Silverfox, If you are going up Hale to clear blowdowns - there might be more like 6 - 8 of them. I said 5-6 in my post, but I might have forgotten a couple.
Hi. Many thanks. The present plan calls for a least one more trip to the Belknaps, then an annual visit to Chocorua. After that we will probably head back to the high peaks.
Hey, man...thanks for the greenie (and the splitting wedge; it's getting a workout). Yeah...Pierce is clearly a challenge sometimes without enough cairns and blazes...dunno why. See you at the next Booze and Vittles?
