------------------ ..surely you jest--have never golfed in my life :) and sailing isn't real high on my to-do list either ..my instinct not to mention my "vacation" from deep in the NMW type 'whacking on the Boards was undoubtedly correct...however...... "once again you stopped near the...

Hi Pierre--glad you found the "jar" on Jo-Mary--almost drove me over the edge and still didn't find it--i did however find the jar on #6 :) ------------------------------------- #6 from 6/25/09....... There's a great view ledge SE of the summit, but the top itself is in thick stuff. I was "sure"...

but maybe next time I need to check out the Traveler Loop... ...for sure.... jim

TR-you might try 1) Dog Mt-in the Gorge just on other side of river in Washington-superb condition trail-lots of bang for the buck-maybe 6-6.5 miles round trip and steady ups of 27-2900'?, but you can fly on trail--great views of Columbia River Gorge 2) Tom Dick and Harry-from Rt 26 near...

thanks for replies--i'm "in transit"--and my plans are just best guess w/o any experience there --been up to 9300 on Hood in shorts , sneakers, cotton "T" 3 years ago on spontaneous hike :)--no gear with me-tramping near guys in full glacier gear, weird---stupid, but i was careful with perfect...

I purchased a pair of BD Frontpoint gaiters in December 2009-didn't wear them until hikes in early May 2010. I like the fit and they performed exactly as i'd hoped in wet/snow/etc. However the boot lace hook "disappeared" from one gaiter on an early bushwhack and a piece of the leather strap...

hey--well, after some cool hikes in area of Rocky Mt Nt'l Park/Nederland, CO, i'm headed for OR on Wed and after a few days in Portland visiting daughter/son-in-law and tramping around Hood (no, not all the way up), i will be headed to Bend area for 5? days-i think i'll be centered/camping in...

T--thanks, very nice--takes me back--the view of Gothics from Pyramid was always one of my favs--almost like you could touch the slides jim

Getting a bit crazy to "do something", but nursing/rehabbing a sprained ankle from too ambitious 3Ks wanderings around the border swath 9 days ago (not wanting any more damage before my CO and OR trips) i was looking for some low hanging fruit today. I have 5 peaks left in the first 200 of the...

5 x 3ks NW of Stratton This hike was satisfying, but overly ambitious bordering on stupid and close to my limits. Thanks to DR and jt; they helped me get the logistics spot on which prevented a bad situation from becoming a real mess After visiting a daughter in G-burg, PA, we drove home 12...

Hi Roy--not sure if that's ME for "Maine" or "me", but in both cases-yes :) jim

long drive, modest hike :)--North from Orrington on RT 95, exit at miles 286, drive thru Smyrna and toward Masardis on Rts 212 and 11, turn before Masardis toward Oxbow and Reed-1885'--"Big Reed" was a total unknown {the Reed in Delorme is "Little Reed" near the 43 Mile Rd}, no beta, found...

hey-sorry---PMs sent jim

watched the Cs wilt in the fourth :( Thurs night, but kudos to them going way beyond expectations...picked 12 qts of first local strawberries this season Friday morning; very sweet, but small crop due to heavy frost after early blossom set....then it was off to Stratton/Rangeley area..leaving...

Bill--thanks for heads up on towers forgot to mention that while on top i saw what i suspect was the old fire warden's trail headed down on the Haynestown Rd side--absolutely covered in moose scat trees have grown high around tower--no views from ground level--could see wind turbines if you...

After watching the Cs self destruct last night (agonizing), i left to wing NW about 3AM (the sleep issue is becoming a problem :))--passed thru Skowhegan, up Rt 201 thru Bingham and the Forks,then turned in the Hardscrabble/Spencer Rd at Lake Parlin. The flow of log/chip trucks steaming south...

...after 10 days in the Azores, i was jet lagged and generally out of synch... figured i'd try an "easy" one...wrong again Big Boardman-2175'-North on Rt 95, off at Exit 199, thru Lagrange, Milo and Brownville to the Jo-Mary gate of KI land (similar to North Maine Woods land i often hike). I...

Hi Roy--always a possibility :), though i am getting a shade weary of oddball peaks right now; still 13 to go on my present quest----have seen 62-63? of this list from the top jim
