Paradox

Thanks for the greenie. I realize that getting a greenie from you is like... pulling teeth.

John -- thanks for the GSOA (green square of approval); much obliged!

From the NOAA weather site for the summit of Mt Washington:

I saw that Earl wants to leave at 7:30am from the trailhead. The likelyhood of finishing in the dark will be greater. Not that I mind but it's just not my preference. Are you fine with still leaving at 7am from the trailhead knowing we'll see Earl on the trail? If you prefer hiking with him I'm fine with that...I'm just asking

Great! I would like to start around 7am due to lack of daylight. I'm thinking it will take 90 minutes to drive there making this a 5:30am departure time. Do you want to meet me at the Exit 28 Visitor Center at that time to carpool? I can drive.

Thanks - Tracie is blown away by what she's read here. I hope that means she'll let my hike more once she's well

I know you had trouble with your GPS, but it looks like 2 drunks went hiking yesterday!

Maybe Zippy had the GPS strapped to her back!

did u see my email about dates?

Thanks for your support, humor and enthusiasm and the greenie

How are you doing with the weight loss program? I have lost another 10 LBS

Yes, I am!

Thanks for the green and congrats on the beginning of your weight loss! Fells good doesn't it

Thanks for the greenie!
I'm pretty much doing this with map and compass at the moment. That and a camera to take photos of the monuments. I have learned from the previous CM of this section that he never actually visited any of the monuments. He apparently monitored from afar by gazing down along the boundary from various high points in the area. I've only had this section for barely two years and have visited about 40% of my monuments. I also maintain a section of AT within this corridor so I'm sure to visit them all here in the not too distant future. I really like the historical aspect of the whole thing and feel duty bound to locate all of them and restore the boundary to a more respectable and consistent state.

Laurie and I did trap dyke (on a nice day) with out special equipment. For a tall person, piece of cake

So I have to maintain my weight while you lose yours? I am not at that stable point yet. I am still losing and want to keep doing so. I want to get to about 180 and now I am at 200. I have not been under 200 in like 15 years.

Your right the hard part will be keeping it off but I am sure enjoying watching them still come off
