I'm not interested this year, but I may be next. I don't know if my location is of interest to you though. Do you have any interest in the Berkshires in Mass? Lot's of good hiking, kayaking, etc. I have a brand new house, small but cute, centrally located to everything.

Thanks for the heads up. I just finished watching this show. Beautiful footage.

Has anyone seen Into the Wild yet? I read the book a few years ago, loved it. Like so many, I could definitely relate to "Alex". Such a sad, sad story. Some called him foolhardy and foolish, but he was following his own passion. Can't wait to see the movie. Sorry if this is a repeat...

Gris- I don't think anyone is trying to tell adults what they can or cannot do. And I don't think anyone is advocating for two VFTT's either. I do think there is a percentage of VFTT'ers that may prefer a less party, drinking oriented gathering, especially for families with kids. I...

Your pictures are fantastic. Your son looks like he is having a blast, and so do you! You must be very proud of him. Don't you love the internet? The fact that you could share these great pictures with so many people is so wonderful. I really enjoyed seeing them.

Two summers ago I arrived at the summit of Alander with my little dog on leash. Two hikers, also with a dog, warned me to keep him on lead, they had just seen a rattler on their way up. Got home to read they had airlifted a hiker off of nearby Bear Mt. that very afternoon after a rattler bite...

Both Monument Mt. and Laura's Tower are within 10 minutes of my house. Both are nice short hikes. Laura's Tower is the one with the tower at the top. Be sure to check out Ice Glen while at Laura's Tower. Ice Glen has some amazing rock formations, and a few of the largest White Pines...

This is a place that is near my home, but I have never gotten around to investigating till today, thanks to your post. Thanks for encouraging me to get out there, we had a wonderful time. A perfect day. We hiked up the hill to have lunch, sat and watched many tree swallows , and finally two...

I live in Berkshire County and there is an endless amount of things to do if the weather is bad. The hiking is good, if you decide to get together in North Cty. Greylock would be an obvious choice, but there are many others. I personally think the best hiking is the Taconic Ridge, but that...

Ice Glen is only a few minutes from my house, and definitely worth seeing. Some really large white pines are in there, plus some amazing rock formations. While you are there, take the other trail up the hill to Laura's Tower, the view from up there is great. Take rte. 7 north from the...

I live in Stockbridge, MA. Wish I had room to host everyone in my backyard! There is lots of good hiking in the area, and tons to do for the nonhikers. I'm not sure if the area offers the challenge that the VFFT'ers I met last summer are looking for though.

I'm considering bringing my 15 year old nephew and one of his friends. They are not real hikers, but have been for a few hikes with me and had a blast. I'm marking it down on my calendar and trying to get the days off from work. Anyone that's been there, what is the campground like? I may...

I've heard Bear Rock falls is really nice. Discouraging to be so close today and not be able to find any way to cross! I'll have to try to go back this weekend, when the water level should be down a little bit.

There's a reason why thru hikers call this section of the AT one of the nicest parts! Today I parked at the AMC trailhead on Mt. Washington Rd, planning on hiking north to the summit of Race Mt. What a wonderful day to be in Sages Ravine! With all the rain lately, the water was really high...

Thanks for a great time Spence and Maddie. It was nice to be able to meet all the people behind the posts. Too bad for me I had to leave early Saturday. The bad weather kept me driving directly home instead of stopping for the hike I had planned. Thanks Daxs for taking slow me to the...

Carol- This looks like a hike I would be interested in. Can I join you? Dana

How's the weather forecast for up there? They are saying rain here Friday and Saturday. :(

I hope there will be some people interested in doing some easier hikes. Most of the trips described so far are way to hard core for me! I guess I'm a wimp. I don't get to hike as much as I would like, so I am definitely not ready to tackle those 12-14 hour long, multi peak days! Anyone out...

Looks like I may make it up for a night or two after all!

I spent a week in Keene last summer, camping and hiking. I had a blast! I know the area pretty well, my Dad lives in Willsboro, so I go up at least a few times a year to see him. Went up about two weeks ago, and did Poke-a-moonshine and Rattlesnake. Not high peaks for sure, but I'm ready to...
