For the month of August, I decided to spice up the regular NH48 and include the additional 24 Trailwrights' peaks. Further--because I like numbers and am weird--I climbed them all as "6-packs" in 12 separate days. Some of these combos were pretty straight forward and made sense--Carters...

So... I'm signing the register on NW Hancock yesterday and saw your name in there, what? FIVE times?! :D Neat that you are having so much fun exploring in there. I, too, really enjoy your reports!

Try the BSP link Tim posted. We just got very, very lucky and scored 3 nights at a Daicey Pond cabin for next month! Shooting for my husband's 67 finish. :) Excited to return to the park--last visit was in 2004. Because of the long drive, it's a good idea to give yourself a couple days'...

From the FKT site, http://fastestknowntime.proboards.com/thread/19/read-first (A&A, you have been leaving out the 's' on proboards so the link is not working)... Unsupported means you have no external support of any kind. Typically, this means that you must carry all your supplies right from...

1. Footing on Lend-A-Hand can be a bit wet, but there are plenty of rocks and bog bridging so your feet should stay dry, especially this dry summer. The trail is very well travelled and passes through some ledgy areas with nice views toward SW Hale, a NH 100 highest peak. 2. Firewardens Trail...

Thank you. It was an interesting way of climbing the 48 for sure. :)

It happened to a runner friend, while he was taking the drug. A few years ago I tripped and fell while trail running, split my knee open and needed stitches. The doctor prescribed cipro prophylactically. Remembering my friend, I requested an alternative antibiotic. Good luck

From July 4-17 I finally got around to completing my version of the Direttissima, climbing all the NH 4000 footers in a continuous line. Following Rev. Henry T. Folsom's lead, I tackled the Direttissima as a series of dayhikes carrying a light pack. I hiked 10 days and took 4 days off. For...

WRT clogged waterbars... I would no sooner walk past a clogged waterbar without clearing the jam than I would a piece of litter without picking it up (except for TP!) and carrying it out. An exception would be if I am doing a very long hike and want to conserve energy. Note that unclogging a...

My mom got bit/stung by an Assasin bug while raking leaves. It was a bit painful and got infected. She had to go to the doctor's and take a course of antibiotics. :(

This reminds me of the Forrest Fenn treasure hunt: http://www.npr.org/2016/03/13/469852983/seeking-adventure-and-gold-crack-this-poem-and-head-outdoors No one's found it yet!

Yes, the whole road (Tripoli). Asphalt was a bit bumpy on the Waterville Valley end!

Tripoli Road is open! (as of today).

Thankfully, East Burke still has Kingdom Trails, best mountain bike network in the US according to Bike mag! www.kingdomtrails.org

Met this feller back in March and mentioned it in on NETC, as have one or two others: "Between South and Middle Carter I came upon a very territorial male (w/red "eyebrow") spruce grouse making strange guttural churring sounds. I stopped to pull out my phone in order to get a video, and he...

Not exactly. Mats went back and found a better route, one that I have navigated twice, once in the winter and once in the fall. Beginning near the Flume-Liberty col, head ENE staying well below the ridge that runs E off Liberty. The woods weren't too scrappy. When I did it on the autumn...

...But, if you go off the beaten trail, there IS enough snow to posthole! Had to abort an ambitious Lafayette-Flume-Owls Head adventure on Saturday because I'd decided not to schlep snowshoes for the "Roing Route" bushwhack. Bad idea. Temps warmed enough that beautiful sunny day that I was...

The OBP/FWT parking lot falls within the auspices of Franconia Notch State Park and not USFS, no? Sierra, I would never ignore you. :)

A fine use for Garfield's old firetower foundation. I wanna hike with you guys. :D Congrats to Bob!
