Fantastic! I can't wait to see you both as it's been a LONG time. We plan on taking Falling Waters up and heading down OBP. We can definitely wait for you if you're running late - just text to let me know. :)

Thank you to all for the kind words! :) The forecast is looking decent tomorrow so the hike is on! Toby, Tuck and I will plan on being at OBP/Falling Waters a little before 9 (if I can wake up at a decent hour, that is). Looking forward to a fun hike!

When? Saturday July 9 (with bad weather date of Sunday July 10), 9:00am Where? Lafayette and Lincoln (OBP/Falling Waters trailhead) Occasion? Toby the trail dog's NH 48 finish! On 9/12/2010, my dog Toby embarked on his 4,000 footer journey with a hike up Waumbek: I can't believe that less...

Thanks, Skip! I hope to see you and Liz soon. If you are around in late July/early August and interested in joining me and Toby on his 48 finish, we'd love to have you accompany us. He only has 7 to go... :)

Super nice day!!! Thanks a ton for the greenie :D

Thanks, Trish! A huge congrats to Sage on her first 10 miler, too. It's been so much fun to follow along with her, Alex's, and Max's peakbagging endeavors... :)

Thanks for the greenie! It was such a beautiful day to be out... :)

Nahhh... I'll never be a fast one. I just pace myself well and I never, ever give up! ;) Thanks for the greenie. I hope you try a Pemi Loop soon because I know you can do it.

Thanks, Sabrina! I can't wait to hear how your Pemi adventure goes... :D

Thanks, Tim! In my opinion, if you can hike a Presi Traverse then you can definitely hike a Pemi Loop. Pemi Loop = Presi Traverse + a few miles of flat tacked on each end... ;). Go for it! Thanks, Becca! I usually average around 2 to 2.5mph when just hiking. When trail running in the Whites...

Thanks, Sabrina! :) Having done the loop in both directions, I'd say that clockwise is probably the easier of the two. Since you're hitting the highest peaks first, almost all of the significant climbs are easier in the clockwise direction with the exception of South Twin, but once you're over...

This past Sunday Sasquatch and I ran our first Pemi Loop of 2011. The conditions were just about as perfect as they come - dry trails (including the infamously wet and aggravating GRT), cool temperatures, breezy ridgetops, and brilliantly blue skies. Having run 50 miles in the 6 days prior to...

I know! I would love to hike with you and the girls soon... :). I'm sure Toby would love to meet Max, too.

There are a few good threads on the subject here and here. All three of the peaks you mentioned are great rainy day hikes. In fact, most of the 4k peaks are! The only thing you really need to look out for are the water crossings if 2+ inches of rain is expected over the course of the day... ;)

Glad to be of help! Most of the roads open in mid-late May, so you should be able to get the hike in within a few weeks :cool:

Chocorua via Piper will be snow free within a week I'd say. The few short stretches of trail with snow are short easily barebooted at this point.

I think there's a difference between the XF and the AT? http://sportiva.com/frixion/index.php Can't wait to hear more about the shoes once you test them out on the trail. A girl can never have enough trail shoes... :D

Another vote for the Raptor. I believe the Raptors are the only trail shoe that La Sportiva makes with their FriXion XF rubber. I've been wearing them on and off for a few months and they are EXTREMELY grippy on wet, slabby rock. I'd say it is about as good as Inov-8's sticky rubber compound...

I did 103.7 miles on the Arc Trainer.
