A small group of us decided a backpack on the Grafton Loop would be a great way to spend the long Fourth of July weekend, BUT, since we were all suffering from lack of backpacking much lately, we decided on a more 'leisurely' pace and just opted for the Northern/Eastern half of the loop. The...

ok all you photographers, I'm looking into a camera bag. What is it about your favorite bag that you love? What couldn't you live without in a camera bag? What do I need to look for and to look out for? Do some have features or qualities that you just couldn't do without? Favorite brands? Just...

Well, it took me almost exactly 4 years to get her there, but Geneva has now hiked to all 48 NH 4K peaks! The hike was wickedly fun, and had all the things a great hike to Owls Head should have, bugs, mud, sketchy water crossings, scratches, blood and lots of laughs! The weather was perfect...

I seem to have some sort of issue with Fairpoint and getting onto trailjournals.com I keep getting errors and my DSL can't 'find the server' is the most common one. Fairly sure it is not a setting on my computers, as I have the same issue on two laptops and my iPhone from my home. When I am...

My friend Nate is starting his journey of hiking the AT! He is posting on trail journals and I am going to try to follow him there, and try to get some trail magic to him when I can. The link to his journal is http://trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?id=371679 In case anyone else would like to...

Well, Geneva was in a holding pattern at 46 for a wicked long time. So we finally got her to 47 on Mount Washington on St. Patrick’s Day. The original plan was to meet up with friends who were doing a partial Presi Traverse and hike with them from Washington to Monroe, where 2 would finish...

On my drive home last night I noticed the sign when turning onto 113 in Holderness that the Rattlesnake Trails are closed. I would guess it is for mud and will reopen when dried up, but not sure. Just trying to save someone a trip if they wanted to head over that way. ;)

At long last Geneva has hiked to a new summit for her. Leaving her only 2 on the NH48 list left. We hiked with a wonderful friend up to Isolation today. It should have been with many friends, but for some reason we were late to get started. :rolleyes: Isolation seemed to be the place to...

Just saw this article and wanted to share. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/18/sports/arctic-adventure-a-1500-mile-trip-by-sea-kayak.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp Have not had a chance to read the whole thing yet. I'm not so sure how close I would want a polar bear to me in camp... :eek: Probably...

Saw this article this morning. http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/story/2012-01-17/nepal-park-attacks-missing-tourists/52779650/1 When will it ever be safe to travel solo? :mad:

The AMC puts on this series every winter season from January through the end of March. The food is usually great, the company is fun and the presentations are mostly breathtaking. They happen every Wednesday night, except for Vacation week, featuring a different region and it's cuisine (or...

Geneva and I had a nice walk up to the always pleasant Mt Morgan ledges and summit today. The trail was almost entirely void of snow, just a dusting here and there. It did have a decent amount of ice and frozen ground, as well as some mud, and a few open running streams. I bare booted it for...

On my last trip using this stove the little fuel screen that 'should' be on the end of the plastic tube that is inserted into the fuel can popped off. I've looked around online and can't find the proper way to fix this. It doesn't just pop back on, not sure how it was originally attatched...

Really fun hike and Bushwhacks to Garfield Ridge East and West Peaks via Gale River Trail, Garfield Ridge Trail and down Garfield Trail. The morning was just the right temp to hike along and not be too warm or cold. Well, until I took a little dip in the first river crossing and tried to...

Wanted to get out and walk the cobwebs off the snowshoes today, so decided on a nice little trail to get them all warmed up for winter hiking. Ferncroft parking lot was all plowed out and there were even a few other cars there. I was thinking of heading up to Blueberry Ledges, but when I got to...

We got a bit of a late start at 12:30 after finally deciding on a destination and the car spot. As Pa so clearly pointed out, walking through that first line of trees after walking through the field and by the transfer station at the beginning is like walking into another world! The trail...

I was considering hiking to Owls Head on Sunday to get Geneva one peak closer to visiting all 48, but the offer to hike Ike > Pierce > Jackson sounded way more fun on a decent day! Fun always seems to win out, guess that is why it is taking me so long to get her to all the 48! :rolleyes: It...

Just curious if anyone has used the White Mountain Iphone app yet, and if they like it or not. I was thinking of getting one of the excel apps for my phone and someone mentioned that one to me, since I would mainly be using it to keep track of mountains. There may be one for Maine and...
