Tuesday 2/7/12 - Tecumseh, Hale, Waumbek?

[BobC]

Looking to get back in shape after a year off from hiking 4Ks, so I'm taking a day off on Tuesday and will be hiking either Tecumseh, Hale, or Waumbek. I was never a fast hiker, but a year's worth of almost no hiking at all has slowed me down even more. However, I hiked Passaconaway on 1/28, and did ok, just wasn't very fast.

Start time will depend on which hike I choose; I'll probably pick Tecumseh if I'm alone.

I'm also taking Tuesday, 2/21 off to hike one of the above-listed peaks.

Not quite as exciting as BIGEarl's Bonds trip this weekend, but if you're looking to knock off a less-exciting 4K from your winter list, and want some company, let me know.

p.s. I've hiked all of the 4Ks, and have done 20 of them in winter, in case anyone cares to know about my hiking experience before deciding to join me.

Hiking Waumbek with Whichway tomorrow, start time of 9:30. If interested, send me a PM.

Make sure you hike the extra 100 feet(plus or minus) to the new viewpoint. If its a clear day its a nice one for a formerly viewless summit

Thanks for the tip, Dennis...will do!

The last (and only) time I did this hike was with you and Nilsa, in April 2008.

Did the Mt Tecumseh trail look like it would be ok to skin up with skis? Might do a dawn patrol up there tommorow AM

Yes, I don't think you'd have any problems, it was very well packed-out except after taking a right at the fork near the summit.

Too late for the original question, but for anyone interested see Tecum$eh - I did it my way - another not-so-pretty time.
