    Thermarest NEO pad

    I just recently bought 2 of these (got them both 20% off) and used them for the first time on one overnight. They are very comfortable but mine deflated to where I could feel my hipbone touching the ground in the middle of the night. My wife's did the same but not quite as bad as mine. I know...

    White Mountain Guide Online Question

    I wasn't able to find a previous thread on this so I'm sorry if this has been discussed already here. I seem to have found a discrepancy with the 'Elevation Gain' feature of the White Mountain Guide Online. Or maybe I just need a clarification as to what I'm seeing. Maybe someone can help me...

    One Day Solo Presidential Traverse - 8/16/08

    So, I had been planning and anticipating this hike for a couple years now and now was the time. The plan was simple, I was going North to South as most would do, over 10,000' of elevation gain, all 11 summits, 23+ miles, and I was going it alone. Simple huh? Yeah right!! :eek: This...

    Camel's Hump & Killington Peak in a day - 9/21/06

    Day 2 of a short peak-bagging trip to VT. Very brisk morning as the cold weather was starting to set in. Spent the night at the Best Western in Stowe and was up early so I could get a jump on the day. Made my way to Camel’s Hump Road, which there was no sign for, but had a good map and good...

    Mt. Mansfield - 9/20/06

    So, this was to be my first peak bagging/hiking in VT. Hard to believe, but then again I'm such a White Mountain lover who can blame me. I've definitely had my share of skiing in VT over the years however. Anyway, the goal was to just kind of wing it and head north to bag some of the VT 4000...

    Moosilauke via Gorge Brook Trail - 6/20/06

    Sad to say that this was my first opportunity to get up to my favorite place in the world this year (The Whites). Anyway, it was a last minute decision to pack up the two labs and my son and head north for a couple days. School was out, I was off from work and by God we were going hiking! So...

    Seeking California Hiking Ideas

    My finance and I will be heading out to California at the beginning of June next summer for two weeks and we're trying to figure out where we want to hike. We don't plan on bringing all of our overnight gear, so it will have to be mostly dayhikes. We'll be between Sacramento and San Francisco...
