If possible I might see if I can get a ride from LW up to Zealand parking. I hike with my Norwegian Elkhound Thor and am slow on the steeps so I would not be able to keep up for the traverse. I will have an abreviated tent/footprint and bag with me for a possible overnight if its necessary. May...

As a teen I did a plastic trash bag off the Headwall of Tuck's but life has a way of correcting some of that insanity!;)

Nice trip report and excellent photo show!

The first one may be silly but I love that second video! Made an attempt on Adams yesterday and was denied by whiteouts and wind on Gulfside and steeps on Star Lake I was uncomfortable taking Thor on. Sometimes the beauty of not having distant views gives you a better appreciation for what is...

Nice TR and Photos Chris! Great sharing the trail with you and sorry I was such an anchor out there. Wish I could have drank a bottle of what Thor was having because he has endless energy some days. I was running on three hours sleep or less, then three hours driving, all the hours hiking then...

Hi Sue and Lloyd, Congrats big time on that one! From what Al told me yesterday we skipped by you while you were out on the whack and just barely beat you out. At the bottom of South Twin we met two fellows headed up and did not discuss their plans so I did not know if they would be coming down...

Ian, I will be out that way with my sister in law to either out and back Twins or do the whole loop. We could help you with the car spot possibly but will be getting there near half hour later and I may run slow this weekend. 2010 corolla S and a silver chevy pickup. Chubby fellow with a gray...

She was actually surprised that I had two and spare batteries so I informed her it was not my first time out! Certs and gear list do make others aware that you have heard about how things are done but not necessarily put you in the realm of proficient. FG does its share of licensing and training...

Roadtripper, though I have a decent and interesting job, I find it difficult to transition back from a weekend hike let alone an extended thru-hike! My guess is you could put out a decent book with stunning photography of your experience to extend the leave from what folks deem "normal"!;)

The new "improved" version of the sign would break down all the "Do you have ..." items so you can be further regulated by folks that are likely not even avid hikers! Reminds me of when a young ranger first told me the Monadnock summit was closed as I stood looking at it from up on the ridge...

Congrats to you both and look forward to seeing the photos! Some of my very best shots in the Whites were from a mid-February hike up those two with Jefferson looking like an island from Adams that day. Just imagining how many rewarding sights the mountains have given you two in hiking 576...

I grew up farming and logging on property that also includes a sandpit, logging truck roads to yards and a sawmill we built and ran for a living for years. For many years this was not under land use. My parents paid full taxes on it and they are far from rich. Once the view tax hit them their...

Most often hike solo with my pup so the bladder/bottle police don't have any effect on what I carry! I find that I stay better hydrated and make better time using the bladder because I do not have to stop to drink and its very handy to me. I have learned independently many of the tricks Tramper...

Within the FAQs page on Mt Washingtons OBS site they say you can see Marcy and Whiteface when its clear. They also referenced the estimated limit around 130 miles as Driver8 had said. Nice TR and Photos Tim! You guys picked one beauty of a day to be on the ridge!

Sweet pic Marnof! Mine did not have any snow on it since it was not put up until Saturday evening out in Little River valley. Maybe next time if someone can schedule the event on a weeknight!;-) On a side note, has anyone else here woke up with their air mattress floating? Mis-appropriated...

My Arete ASL2 will be packed on my back or in use this weekend!;-)

I did a crazy whack off Franconia Ridge once to Owlie by only crossing the North fork of Liberty Brook and then the Lincoln Brook above its junction with Liberty Brook. It made for an interesting trip and I did it in order to determine its viability to avoid dangerous crossings down low as well...

Saw that one! Damn good and quite a variety of sports covered. Loved the line about the Japanese racetracks and the betting - no crowd cheer and said it was like watching 100,000 people on valium! Just shows how different sports are depending on location and perspective!

Kudos! Damn nice four cents!

My guess is to the Wilderness Boundary only and the horses would skid the hay to where ever they are setting up shelter. I would think they would short hitch all the hauls to just outside the boundary and pick the debris up in the summer with a pickup truck istead of making long hauls all the...
