Not a good day to be messing around with water crossings.

A rare event for sure. But, I do remember the Total Eclipse July 20th 1963. Don't remember the exact % where I was. Just guessing, 90. Just remember it looking like twilight in the afternoon. I'm all set with the sh*t storm the traffic will be like on I's 93 & 95. What I get from where I am...

Been in that area 3 times, only to use 27A to get to Rocky Branch Dome. (Not an official name as far as I know.) Very cool little knob.

Since we've drifted away :LOL:, from Sawyer River Road, I have a question about Rocky Branch Rd. Non-winter parking was at a gate, just before the first of the 2 bridges going over Rocky Branch River. The first being an older wooden bridge. The second the newly replaced. My question is, could...

I was at the RBR bridge last, in October 2022 and it was still there. However, the road which was severely washed had been repaired. My previous visit was 2019. It would have needed to be repaired to get equipment up to, and remove the bridge. Have no idea if that happened sometime last year...

Didn't realize they finally removed it.

https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/13198304600/Frostbite-Hypothermia-Bad-Weather-Exposure-Lost-Inadequate-Equipment-New-Hampshire-Mount-Washington There was a great recall of this event by another SAR team member who was a friend of Dows. It was on PBS several years ago. Point...

His mother stated in an interview on AP, "he was trying to be his personal best." I assume that is for the Pemi Loop in winter, which is what he was doing.

Definitely going to be some issues from this storm. Hopefully no major washouts.

No, they aren't. But, tromping around were they could be sunbathing isn't something I need to do again. ;)

The Blue Hills in MA has a population of Timber Rattlers. I didn't know that when I high pointed a hill not on trail. Won't be doing that again.

I did this to my MicroSpikes, years ago. I use my Mircrospikes as my sacrificial spikes, so to speak. When I will be encountering both ice a bare ground. At any rate, it's easy to add straps to MicroSpikes.

As mention, there are estimated elevations, making the a couple 4010's questionable. https://www.amc4000footer.org/newenglandfourk.html I was doing the NE67 first, so these pics are from that peak-bagging. So imagine my surprise when getting to Spaulding and Redington. :unsure:

I've got know idea what's going on with this "new" bushwhack. It doesn't look like it's going to take you through the magnificent glades. The traditional bushwhack is to go in at the height of land and head NW on the 3200' contour. I've done it in winter, summer and fall. In summer when the...

Middle Sugarloaf from Mt Oscar yesterday.

This is funny because, I've seen those posts on FB emphasizing the, "solo". I think I've seen one "Soloed the Franconia Loop". That's not even possible. I don't get the bragging about hiking solo. I've solo hiked more than with anyone but it's only because of my agenda vs the people I hike with...

It may not be accurate, but at least it's consistent. I miss AMC Online. Really wish they had kept that.

From Baxters website.

First just to be clear, that's not my photo as I said. I'm thinking that's Lincoln from somewhere between Little Haystack and it.

For some reason her best photo is not in that group. This is also by =AZW5E7prUiZbSKFYKnj1CUCS6n8L80M0J5nHBGMmLpnr_-52-Js6duDUUb6wo_klkQGG027KFn-JRr_coYuMfFLejPraRt8qe2KiRN8vRWx_Si0NMqqUFZJJv9p8Ob8rBufT2wlIkCp369quhwDIJ6IyQXkHGQbzPGNptbxnszg2rs13jUtxUihAo9bHCcwuZsA&__tn__=-UC%2CP-R']Caroline Alden.
