    Stanton, Pickering and Cave Mountain: Things to look for!

    Hey Karl, just a heads up... The terrain around Cave Mountain has been heavily logged and the trail obscured. When Rob and I were in the area last month we encountered a red liner who could not find the trail for the life of him! If you do venture up there, please be sure to post some pictures...

    Ha! You know, you're right... I can't even sit still for an hour at work without taking a break to walk up and down the hall ;). Thanks for the greenie. I hope to get out and visit the oh-so-wonderful Osseo trail in the near future.

    Why thank you! What a kind compliment, especially coming from such a talent photographer as yourself. I wish I'd taken more pictures, as there is nothing like being above treeline for sunrise...

    White Mountain Hut Traverse in 12 Pictures - August 6, 2011

    Thank you to all of you for the kind words and congratulations! As Cath mentioned, this hike has been almost 2 years in the planning for us. After having to put it off on more than one occasion due to time constraints and injuries, we were both thrilled to have the opportunity to give it a...

    White Mountain Hut Traverse in 12 Pictures - August 6, 2011

    This past weekend I had the pleasure of hiking my first White Mountain Hut Traverse with a very good friend. Although unpleasantly humid out for most of the day, we were blessed with excellent conditions underfoot and made our goal of completing the hike in under 24 hours. A huge thank you to...

    Owl's Head

    The only thing the bushwhack saves is two miles of distance. Unless one hikes exceptionally slowly on flat, easy trail (aka. Wilderness, Franconia Brook and Lincoln Brook) to the point where his/her speed is comparable with bushwhacking pace, it will not save you time. Just be sure to follow...

    Hey Paradox! Toby is usually pretty good at sticking with me (especially if we're trail running), but he does wander on occasion. Interestingly, when he does wander it is usually towards other people (he is EXTREMELY social), and not animal scents. That said, he does also seem to stay more off...

    100-Mile Ideal Time

    What the heck are you talking about? I've heard that's impossible.

    Owl's Head

    Definitely stick to the trails, as they are a LOT faster at this time of year. I only bother with the bushwhack in winter. The crossings have never been an issue for me as I simply walk right through the water in my trail runners. The side trail up to the slide is very obvious. There's a big...

    Anyone know of ONE shoe that hikes, mountain bikes and gets wet???

    The La Sportiva Raptor is a great shoe - stable, AWESOME in the Presis (good rock plate), excellent outsole for traction on wet rock (comparable to inov8 sticky rubber which is unsurpassed for wet rock traction), and well-built. I'm not sure how they would be for biking, but they are pretty...
