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...

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...

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...

Being a self confessed shameless lists peak bagger, I am looking at lists that I may attack during the non-winter seasons. I was tempted by the NE111 but those are some serious drives for me. However, the Trails Wright list seems perfect. If I count the 10 peaks left in my W48 list I’ll be...

I'm planning an up & down hike to Adams tomorrow. Airline all the way up and back, possibly Valley Way down. With a very remote chance of picking up Jeff via gulfside. From reports I guess the biggest concern is ice not snow. I have m-spikes, hillsound-pros and snowshoes. Think I should carry...

Zealand and Carrigain are two of my target peaks this winter with long road hikes. I may have to do them as overnight backpaks pulling my pulk up to a camping spot (or staying at the Z hut ). But I was also thinking that maybe I should try to ski at least the road parts. Thing is, I have never...

I'm curious. Does the snowmobile road over the bridge, where the BW starts, end up at the summer trail head at the end of Haystack? Does anyone know what the difference in distance would be. I ask because the BW is pretty much flooded and frozen (yesterday) and right now there would be no...

BW from Little River Rd, N Twin Trail and N Twin Spur In &out to both Twins 2/3/16 Date of Hike: 2/3/16 End of Little River Rd plowed, only my truck today. BW from Little River Rd, flooded and iced over, light traction highly recommended. NT trail to last crossing (stayed on east side) comb...

I'm thinking of doing Mt liberty with an option of Flume Friday - (if the weather holds). What is the best place to park? The Basin or Liberty Spring TH, or is it a coin toss? Also any thoughts on if I can leave my shoes in the truck? After last week, I'm really going to try and lighten my load...

Date of Hike: 12/25/15 Trails: Gale River Loop Rd (FR92) -Gated, Gale River, Garfield Ridge, & Frost trails Trail Conditions: Wet and muddy in the lower sections. no snow, only a hint of ice up high. two major river crossing hoppable, with some wet boots. Only a few step-over blowdowns. most...

There is a slight chance that I might hike Cabot tomorrow (Christmas), if not -Saturday. I Any thoughts if the gate will be open or closed and not really ;) locked. I know it usually stays open 24/7 in the winter but I assumed that's snow related. Does any one have the phone number so I can...

A friend lost an olive drab and tan colored thermarest ground pad on the trail between the Bonds and Lincoln Woods trail. This would have been Friday September 11. If found, please pm me or email [email protected] and I'll put the owner in contact with you - thanks

The 20+ yo son of a good friend is planning a 4-5 day back packing hiking trip in the whites with 1-3 friends. Starting around next tues the 8th. I think they will only have 1 car so they are considering loops rather than a traverse. They were given two suggestions for a southern or northern...

Somewhere along bushwhack between Carrigain and Vose Spur. Within .2 miles of Carrigain along the ridge. I don't expect it to be found - I think I lost it in some pretty thick spruce. Unless I left one at tower. [email protected]

Finished my NEHH list this past Friday 08/28/15 with Vose Spur. To make it interesting and help my 15 yo grandson Kris with his 4k list we went via Mt Carrigain. It was a long day for this one slowhiker (14 hrs) but we got out of the whack with 1 hour of daylight to spare. Believe it or not...

I'm planning to get my last NEHH in a few weeks with my 15yo grandson. Figured I try to give him Carrigain with the trip. He has done 8 4ks, and the PATN BW with me. I've seen several post of a vose spur-carrigain loop and it seems doable. But I think it may be easier doing Carrigain first with...

This past weekend I knocked off the last three Vermont Peaks on my NEHH list. 07/30/15:08/01/15 Trip Stats: Jay Peak (3861‘) and Big Jay (3800‘) 07/31/15 via Vermont’s Long Trail, up and back on VT Long Trail from VT RT-242 and Bushwhack/Herd paths between Jay and Big Jay Per my GPS; 06:01am...

Lost on 7/31/15. If found, please email me and I can arrange to pay S&H. They are probably along the last quarter of main herd path to Big Jay. I lost them on the way to Big Jay and couldn't find them on the way back so they may have sunking into the bogs never to be seen again :(. At least it...

Does anyone know the name of this broad leafed vine?:confused: I'd like to know what to call them when I'm cursing at them on a bushwhack. This pic was taken from Downes Brook trail (not a bushwhack) but I've ran into thick, ankle grabbing, areas of these guys on PATN and Scar Ridge. -Thanks

Date of Hike:7/17/15 Trail Conditions: Downes Brook up to the last 1/4 mile. Trail itself is is dry, numerous crossings (12+?) - All fairly easy rock hops. A dozen or so blow-downs, all well trimmed and easy step overs (maybe one crawl under). But the last 1/4 mile: many thick fir tree...
