Bobby, Tony, and Alpinista - it was great hiking with you guys! We were a little surprised at all the snow, especially at such low elevations, but it was a beautiful sight! Bobby, congrats on #19! sal

Hi Alpinista - Geneva and I have the same hike planned for Saturday, so I'm sure we'll be running into you at some point! We had entertained thoughts about going up the North Slide, but with all the rain today, we weren't sure how slick it would be tomorrow. We figured we could always come...

Great trip report! It was good to run into you on the ridge. The clouds had lifted off the summit of Lafayette when we reached it, but boy was it windy and cold! sal

Ivy - Great trip report and pictures! It is always a pleasure to hike with you, good to hike with Amicus again, and nice to meet and hike with Oncoman. My first bushwhack was such a fun time, and all of you experienced hikers were wonderfully helpful and encouraging to me, I can't wait to do...

Great trip report, King Tut! Although the weather never cleared, it was a great hike with lots of points of interest - plane wreck, lodges & shelters, single chair, ladders, cave that only Ivy explored! . So good to meet and hike with you, King Tut and Lawn Sale, and always a pleasure to hike...

Hi BIGearl, Are you still planning to hike Maine this weekend (May 19 - 21)? If so, maybe I could tag along on your Saturday trip? Unfortunately, that is the only day I can hike. sal

Hi BIGEarl, I, too, am looking to do some VT and ME hiking this year, probably weekends. Unfortunately, between long work weeks and the chaos that comes from being part of a large, close knit family, I usually cannot comit to a hike until days before. But I do read the "trips and events" forum...

Amy, Great trip report! It was great to hike with you and Steve again, and to meet so many new, fantastic, hiking folks (MaryEllen, Rachel, Mike, Amy, and Amy)! Thanks for a great day (wish I had had more steam to accompany you and Amy to the Mooseland!). sal

You too, Ivy! sal

Hi MEB, If it is not too late, I'd like to join your hike to the Week's on Saturday. Has the meeting place and route changed or will it be 8am at the fish hatchery and take the York Pond Trail out and back? sal

White Mountain Hotel Chip, If you want something on the North Conway side, try the White Mountain Hotel, off Westside Road (not cheap). It reminds me of a scaled down version of the Mt. Washington Hotel. The food is great (especially the friday night seafood buffet and breakfasts!) and the...

Hi Mayflower! Let me know when you are doing Cabot, I'd like to join you on the Unknown Pond Trail! I agree about using care to pick up 110 in Berlin, the first time I did Cabot I missed it and went up to Milan (110 A & B are nice,but made for a late start hiking!)! sal

HikerBob - Saturday will be a fine day to celebrate with you! Geneva and I plan to join you on the summit, not yet sure what route we are taking, but we will be there. Our last hike with you seems like an eternity ago - Isolation with you, Karen, and Ivy. As I recall, we were chased out of...

Toe Cozy - I tried to hook up with you and Meri at the trailhead, but we got there just after you had left (maybe we hit our snooze bar!). We went the same route up to the summit of Adams. Cool trip up the ravine, I had been a little apprehensive after reading the trail description, but just...

Hi WildPeaks - Looks good for tomorrow. So, see you at the Sandwich Mtn Trail parking lot at 9? sal

Hi WildPeaks - Are you still planning on hiking Sandwich tomorrow? I may have the day off from work (not definite yet) and would really like to get out for a hike. What trail(s)/start time were you planning? sal

Wow, last weekend was fantastic to be outside! Headed to Vt for my first hike in that state. Got a late start - left MA at 6am (and still had to honor the promise of a stop at a sugar house for breakfast!). While waiting for our pancakes (blackberry with real maple syrup - YUM!!!), I looked...

Thanks for the help everyone! We will be sure to wave in your direction too, Ivy, and looking at the Dr.'s snow map, the shoes may stay strapped to our packs (unless they work in the mud :) ). WhiteMt, we, too were looking for a non-resort/non-B&B (they are great places to stay, but not for...

Hi folks - looking for some advise on hiking in Vermont this weekend. I checked out the GMC website for info, so I am aware that trails close from April 15 to Memorial Day. But when I checked out the VFFT VT Trail Conditions page, I noticed a note cautioning folks during mud season (which they...

docross and J&J - Sounds like you guys had a great time! I'm kicking myself that I didn't call when I first saw the hike (procrastinated and spooked by 'possible thunderstorms' in the weather forecast). I'll be braver next time! Thanks for posting about your trip! sal
