Joseph Gray won men’s race in 1:00:24 and Amber Ferreira won women’s race in 1:15:16. Photos look like finish was in rain and cloud, not unusual. So far 819 finishers at 11:45 am.

I arrived at Big Sandy Opening trailhead for lake sediment coring in Temple Lake valley and rock climbing in Cirque of the Towers in the southern Wind River Range of Wyoming soon after the Rainbow Family Gathering had pulled up stakes along the gravel road on USFS land in July 1984. It appeared...

I wondered who would post this one. 🙂 On a par with the plans to develop a ski area on the north side of the Bigelows. I think that both projects would have made the recent plans to develop the Balsams look quaint, but maybe Les should have hung around with the Red Sox.

Yes, I think that you have nailed it that two different levels of the AMC presence in the Whites is getting bashed. In my post #4, I took offense at posts #2 and #3 that were clearly directed at the Greenleaf croo for being insensitive in telling the rescued party that they had to clear out of...

……. which might have been a possibility for tonight until ……. 🙂

Sorry for my incorrect use of caps, skiguy (it was an autocorrect that I missed). But, you need to look up the definitions of the words “objective“ and “subjective,” skiguy. You and Sierra admit that your feelings about the AMC are opinions, which are subjective, not objective. Your and Sierra’s...

Would be nice to know who “the people” were that went up on the Ridge to bring down the rest of the family and their dog to Flea hut (Greenleaf) and who the “they” are that found the seemingly negligent family spots in the hut for the night? Perhaps the hut croo? When I worked on the croo at...

And time to get down before dark, and perfect if can get site at one of the Sugarloaf campgrounds.

Tom Rankin should get a cut of royalties, I think.

No black flies on the Ammi-Cog loop across da Wash summit on Tuesday afternoon, despite lack of wind, which was a welcome surprise to me.

Only saw a few other hikers on the Ammi-Cog loop over da Wash this afternoon, besides the LOC croo preparing to open the hut for this coming weekend. Still deep snow in places on the upper Ammi.

JNR gated at the southern end today also.

Really enjoyed viewing your photos, especially the eft, millipede, and copperhead. Many thanks for bringing back fine memories of my state high point / tri-point markers trip in early May 2001. Good time of year for waterfalls.

Excellent. There is a Mats Roing thread buried somewhere on this site about his several attempts and at least one completion of the 48 NH4s Direttissima, which also miserably fails Comici’s original concept.

Who said the following, and when, and where? “I wish some day to make a route and from the summit let fall my spit, and this is where my route will have gone.” Probably also the origin of the “direttissima” concept.

I think that Haystack Road is usually the last USFS road to open because it probably has a softer base than the others. I recall one time in mid-May we were completing a Bonds-Twins traverse before the road was open and it had very deep recent ruts in the soft sediment, presumably from a USFS...

Bear Notch Road open for my drive home to Thornton from Tuckerman Ravine on Monday May 22nd; saves about 5 miles vs driving “over the top” via Gorham.

And just when I thought that Rutland was improving its image with Mount Holly Brewery’s craft IPAs that I found at the Base Camp store when skiing Killington’s Superstar “Glacier” Trail / Quad Chairlift last Friday.

Hiked Langdon to Stanton loop first year of pandemic when I was trying to avoid the mobs on the NH4s. Spotted my bike at the Stanton end for ride back to Langdon end but if I do again will ride bike at beginning instead of end of day as the riding along Rte 302 is scary. Parking in the...

And now the ads are back after I thought that I had opted out. Grumble, grumble.
