Interesting idea. Despite the crowd, I would have to say the pillar at Bondcliff had a charged atmosphere as I stood on top. But maybe that was just adrenaline caused by my fear of blowing off in a gust of wind.

Now that triangle is really cool whether you believe in the power or not. I've soloed Adams 2x and both hikes were among the most rewarding of my White Mt forays. It was windy on top both times and I was alone on the summit for about 5 minutes on the second hike. That was special. Damn, I just...

They sure are pretty. Nice photo.

I'm sure you know not to miss The Outlook which is a really nice viewpoint. I saw very few hikers when I did this peak about 5 years ago. Ironically, I met a solo hiker (with his dog) on The Outlook who said he does this hike every year and that his father had been a member of the search party...

Maybe dropped by a helicopter? If it's the size of the one at Diana's Baths, I'd hate to have to lug that baby up the mountain. I'm calling in sick that day. :cool:

Got it. I did not see the faint gray line on the map that must be Rob Brook Rd. Thanks for posting the Livermore piece which was very interesting and rather well done by the students. Is Livermore easily accessible or is like a secret place in the woods?

It would be an honor to hike with you and Shay since I've read about your exploits for some time. My plans are still in flux, but I will probably be in NH in mid-August. If I can figure out how to message you directly thru this site, I will do so and keep you informed of my plans. Keep writing...

Well, you've never steered me wrong in the past. I think it was 5 years ago that you suggested the North Moat/Red Ridge loop hike that you recently repeated, and that turned out to be the signature hike of that year for me. I don't see how the Mt Tremont Trail connects to Bear Notch Rd though. I...

Tremont is actually one of a handful of 3K or higher trailed peaks in NH that I have not done. I really ought to make it my #1 priority hike on this year's trip.

I did a few group hikes back in the 70s and did not care for the experience. One that I did with a guide in Australia went off the rails pretty badly but had a happy outcome in the end. Some minor injuries (or inherent infirmities that surfaced during the hike), but everyone made it out alive...

Forgive my brain cramp, but I don't understand how the trailhead can be the highest point as stated on the sign. :unsure:

No one really knows where he went or where he ended up. If he got far enough off trail in some of the areas mentioned, he may never be found. Ironically, this might make him into a (tragic) White Mt legend.

Great story. You start together and you finish together, one way or another. I'm glad it had a happy ending and I hope the injury is not so severe as to take her off the trails for very long. You've got big shoulders, metaphorically and literally. Well done. With regard to frivolous...

I need an easy half day hike for my first day in NH (August) and Israel looks like a great option. It's on the 52wav list and it's one I haven't done before. It's also on the way to my (lodging) destination so I can do it as a side trip instead of backtracking later. I haven't hiked much in that...

Thanks for posting that video skiguy.

George Parker Woodland in Coventry. Nice hike with kids.

Thought you'd been kind of quiet. Get that knee taken care and you'll be good as new. Looking forward to more trip videos in the near future. I remember a bunch of cool walks in RI that might be good warmups when in recovery. It's been a long time, but I recall a walk in western RI with a series...

Yeah, that's a creepy place to have to shelter. More like a morgue. LOC was full one day back in 85 and we were showed the "overflow" shelter down below. It was summer and we opted to camp out in the open under the stars. Kudos to the Cog RR for stepping up and as always to the SAR crew for...

Any substantive reply to this post will likely result in the thread being shut down but suffice to say that one of the above does most of the obstructing even in the rare occurrences when folks from both sides try to get together to solve problems. It is only one party that routinely threatens...

The Christian holiday Candlemas and the secular celebration of Groundhog Day both have their origins in pagan Celtic traditions. The holiday of Imbolc marked the halfway point between the winter solstice (Yule) and the spring equinox (Ostara). One can see how the day might come to be known as...
