L--very, very nice and loved the pics--the TR really gave a "feel" for your climb--you were indeed lucky on the weather; those storms (usually filled with hail, etc) seemed to sweep in there early afternoon almost every day thanks again jim

hi--can anyone help me out on possible dirt/logging road approach to McLean Mt south of St Francis, ME (west of Fort Kent)?--suggest bushwhack route to summit? thanks jim

superb intro to the Park and the Magic Mtn--it has sooo much more to offer when you return j

..two very different hikes, both fun... I spend an inordinate amount of time (waaaaay too much) planning these hikes to mostly sparsely visited, smallish peaks--chat/help from those who have gone before, locals (and occasionally no beta at all) - Acme mapper for ability to "toggle" between...

D--thanks on info--i'm amazed how quickly the land has reclaimed itself, i would have thought the cutting activity was at least 10 years ago--all those skidder roads leading from the log landings/slash piles on the SW are totally clogged with head high vegetation

...i thought they'd both be cake... Cedar (1953') lies north of Brownville Jct and just south of Jo-Mary Mtn. I access off Rt 11, through the Jo-Mary gate ($6 to NMW and worth every penny to me for their upkeep on roads, etc) and in about 11 miles on dirt roads. From sat pics, i had hoped to...

M--thanks for the links -i "whacked up from the WSW; was rocky/steep in spot, but easily doable with care--i think "cliffs" are more pronounced on SE side ( my mistake-corrected after Marty's next post) j

John Person-a modest man with serious NE hiking cred

..well Toto, we're not in Colorado anymore, these are peaks a bit smaller and there are no pics (the CO pics were my first attempt at posting pics, and probably only time i've carried a camera on my hikes in years)..anyway Today was a road trip, line up the peaks, logistics type excursion--out...

Green is the next peak down the range from S Boulder and Bear--was on my list if another 8+er was needed--my daughter enjoyed doing it last year

Leaf--saw it from several places--had no idea what it was called until hiking toward the Loch at crack of dawn and walked with a rock climber headed in to do some 5.7? stuff--pretty cool piece of rock from a distance

Next day, it was off to the town of Fairplay (middle of nowhere-see pic), up the Guenella Pass to 11K+ and then an attempt on Bierstadt--my first 14K peak. The hike was gorgeous and what i'd consider moderately strenuous except for the altitude which made it a different ballgame. Again good...

I was a bit reluctant to post this as it breaks no new ground and isn't epic like "58 14Ks in 58 days", but realized that i (and i hope others) enjoy reading TRs about hikes most of us could do...so... A few weeks ago i headed to Denver with hopes of exploring the area from a base at my...

small, pretty obscure peaks--had found no beta and was fortunate that logistics worked better than could be expected Guilford 1325' --near N Guilford (just a week ago, i was enjoying views at 14,200' and today i'm trying 1325' :) ) Access to Guilford is off Rt 150 just north of North...

hi Bill--enjoyed your TR on Sally--a few years back when i was really new at ME peaks, i hiked Sally w/o knowing the RR was still active (stupid, because when i looked at the rails, i could see they were not rusted)--just after i crossed the bridge ( thinking of Stand By Me the entire time), the...

i think you'll find that the architect of the "current design" PVC canister that's appearing on some peaks has now implemented a perpendicular screw set in the square on the cap to allow you to get the torque to open it--think can be seen in one pictured a previous post and sure, we'll talk...

:) late this month?, i think i'm headed way up for Debouille and McLean followed by Rocky Mtn and Hafey which are almost to Estcourt Station--this IS the end of the earth --will need another trip into NMW roads at Ashland for Peaked (the one in much further on Jack Mtn Rd than the Peaked...

another pre 4AM start, need sleep... McGaffey (1315') is near Mt Vernon (Belgrade Lakes)-It's a nice area, had never been and Mt Vernon is a pretty little place (sorry Oakfield). Approach is off Rt211 and dirt Camp Hill Rd. I had a jeep trail spotted (was it ever a tower peak??) from the sat...

PB--i will "need" to be up there a few more times for some "way the hell in" peaks (always enjoy adventures in The County and the helpful people ) so perhaps i'll squeeze in a few more oddball things like Pole Hill j

On the spur of the moment last night, i decided to head "north and east" to hike today to try to escape the clouds, possible showers than are dogging the area around Rumford that i planned on hiking Sam Drew 1518' (yeah, i think it's pretty obscure too, had never heard of it-getting to be SOP...
