Way to go, Tony. You earned every one of those miles to the finish. You still had enough gas in your tank to be sure to get a good stride and pose for the photographers at the end -- and that's all that counts! ;)

Hey, listen, after less than a year living back in NYC, I can tell you that a sense of crowds is all relative. I would long to have to negotiate around a "crowd" of 10 or 20 people on an open mountain trail _ rather than bump, dodge and maneuver around thousands on a nasty, gum-piss-beer-vomit...

Your trail name says it all: "wowser"!

I'd be interested in either Hunter, Slide or Peekamoose/Table on Saturday. I'm tentatively planning on Sunday heading over to the Gunks and do a trail run at the base of the climbing walls in the preserve.

An amazing testament to what the human mind and willpower can do _ especially in the company of great friends! Nice pix and TR, MadTownie...

Nurse Ratched, perhaps??? ;) This week will probably be a telling one for how much it messes up his marathon. Luckily, his is a week later than mine, and he's run a marathon before, so hopefully those two factors will help to avoid derailing his training. Now, if I had done that, David, I...

I'll do some typing for the currently injured AMSTony ... His first entry would have been September 2005. He and SteveHiker went up, then called me from the summit while I was en route back from working in New Orleans post-Katrina. A second entry would have been in July 2006, when he and I and...

OK, I'll keep this brief since it's a non-trip, non-report... AMSTony and I had planned to hit Welch-Dickey yesterday, which would've been my first hike since New Year's Day, and I believe only his sixth this year. Well, best laid plans... I drove up on Saturday, and we agreed to meet to get...

Phew! That spares me the awful fate of having to wear that Red Sox shirt! ;) Have fun on the ridge...

On this hike, there's very little alone time no matter when you start! ;)

Would you show up if I did??? :D

Welch-Dickey--all invited! (within limits, natch) ;) OK, believe it or not but this will be my first hike since New Year's Day! A move to the big city and training for road races will do that, I guess. :eek: AMSTony and I will be heading to Welch-Dickey this upcoming Sunday over the Labor Day...

Thanks for the heads up, Jay. Where do I sign up? This just might end up being my first hike of the season ... which season, I won't say! :eek:

If I remember correctly, isn't that a man-made lake _ there used to be a town there and they flooded it out or somesuch? I might be confusing it with some other similar looking place though. Thanks for the heads up, Arm!

Nice shots, FunkyFreddy. Especially diggin' the hat in #68! Looks like you and Gail had perfect weather!

Good luck in the last legs of your journey! Continue to keep us posted!

Mongoose: I'm so happy to hear that you're looking to make some changes in your life to allow you more time to head into the mountains. I know how important that is for you _ and always wondered if you still were getting out there but simply weren't posting trip reports. Your photographs capture...

Holy cannoli! You went on a hike and it didn't rain? You actually got a view?? Yikes! What is this world coming to? Nice to see you getting out. Trip reports like this make me miss New England. I do get to Central Park for my training runs to tackle the "hills" there, but it sure ain't like...

Chip: Quinoa ROCKS! It has more protein than any other grain. I also find it incredibly versatile in terms of how you can use it in recipes. I'd consider adding raisins or other "gorp-style" products. But you can also use it plain, or with some veggies. Enjoy!

What is it about hiking Sandwich Dome that seems to bring out the worst weather, right Sapblatt??? Glad to see you taggin' another one, AMSTony!
