Hi all,
After chatting with one of the admins, he suggested I post here. I'm writing a story about the response among the forest bureau and hiking community on the day of 9/11, 2001. I'm looking to talk to any hikers who happened to have been hiking in New Hampshire on the morning of 9/11. My...
Wow, has it been that long since I've been here? Time flies! Anyway, thought I'd post a quick report on Buffalo and Tough Cookie's recent jaunt up lovely Mt. Sunapee. There's nothing like breaking in new hikers! Hope you enjoy the post: Picking faith over fear on Sunapee
On the trail again, it feels so good to be on the trail again! Janelle and I wedged in a great hike to Zealand Falls between book events! Man, did we need that. Short trip report here: Hoofing it to Zealand Falls Hut
Great that you're back Chris! Good luck on the July Presi Traverse, we'll be out of town that week. I've tried yearly to do a full traverse now for four years running and something has always forced me down. I'll try again this year in late July! Hope to see you out there sometime!
After the last difficult week, Janelle and I felt we needed to be back in the Whites. We had an afternoon on our hands, so decided to see how high the water was along Bemis Brook and Arethusa. This is what we found: Arethusa Falls casts a Springtime spell
Glad you enjoyed the post Gritter, we know what you mean. We are (very) tentatively planning a clean up day down there in the fall. We'll keep folks up to date on our Facebook page and website if that's something anyone is interested in.
Thanks Adventurous... we couldn't agree more. I know it's likely heretical to say this, but we love coming across some old stone foundation or abandoned relic in the middle of the woods! Lots of old mills to explore down there in R.I. :)
I've been promising Janelle a first visit to an AMC hut and a walk on a frozen lake for a while. We got to do both Sunday in a hike up to Lonesome Lake and hut on one of the nicest days of the winter so far!
Here's the link for trip report and pics: Lonesome Lake and the draw of the ice

Great way to spend the afternoon!
A thick fog shimmers in the flash of the camera at Battery Point.
Thanks Chris! Yup, we got the little one pretty much outfitted now (that is for another, like, two weeks until she grows again). Tomorrow, we begin snowshoe lessons!
Well, the girl and I have decided to spend some time kicking around Southern NH and seeing what we can find in our own backyard. Turns out a lot!
We started yesterday (on what looks like it will be the last non-snow day of the season) with a ramble through Pulpit Rock Conservation Area. A...
Hi Red Oak... no alas, I only wish I was so efficient that I could get posts up the day after a hike! We finished our 52 and tagged Janelle's first 4,000 footer in mid-November!
Does anyone know if Megalloway Road is closed and/or maintained during the winter? For a logging road, it's very well maintained in general. I have no idea how passable it is during winter and if anyone has experience getting to the trailhead during this time of year. Thanks!
