    Cannon-Kinsman Backpack

    After leaving a car at Govanis restaurant, Meb, Andy and I met up with Steve, Lisa and Dave at the Hi Cannon trailhead. Meb and I were planning to head to the Eliza Brook shelter for a sleepover, while the others in our group would turn back at South Kinsman. We started out a bit before 9am...

    White Mountain Tripleheader

    In an effort to spice things up a bit, Meb came up with a crazy 3-fer hike. She proposed we hike Cabot, then Hale, and finally Tecumseh. Why not... So, a little before 9 we headed up Cabot. The trail was littered with wildflowers; the only one I could positively identify was trillium, but...

    Kinsman Backpack cold and rainy

    The weather hadn't looked so bad for the weekend. Partly sunny on Saturday and then some showers on Sunday...it didn't give Meb and I any reason to cancel our plans for an overnight at Kinsman Pond shelter. Nor did arriving at Lonesome lake trailhead in light showers and gray skies. We donned...

    Southern Presidentials

    After a lot of effort, I finally convinced MEB and Andy to bail on their plans to hike Whiteface/Passaconaway, and join me instead on an above treeline adventure. The weather was spectacular! We headed up the Jewel trail around 8:30. Andy and I wore snowshoes until treeline, while MEB...

    A Crazy and Wild(cat) Adventure

    There's nothing like the challenge that waits when someone tells you "You definitely should not go up that trail, it's way too dangerous, and no one has been up there for weeks." This sums up what MEB, Andy and I heard from the AMC workers at Pinkham, regarding the approach to Wildcat A from...

    Oh, those Osceolas!

    Meb and I left Freeport ridiculously early Saturday morning to squeeze in a "quick hike" and make it back home in time for family dinners. We had decided to tackle the Osceolas....why not, it's fairly short mileage, and driving time is reasonable too. So we're on the trail a bit before 8am...

    Carrigain or Bust!

    Meb and I meet Andy at Sawyer Rd at 9am. Shortly after, Cold Mountain pulled in and to our great surprise was joining us for our hike! We were all so happy to see an old hiking friend. We started up the road a little after 9 and made it to the trailhead right around 10. Right away we saw the...

    Cold Day on Hale

    Despite the cold temperatures and biting wind, Meb and I ventured out Sunday morning to bag Hale. We were looking for a quick hike that would get me home in time for the Pats game. It was 6 degrees at the trailhead, brrrr. We didn't layer up too much because the initial part of the Zealand Rd...

    Tom Field Willey and Hale

    Meb and I left the Zealand parking lot saturday morning all set for a day of adventure! The Zealand trail was great, flat and easy, with lots of wildflowers in bloom along the way. Meb took pictures of them all so that we could identify them later using her new "Wildflower Identification...

    Maine Mountain Adventure

    Meb and I set out from Freeport on a very cold morning. Our planned adventure for the day was to climb N and S Crocker and Reddington!! We met up with Cath, our fearless driver, who braved CVR and brought us to within a mile of the trailhead. There was another car, and we had high hopes that...

    Burnt Mountain

    I am looking for information on the trail going up Burnt mountain(you know the one next to Sugarloaf in Maine). About how long is it and is it suitable for children? MEB and I are thinking about taking our neices (ages 12, 10 and 8) for a sunset hike. Thanks for any information :D

    The Moats 8/27

    Well MEB and I finally did the Moat traverse which is something that I have wanted to do for quite some time. We started at the north end trailhead a little before 9am. The parking lot was nearly empty at this time and we enjoyed a leisurely and peaceful walk into Diana's baths. The Moat...

    The Moats
