After all that, my dog sitter (AKA my daughter) bailed on me and I cant do Saturday or Monday :mad: If I had gone I was leaning toward switching to a long Carrigain hike to stay below tree line (mostly). Please post how you made out Fuzzy

All good points (reminder and 12 month from purchase), you should write to someone and suggest this. Personally I did not receive a reminder but did get an email with a pdf of the card when I applied for a new one for 2018.

Not very encouraging. Hey, even a partial attempt is better than sitting home. Last time (only time) I did Monroe (not official winter) there was waist high drifts too as I recall. If there is no trail broke out I won't last long anyway. If I quit early I can always swing over to Lincoln and...

Unfortunately I agree with the previous posts suggesting I bring crampons. I recall the section after the pool being steep enough that it may not hold snow. Hillsound-pro's will have to do, have never picked up full crampons.

I'll be waiting with anticipation for you to pass me and start breaking trail. If I go Sat it will be early by headlamp but you will be certain to pass me. Look for red RI Tacoma in lot.

I’m thinking about making an attempt at Monroe up ammo either Saturday or Monday. (1 of 4 remaining peaks on my NH4KW list). Weather/temp wise I’d prefer Monday but may not be able to. I am trying to go as light as I can safely. Would my assumption that snowshoes would be okay for the entire...

Twin Way from z cliff to at least z spur will probably be hard to follow. Monday it was barley broken out by two hikers Sunday and then me on Monday. Spur to Z mt had no sign of trail at all - went down 1' - 2' with each step. From Highway to hut to Z cliff well packed Monday from 28 hut guest...

Cell coverage was good at least for top half of slope. Great day for a hike less cloudy than predicted and no wind. . Should have stuck with plan of slack packing. Carried way too much gear and after several falls skiing down admitted to myself that I could not ski on the icy conditions with...

looks like a go. I have my ski pulk all set up to tow my skis and boots. Does any one know how good cell reception is from the slopes of wild cat. my wife is driving uo with me and will probably end up in n conawy or gorham while i'm hiking. It would be nice to be able to contact her if my...

Hi all, it’s been a while since I posted. Didn’t hike or walk much this summer after cracking three ribs when I dumped my bike. Planned on hitting some winter peaks in December but I hurt my knees falling out of a tree putting up lights. Ready to give it a try now – probably Saturday. Figured...

Slightly off topic; Has anyone been on blackpond trail this winter ( on the way to BP bushwhack) and come across any significant blow-downs? I cleared them in Nov and would like to know what to expect when I come up next time for trail work.

JDL was meant to be "Joe Dodge Lodge" at the Pinkham Notch visitor center. I spelled it out in the original post then TJ used JDL in a response so I figured it was an accepted acronym. Thanks for info on other bus, I'll have to check that out. Yes I did have a great weekend, wish I could have...

Thanks Chris, Just happened to see your log entry for the start of your 24H Hut to Hut in a 2012 C_N Hut log book while looking for mine for that year. Marvin

Great weekend. Yes, Tim, 19 mile brook was the best choice Friday. Two hikers tried Imp to M. Carter Saturday and had to turn back and come up 19 mile after trying to break trail to M. Carter. I stayed at the C-N hut Friday did Carter Dome and S. Carter Saturday. Trail to Hight not visible...

I like the idea of dropping weight at the hut before the Carters but that would be a very long hike for me. I'm going to take it one step further and add a day to my trip; Bus up thursday, Hike to the hut friday (short hike but I also have a 5 mile road hike on 16). Try as many Carters as I can...

I’m planning my first and only winter hike this year for this coming weekend. I’m hoping to repeat a hike I did in October four years ago ( http://1slowhiker.blogspot.com/2012_10_09_archive.html ) doing the Carters and Wildcats with an overnight at the Carter- Notch hut. I have a...

And ... if you know the lat & lons of where your interested in, you can edit the web adress with the new lat /lons and it will get you as close as possible. (dont need all the digits the original digits). For example; if the adress from the map click is...

Bob: So how does that work at the THs, do just leave it visible on your dash. Do you know if the visitor center at Lincoln sells the senior passes?

FYI , with the SPOT mounted on my shoulder strap in the winter I am able to send signals by pressing the buttons with the pointy end of the grip on my hiking stick.

How much faster does the tracking wear down batteries. I've thought of paying for this but not if it drains the Li batteries fast. I use the OK button for "Im on the trail" and send a signal every hour or so. I use the custom msg button for "I am either at a trailhead or at a...
