Congratulations Ryan, well done! And nice job by all who participated......

With only 2 hikes per month, I got in my best hiking shape by working up to 5 days per week on the incline trainer 60 minutes per session working up to about 20% incline with around 1400 feet of elevation gain (as per my machine). Wasn't concerned with speed. Doing this helped me overcome some...

Nice hiking with you Clarke and folks. How many days till summer? My pix.... http://tuco.smugmug.com/General-Hiking/The-Hancocks-January-9-1010/10907252_j3rER#761520538_nrh3b PS-- the hike was 1/9/10....

I will check for you tonight if you still need help. I think I have done that but can't focus while work buzzes around me!

Jazzbo- I've used Smugmug for a few years. Easy to use, good service, extras if you want, etc. You can write reports at the tops of your album and notes on each shot. Likely can do that elsewhere but I have ben happy with the site. I upgraded and can post videos into my albums. Good...

I have had a Kelty Redtail for a couple of years. I have been very happy with it from short day hikes to fully loaded Presi-Traverse in summer. http://www.campinggeardepot.com/store-products-22090035---22090038-Kelty-Redtail-1800-Backpack-(2009)_41603181.html

I believe there are very few people who really know all the facts- this person included. We can try and wonder based on what info is out there..... Link to article in which Jason Stock, head of the NH Timberland Owners Association, reportedly states that "When Garrison made the Ossipee maps...

I have tried a couple of years in a row to buy from an EMS on the list linked above and both times they didn't have any. It was just as easy to get it by mail this time, the turnaround is very quick.

Thanks for the comment. I have to admit I cheated; in the course of my work at times I need to look up company/charitable tax forms so I know the related sites that have it available. Hope it helps in some way- I imagine not though!

FORM 990 for AMC 2007 http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990_pdf_archive/046/046001677/046001677_200712_990.pdf

My 30's get used in the yard when we get a big snow.....IMO forget the charts and go smaller for White Mountain use....

Thanks for the square. We joked about snowshoes on the way up but were suprised to see snow as low as the Bondcliff JCT. Good base up high forming.

Date of Hike: 11/29/09 Trail Conditions: Lincoln/Wilderness trail were in decent shape, some soft wet areas and blowdown on the Wilderness trail. Bondcliff was wet down low, snow increasing as you go up. Lots of trees hanging over the trail with frozen snow and easily navigated blowdown...

This article, from July has quotes on the negligence. I am sure these have been seem before but a reminder. http://www.wickedlocal.com/plympton/news/x631635939/Eagle-Scout-fined-for-Mount-Washington-rescue In essence the negligence was from an agressive itinerary and straying from trails on...

If you come up that weekend let me know. Might be able to join you if the timing is right.

Good luck! I know how tough it is doing that from so far away. Also hope the forecasts get better for you. Not sure what youare hiking but it looks like rain.....

On trips longer than a day I will carry foil tuna pouches and pita and make it on the go. Can also carry foil mayo packs to add flavor.

And thanks to you. I reallyt preferred your shots- well except the ones I had to see myself in :)

I'd be curious to understand the process to fight this. Will a jury of peers make the judgement? Will it be a judge? Will any of these people be mountain folk or flatlanders who haven't ventured into the Mountains (or) woods? Would people be able to properly understand whats negligent of a...
