I did a quick search and didn't see any information on this hike. I am looking to hike the Sleepy Giant in Southern CT this weekend and was wondering if anyone had any advice, comments, or other for this hike. I picked up a book on the fifty hikes of CT from EMS which was helpful for some...

The goal was simple, knock another winter 4K off the list and see the lunar eclipse. Chinooktrail and I parked at the Zealand parking lot at 1:00 PM ready and anxious to get back to a 4K hike. We chose Hale since it was on several of our lists, most significantly, on both our winter 4K list...

I took a day off and did a morning hike on Welch-Dickey last Monday morning, 10/30. The weather was very nice, though the conditions were wet following the heavy rainstorms on Saturday into Sunday. I got to the trailhead at about 0830 and headed up the Welch-Dickey Loop Trail going...

Honoring the tragic victims of September 11th is the least any of us should do. I woke up early on Saturday the 9th and went back to basics, starting with a breakfast at my mother’s house and an early drive up north. I pulled into the Cog parking lot a little before eight and met GO, Kevin...

Okay, I will be at the Cog Station at 0800 (or close enough to that for a person driving up from CT) and start up the Ammonoosuc Trail at around 0815. I will have a pole and flag. Any others interested in bringing anything else with you, it would be great. Plan on doing the National Anthem at...

I finally broke away from the electronic leash of work long enough to do SOME type of hike, and it was amazing. I can't put it to words, but getting back on the trail after really being away for about two months or more just seemed like a reunion with old friends. And the first of the old...

Drewski and I started up the Jim Liberty Trail after sleeping over at Camp Chinook around 1000 on Saturday morning. The weather was nice. It was warm, let’s say in the mid 60’s, with some high clouds. After two or three pots of coffee, the Professor and I started up. We had a good...

I'm planning on doing Owl's Head, starting at Lincoln Woods at 0630. The plan is to do the Black Pond bushwhack, and then possibly the Brutie Bushwhack. But it may be the slide, depending on what the group feels like doing. All are welcome. Last weekend try for getting Owl's Head this winter!
