photos Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

boots Hey Earl I had a pair of leather boots resoled years ago. I, like you, loved the boots but wore the soles out. I had them done and my only complaint was that they were so much heavier with new rubber on them. As you wear them and the soles get smaller (and lighter) you don't notice it...

awesome hike Great photos as usual Darren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Balmy 38 degrees here in Lowell MA Take Care

Dogs on the trail I agree totally with dvbl. If you want to bring your dogs hiking, thats fine. BUT keep them under control. (That means on a leash) You wouldn't walk down the street at home with your dog not on a leash. Please please don't tell me "Oh he is friendly". This weekend I heard...

Mystery Item Not that I have ANY fashion sense at all. However, I think that thing is a belt of some sort to hold up trousers.

Last week it was a rainy Trypyramids loop. This weekend my friend Mark (ATLTPCT) suggested a hike up Mt Adams on some lesser used trails. So off we went from Lowe's Store. Up the Lowe's Path, take a right in The Link and hook up with the Israel Ridge Path to Mt. Adams. Trails are in great shape...

sticker OK Who was parked at the Irving in New Hampton on Saturday morning around 7:30 am. I saw the car with the VFTT sticker in the rear side window and when I came out it was gone. I was on my way to Ammo / Jewell loop. Maybe next time.

I have read all of these posts, an though I have had very few "issues" in the mountains with folks doing stupid things, I guess the way I usually handle these things is to try to be as non-confrontational as possible. I was behind someone on the OBP one time and I started picking up Poland...

Huntington Vs. Tuckerman There is no comparison between the 2. Huntington is much more difficult than Tucks. Much more exposure and much steeper. Refer to the AMC guidebook for a very good description of this trail. Good luck and Happy Hiking.

I can really relate about Sunday While you guys were getting blown off Madison, a friend and I was getting knocked around on Jefferson on a Caps Ridge / Castle Ridge loop . A VERY tough day in the mountains. I can really relate to the slippery slimy rocks. I also took numerous falls and slips...

Gear I am NOT a gearaholic! But I am a "packaholic". I usually go though a whole "need" versus " want" argument with myself when looking at new gear and end up deciding that I don't REALLY "need" it and end up not buying anything. But packs are a different story, I have 10 ranging from a...

Sierra Designs #100 Sleepin Bag I saved and saved and saved and bought this bag in 1972 and still use it today.

Sno Cat Stud Like Michelle says................It is a stud from the Sno Cat.

Congratulations Great job on your first marathon. It is a tremendous feeling isn't it? Mine was Boston 2004. Good luck in your future running endeavors.

zeacliff Dave's correct, arrange to take the shuttle in to the trailhead at the end of Zealand Rd. The hike in from there is very nice, easy and scenic, and you get to stop at the Hut for a break, water and facilities both on the way in and out. The trail above the Hut up to the ridge is a...

fly by video Fly by video was awesome............ GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!

Saving Miles = Saving Gas Crystal Wildpeaks is right, you can save about 20 miles going that way (at least) Have a great weekend. :)

West Bond -Save the best for last I finished last month on West Bond on a clear day. I could not asked for a better place to finish. The views were outstanding. You can look all around and see just about all of the 48. And you are on a spur so it is quiet , peaceful and serene. I spent about 30...

Boot Spur I have been up Boot Spur as well as the other routes. I enjoyed Boot Spur as it is less crowded and gives one a different perspective of the whole area. Coming down Lion's Head is probably the easiest. Coming down Tucks does a number on your knees. Have fun.

Long's Peak Hey Pammy Great Report and photos............ I attempted that hike in 1977 using the same route you did. We only made it about 200 yards past the keyhole. :( Your report brought back many great memories of that hike. Your photos are outstanding. I feel like I need to go back...
