I am not sure where to respond, Kim-bo! Thanks for your post! I ended up unfortunatley blowing a tire on 93--a good sam helped me change to my donut, and Rob waited for me at Lincoln. We ended up doing a Franconia Ridge Traverse, up Skookumchuk, down Osseo...great day! Warm with snow on the ground and no wind! Neat to see the Bonds from the other side of the Pemi, the past two times I've done the Ridge its been socked in. Killer day! 16 miles, 4700 gain, 8 hours, 15 mins! Woot!
