Thanks for the invite, but there's 11 of us. Not all 11 hiking mind you, but we're travelling en masse. But thanks for the idea! I'll be back in Sept too, and Oct, we'll have to hook up at some point.
Hi Kevin, man, I'm glad I checked out your page. It seems as if your reply posted here. I'd laugh but I've done the same thing too. No prob if you can't make it, we'll think of something.
Its almost cruel to look at the NOAA extended forecast for this coming Sunday, as I know odds are that will probably deteriorate. Anyways, our plans are still on GO. I'll keep in touch if you guys are still interested.
Kevin, I'll be in touch again about Waumbek on the date we talked about. I'll have a chance to get on-line at my bro's place, likely mid-week, and update you with a time we'll be headin out. Look foward to seein ya.
I'm kicking myself for not taking the opportunity to photograph you guys all loaded down with gear and tools. Next time! I haven't posted to the forums yet, I just finished, but trip report here:
Kevin, thanks for the heads up on the blazing in that area. We definitely found the section you mentioned and will get it addressed before winter. With winter in mind we did some high brushing to keep the branches out of the faces (as much as reasonable) of our winter brethren. Will be in touch about the end of the month. Thanks again!
You sir have it backward! I'm like Bob Saget - I get the cheap laughs with minimal staying power. Your reports, both photos and text, are of much better quality and leave a lasting impression.
Sounds good! I'm also considering an Ossipee hike or two after calendar winter - I'll post details if/when. One would be a shorter/tamer one, the other would be something longer/more challenging.
