Excellent! Great shots of the fan. Glad you had a good day out.

Fantastic TR. Thanks for all the detail, and for posting the pictures and video. What an amazing journey. I'm sure I'll read your report over and over again when it's time for the girls and I to make our Whitney attempt (either next summer or the year after). Congratulations! You must feel...

Wonderful! Good luck to both of you!!! :)

Love the new greenie! lol

:) South Doublehead was an option when we began the hike, but the girls decided to go down Doublehead Ski Trail instead of down and up the col to hit the other peak. In other words, we didn't go to the other peak because the girls didn't feel like checking it out. I plan to visit it at some...

I wrapped those burgers in six plastic bags before putting them in my pack. :D That took care of the smell fairly well. Hope to see you and your little one some time...if you ever need babysitters up here, Alex and Sage would jump at the chance. :)

Thanks, Tim! It was a perfect day indeed -- couldn't have asked for better weather.

Go Lylah (and parents!!)! :D Love the foot shot! Nice butterfly photo too.

Jeff List, What an amazing trip. I'm simultaneously inspired and worn-out after reading about your adventures! Very glad the lack of waterproof shell never turned out to be that much of an issue. Congrats on an amazing couple of days!!

(Most of this entry was copied from my Summit Cheeseburger post.) All the pictures can be found here. Summit Cheeseburger's Mission: "To encourage, enable, and document the consumption of a Cheeseburger on every summit on earth." We've wanted to do a Summit Cheeseburger hike for some time...

Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures!

Thank you so much for this advice! I HATE auto roads that have steep drop-offs -- they scare the crap out of me. The warning is much appreciated.

Excellent! I look forward to reading your trip reports when you return. The girls and I are heading west in late August/early September to resume our highpointing quest. We're considering NV as one of our peaks. We did Humphreys Peak, AZ last year. It was our first high altitude hike and we...

I got my doc's all-clear to resume hiking as usual last Thursday, so on Sunday the girls and I decided to...well...resume hiking as usual. :D Our original plan was to ascend Boott Spur, but the girls changed their mind at the last minute and asked to hike up Washington. We decided to do both...

Bald Mountain on Artists Bluff Loop (Franconia Notch, across from Cannon, ski area parking lot). 0.4 miles from parking lot to summit, a tiny bit of ledge scrambling, excellent views of the Notch from the top. Blueberry bushes all over the summit. Lovely. One of our favorite mountains.

Excellent! Mountains can cure almost everything. :D

Bob, Thanks for posting this trip report and for including all those pictures! The girls and I will probably do this one before the summer is out; I appreciate knowing what to expect. I will make sure they stay far away from the edges! :eek: It's funny, we won't be able to give ourselves...

Congrats on your hike, Tomcat. We were on Washington today (went up Tuckerman Ravine Trail) and descended via Boott Spur. Wonder if you passed us. I know what you mean about the summit/trail zoo. I think we saw more people today than I've seen in our last three months of hiking altogether! :)

Exactly! ;) (And thanks)

Becca, hope the knee heals quickly! Kudos for getting out there. I'm convinced that whenever we're able (based on the doctor's advice), we should keep doing what we love. Beats sitting at home on the couch. I understand your comment about patience...I don't have much of it either when it...
