Hey John, now that's some nice signage! I remember when they blew the tower, there were many of us on Rt 2 watching in anticipation. I remember the tower kicked out its left legs (our right when viewing) when the charges went off. But I remember they blew it when I was a kid, 1982 I believe.

Right before you come to the beginning of the slide on the right hand side there is this nice, little "open" greenery area, pictured below. If you look carefully, you will seem my blue Osprey pack, just to the right of the last tree on the left of the frame. My pack is sitting at the entrance to...

This is an excellent suggestion if you only have one car, we just did it at the beginning of the month. Caution: I don't mind the Link at all, as a matter of fact the stretch between the Caps and Castle is probably the easiest going of its entire length. However, there is a lot of rotten root...

Thanks for the link. That was one of the most precision landslides I have ever seen, and you are right, good thing it did not spill over to the trailside.

For the brief time I lived in MA, we visited Purgatory quite often, I really enjoyed it very much, and my wife, who grew up in MA, was there more often than me. I would say this, there have been a lot of slips and slides there, quite a few injuries, which is the usual caveat for any outdoor...

Ha ha, good one! Well then, just don't plan for it and maybe it will happen! No, seriously, I hope you can make it. I am already trying to see how much champagne Forester Jake could carry, or at least some hard cider, there's a good place in Whitefield making a great batch I can usually get at...

hey raven! quick question, I noticed you are the Adopter for the Ammo trail. That slide that came down along the brook (left side as going up), was that this past winter, or two winters ago?

Thanks Donna! Yea, Michele only has 3 left, and none will be hampered by weather, Cabot, Moriah, and Garfield, she is all done with the "big" ones.

Lets hope we meet up during Oct. Michele's last peak will be Garfield and I plan on doing Historical Trek, soooooo.. be there or be 21st century!

Thanks skiguy, its my pleasure!

Thanks Sabrina, I truly appreciated your reply!

Thank you Maddy, I appreciate your words!

And when it came to swimming, "When the 7 is gone, the shorts go on."

Yes, glad you mentioned them, they have good pastrami grinders, which you can't get where we are now, they are just not part of the culture here. I just wish GH had fries also.

It was the summer of 1978. I can still see myself walking past the tall foxgloves my great uncle had planted at the southern end of the garden. Then past the strawberries he grew, protected by black mesh to keep the cedar waxwings away. Off across the northeastern corner of the garden, through...

That woman was lifted out on Saturday between 130-3pm. We watched from the top of Adams as the DART helicopter made his passes and then finally come in for the pickup.

That's him! Thanks MichaelJ, I really appreciate it!

Thanks vegematic, I had not done that hike in about 8-10 years, and if you have to do any section of the Link, that's the one!

I don't know how long this story will be because, like most people, I don't like admitting my own mistakes. I opted for the title above over the thought of "Self-Confessions of an Idiotic Big Mouth". Michele ( Klutzy Kat ) and I have returned for yet another week of tramping about our beloved...

Bottom of Caps they are doing bird research with catch and release, watch for netting, can't miss the old bamboo GS gates being used. Link has several roottraps, be careful. Castle and Caps trails in good shape
