A very plucky 60 year old! Next time a backup light source.

Here's a link to the Bandit's website where you can access free downloads of his maps.

Bandit's map is still the best reference for area trails as it covers routes on both public and private lands. In my experience trails are accurately located on Gaia GPS and usually well maintained and blazed. All trailheads are accessible, some with minor restrictions. For example, parking...

Castle in the Clouds does provide a restaurant and a bar and its a cool place for a post-hike hydration session. If you use FB search for "Ossipee Range Hikers" page. Lots of trip reports and trail beta you will find useful as you explore the area. There are patches and certificates for...

Hey Sierra, ever done Kearsarge South? Like Monadnock another nice open summit in the "Earlier Spring" zone.

Any reports on condition of the Zealand road? Is the paved section open to the campgrounds?

Good for you!! Sounded like a nice hike in "spring" conditions. (a little bit of everything!) Is the fire tower open?

Here is a link to the latest NH Chapter newsletter. Interesting articles, very nice artwork and fun reading about some White Mountain place names.

The Wapack is worth the trip. But tuff to solo with that car spot! If you do it in the next few weeks before leaf out, bring sunscreen. I got fried in May on that walk!

Sounds like gas for sure. And do buy that shirt. I can't tell you how many time I did not and regretted it when I got home!

All that you touch And all that you see All that you taste All you feel And all that you loved And all that you hate All you distrust All you save And all that you give And all that you deal And all that you buy Beg, borrow, or steal And all you create And all you destroy And all that you do...

Hey Ken, welcome. My wife and I were really impressed with the trail system on Mohegan. Beautiful vistas, well laid out and clearly marked. We red-lined it over a four day stay on the island. (Another plus is the on-island micro brewery.) Otherwise I have one word for you... "Baxter." No...

Great photo!

There is a lean-too on the edge of Nesowadnehunk field that faces Doubletop and has its back to the open field. It's one of my faves. Good access to the steam, lake, and hiking trails for Coe, Brothers, Fort etc. There is also a hidden spring at Nesowadnehunk that provides sub-surface fresh...

Hey Seth, great video as usual. Thanks. OK to abuse that knee pre-procedure, but I urge you to go very easy on it post-procedure. Even with artho it can take months to get back to full strength. During that rehab it is prone to overuse injury. I had a "buff and Flush" of a knee and four...

All the sweat and drudgery of trail breaking and not even credit for a Winter ascent. Go figure....

Was a serious car crash on 16 in Rochester due to a squall.

Not sure if you've done the Ossipee 10 or Belknap 12, but they provide a fun distraction from way up North in the early Spring. They are also becoming the sensible hiker's Grid challenge! People!!

Any idea where in the ravine this occurred? Was it in Lobster Claw gully or another chute? Or on the head wall?

I assume you are aware of the travel advisories for Bolivia.... but just in case here's a link. Two regions seem particularly hot.
