ha! I dream big. good luck with the drive up for sunday- looks dicey.

I wish I could join you all tomorrow but still need to fix my toilet (etc.)!!!

For some reason, Davis Path traverse is #1 Presi traverse Presis via Great Gulf Twins-Bonds traverse Baldfaces and Mahoosucs Bigelows Sleep at Chimney Pond, get Hamlin Peak and maybe other NEHHs in Baxter chip away at W48s (maybe get halfway?) Canoe trip on the Allagash or Moosehead lake One...

I vaguely remember a "K" too. Hmm... I'll add my coin. As Tom said, the Notch was blustery, cloudy and cold, and that ominous winter weather low level fear stuck with me for a while though the forecast was excellent. Clouds were moving fast and exposing clear blue sky as we hiked, and still...

Larisa, you are legit!

Glad you see you are getting some hikes in between skiing, MJ and Flave La Fave! Hope to get out there with you soon. it's the inverse for me.

yes, that's me! it would be great to have you on the trip. love it when I don't have to screen! we have a solid little group so far. send me an email so I have your contact info and I'll send you additional details as they come. hope you can make it.

We were a group of five traveling together in two cars, encountering snafus along the way and on the trail... we hoped to catch up but it wasn't in the stars. We thought about continuing along the ridge after but I was afraid the winds would be as intense as they were en route to Lafayette...

Bob- yep, Alkes was on that Isolation hike! I asked if he'd met you and he said that he met at least three nice folks named Bob that day. Hope 09 is treating you well thus far!

excellent! we just did lafayette, in order to be back to boston early in the evening. I cannot believe how many peaks you have gotten since 12/21!! congrats!

Rick! Sounds like a "foiled again!" outing, but makes for a great story for your cocktail party repertoire...

My favorite thing about this post is that you describe it as if it was a leisurely stroll, Larisa! Um, you did a 23 mile hike in the company of UFC- that must require sufficient intestinal fortitude! (How are your folks liking your new found love of winter hiking, btw?) Congrats on an amazing...

Jan 1, 2009 - Cold, sunny, calm - Stream crossings high - Cold - Trail well broken The idea had been to bellow out a loud “HAPPY NEW YEAR” from a grand, above treeline peak such as Lafayette, and several folks were on board with the idea until the reality of the forecast set in. After some...

I'd like to try lafayette on new year's day- you in?

Wow, thank you for posting. Windblown is one of my favorite places and I was planning a big outing there for a weekend in January. Perhaps I will be volunteering at that time instead.

gooly, you're nice all of a sudden! I like the electronic version of you way better!

I've done Macchu Picchu, several Rockies trips, Grand Canyon down and back, and New Zealand and oddly enough... my favorite "epic" backpack was through the Needles in Canyonlands, UT. The landscape, the solitude, the stillness, the stars, the open sky. (Also, I had a fantastic time with the...

will do. you should stop by the burren tonight (see beer night thread) and meet folks. bring your wife too. I'll be there around 9:15 or so. and I hear you about life getting in the way of other pursuits!

looks like the drive up could be icy tomorrow... not that I'm trying to sway you or anything : )

haha, thanks! but "I will become famous soon enough". that's not good enough for you?
