    Dog on Caps Ridge

    Tucker (my Aussie, 45-50lbs) also had no issues on Caps, although there was one spot where he needed to get his courage up and made a couple runs at it. We went up Caps to Jefferson, over Clay, down Jewell and then Boundary and Jefferson Notch road walk. His pads were fine but we were both a...

    Found: Human waste on Valley Way, Lower Bruin 4/3

    Human and dog feces, vomit (oatmeal), in the middle of both trails, mostly between Lower and Upper Bruin, and in the lower Bruin junction itself. Be aware if hiking with a dog or if butt sliding or sledding. Get real people.

    Rangers taking pictures of plates?

    He was taking pictures of the side of a Mini Cooper when I walked past. I thought this was odd. Plates maybe, but the side? It was not parked abnormally, I didn't see any damage, and the car was still there when I returned in the early afternoon.

    Flume Via Osseo 1/24

    Trail Conditions: Lincoln Woods was hard packed and icy. Osseo was choppy for a few at the bottom, but smoothed out nicely until the ladders. Hard packed snowshoe track until here. Ladders are covered with hard pack and some powder with steps kicked in. Spikes worked fine. Drifting above on the...

    Tripyramids, Livermore, Scaur Ridge, Tripyramid Loop - 12/27

    Date of Hike:12/27/14 Trail Conditions: Just about everything you can think of at one point or another. Mostly crusty, unsupportive, unbroken snow though. Special Equipment Required: Snow shoes, micros and tried crampons on the slide. Could have changed gear often so I opted to suck it up as...

    Columbia....customer support

    I had a similar pair of North Face boots with the exact same failure in the same spots. Similar age and useage, so I expected nothing. They were also discontinued, and I got a $50 gift card which was way more than I expected. As my wife always tells me, it doesn't hurt to ask.

    Hitchin' a ride...Rocky Branch (16) to Pinkham 9/13?

    Just throwing this out there. Wondering if anyone would be driving this way in the mid/late afternoon this coming Saturday? I will have a medium sized Australian Shepherd with me (45 lbs). Back of a truck works just fine. Planning to hike Isolation via Glen Boulder and would like to cruise out...

    Carrigain via Carrigain Notch, Desolation, Signal Ridge 8/15/14

    Trails were what I call damp. Not nearly as wet as I expected with all the rain, but not dry either. My feet stayed dry all day. Some mud here and there but nothing that wasn't easily side stepped. The Carrigain Brook crossing took some thought and care (and maybe some luck), but I again kept my...

    Washington-Monroe 4/4/14. Up Ammo down Jewel

    Trail Conditions: Ammo was hard, flat and fast. Some ice but not what I expected. I wore crampons expecting ice, but microspikes would have been fine. Monroe loop is a mixture of ice, snow and rocks. Crawford to summit much the same with only occasional snowfields left. Most rocks are still...

    Snow machines in Moosilauke?!?

    I hiked Carriage Rd. top to bottom on Saturday (3/29) and there was in fact a fairly fresh snowmobile track all the way to very near the top. Maybe a few tenths at best. Over scrub and rock. There was a US Forrest Ranger parked near the end of the lot when I returned at 1:00pm, and after taking...

    Moosilauke via Carriage Rd 3/29

    Date of Hike: 3/29/14 Trail Conditions: I was psyched to see snowmobile tracks hoping to bare boot, but unfortunately it was still knee deep mashed potatoes, so snowshoes it was. Even more unfortunate some moron rode their snowmobile all the way to the actual summit. Trail to the south peak is...

    2013 In Review: Peak-Bragging!

    No bragging this year. Managed one measly winter 4k (Waumbek in Jan with Yogi) and a handful of NH100's. Between starting a new job and moving back to NH, and flying off to Hawaii to get married time was scarce. Losing Yogi in May really hit us hard. Tuckerman arrived in June though, aka the "I...
