9 a.m. The trail was hard packed snow and easy to...
