Incredible dogs doing the incredible! Congrats to all! KDT

I've been in the volunteer program for 9 years now, spending a week or two on the summit with the crew. What got me started was a Christmas gift from my wife of an edu-trip, it was the start of a long love affair with the mountain. I have made many good friends over the years with both the...

Just Below the Summit Mount Martha (Cherry Mountain) 3573' 3.8 Miles 1900' Elevation gain Kevin, Judy and Emma Another short and sweet favorite we hadn't visited in a long time (7 years? Doesn't seem possible!) was Mount Martha, (Cherry Mountain). As we drove past Lincoln into the notch we...

Honorable Mention On Moosilauke I have been holding off on replying to this thread, hoping against hope that Emma would somehow be able to finish her W48, but it seems it is just not in the cards. When Judy and I first started hiking the 48 in winter we were not serious ourselves about...

This is a time lapse film of star photography from the summit of Mount Washington made by weather observer Ryan Knapp who works at the Mount Washington Observatory. Watch it on full screen 1080 if you can! http://youtu.be/QqinHUv_2bs KDT

Yes! Looping it that way is great, and no, BWing the switchbacks probably doesn't save a whole lot, but with the leaves gone it is very easy to spot a point of reference through the open woods, especially the blazes, so makes it a quite easy thing to do. Great filtered views to the lake on the...

Thank you all for the positive reinforcement! I expect to make a similar journey one day, not too soon, though! Thank you Creag for the gaelic toast! Much of the music I like is sung in Gaelic, though I admit I don't understand it, I find it soothing! KDT

Thanks H&P! And thank you for all your trail maintenance as well! KDT

Thanks guys, for the kind words! I truly believe these men, and men like them, were from "The Greatest Generation!" If anyone is interested there is quite a bit more to the story than the excerpts I have reprinted here. http://www.mountainwanderer.com/proddetail.php?prod=WMH85 KDT

CONTINUED: "Finally, a mile from the crash site, their efforts unexpectedly produced a distant shout. The plaintive cry of "Help! Help!" drifted down to them." "Due to the wind-whipped snow, however, their flashlights and oil lanterns lacked distance. Then, like ghostly apparitions, three...
