Hiked Mt Pierce with some friends and my nephew yesterday. Weather was pretty chilly at the start, and the winds had yet to die down like they predicted earlier in the week. Once we got into the woods and heading up Crawford Path things were much nicer. The sun felt pretty good too. We ended...

Too lazy to post the whole thing description over again. just go to onoffrhodes.com for some pics of Carter Dome on 3/5/11 -Pete

I may have dropped my Garmin Forerunner 305 in the parking lot of the Beaver Brook XC ski trails Friday 1.15.2010 around 6PM. If anyone is heading that way on Saturday and doesn't mind taking a look, it would be greatly appreciated. It is red and on a velcro strap. Thanks, -Pete

For some reason I can't reply to the other Carter - Moriah Post. However, that trail you followed up to Mt Surprise was a group of four of us from Saturday they 12th. It took us almost 2.5 hours to get to Mt Surprise and we had a time schedule we had to keep so we turned around after getting...

Anyone know the conditions on Hale? Is there snow and ice on the way up yet? Is Zealand Road close at the gate yet? I am thinking of taking my wife on an "easier" 4K that she has not done yet and was wondering what Hale is like right now. Thanks, -Pete

My friend Erik and I hiked Madison and Adams on Sunday. The weather could not have been more perfect for this time of year. We left Concord, NH at 6:15 and quickly got to Appalachia. Not too many cars in the lot at this time. It was a brisk 10 degrees too. We quickly change and got on our way...

Hiked the Hancocks in a counterclockwise fashion on Super Bowl Sunday with my friend Erik and his father-in-law. Weather was actually pretty darn sweet. It was cold at 8 degrees when we left the car, but little wind made easy to deal with. The trail was pretty firmly packed out and I didn't...

Hiked Eisenhower and Monroe this past weekend with my friend Erik. It had to be in the top 3 of best hikes I have had to date. The weather was absolutely perfect. Sunshine, warm temps, and no wind. Since a picture is worth a 1000 words, here is about 64,000 words. I've posted a slideshow from...

So two of us hiked Edmans Path down from Eisenhower yesterday and we noticed for about the last mile or so what appeared to be old snowmobile tracks frozen in the ground. This became more apparent as we hit several blowdowns and you could see how some one made a path through the woods, often...

We're thinking of doing Eisenhower on Sunday (1/13) and I was wondering about the couple choices. 1) There is the Up Crawford Path option which seems like fun and exposes you for quite awhile to the open and potential conditions. 2) Walking up Mt Clinton Rd to the Edmands Path (or is it...

Met my friend Erik at 6:30 in Tilton. It was a balmy 12 degrees there. By the time we reached the parking lot off Mt Clinton road the temps had dropped to a sweet 2 degrees. There were tons of people in the parking lot, presumably for the bird count. We kind of hustled to get out of there and...

Thinking of doing the Pierce-Jackson loop on Saturday. Anyone got an update as to the conditions? How is the steep section headed down to Mizpah? What kind of foot traction would you recommend? -Pete

Doing Willey, Field & Tom on Sunday 11/25. Meeting at Willey House parking approx 9:15 AM (+/- 15 minutes). PM me, or email me at onrhodes at yahoo dot com if you want more information. -Pete

Okay, I'm looking for a good profile picture of the Old Man of the Mountains. Preferably something that could be replicated part of a tattoo design. I've got a basica idea in my head for a tattoo to commemorate my 48 Peaks and part of it involves using the profile of the Old Man. I've been...

First I have to say I was prepared for clouds, drizzle, and no views when I heard the weather report on Friday night. Needless to say that was not the option I wanted....... HOWEVER....Left Concord at 8Am and arrived quickly in Franconia Notch. The parking lot was packed with out of state...

Hiking Falling waters over to Old Bridal Path on Sunday for a friend of mine to bag Lincoln and Lafayette. Not 100% sure on meeting time in Franconia Notch yet, but email me, leave a note here, or PM me if you would like the details. cancelled if raining. Thanks, -Pete

Anyone intersted in doing a Bonds Traverse (2nd Annual) on Saturday, September 29? Starting at Lincoln Woods and ending down Zealand. Start time is 7:30 AM. Need to spot probably 2 cars at the other end (depending on group size). I've got a couple "probablies" so far from my friends. I'll be...

Well, last weekend on August 25th I finished my NH 48. It took my 27 months. I hiked about 1/3-1/2 of them solo and the other with various friends and relatives. What got me started was my wife returning to college. With her working barely part time and me having a slight burnout from 16...

Just wanted to invite anyone who would like to join or meet or just say Hi to hike Moriah on August 25, 2007. This will be #48 for me. It'll be a bit of a different pace as so far I have several young nieces and nephews coming so what would probably be a 2.5 hour hike up will probably be more...

I just can't seem to write a detailed trip report for Owl's Head, so here goes the Cliff Note version. Left Concord, NH 6:45 On the trail by 8 Long flat drag into woods, river crossings were okay, but still took off my shoes to make it easier. Slide was steep, rocky and loose Peak was nice...
