Come on now, aren't you going to do a single day winter Pemi with me this year??

Plus, if the roads are closed that usually means SNOW! :D

Wonderful to meet you out there, too! Thank you so much for all of your work on maintaining the Osseo trail. Since hiking it for the first time back in 2008 it's been one of my favorite trails in the Whites... and is always a welcome sight when finishing up a Pemi Loop. Hope to run into you...

WTF bring the unicorn back please. Hope to see you and Dwid this weekend.

The long-term weather forecast is looking decent so here's the plan... Peak: Moosilauke Start Time: 8:30am Trail: Benton Note: If the weather forecast suddenly deteriorates we will of course postpone the hike and/or switch peaks. Please let me know - either by responding to this thread or via...

Way to go, Rob. That's one heck of an accomplishment. You are truly inspirational... :)

Thanks! My little guy has only experienced a few stream crossings, all at very low levels. Fortunately, he's still small enough (21lbs) for me to carry if we encountered anything at all dangerous. Would Maggie be interested in joining our VFTT dog hike next weekend?? Please do consider it if...

The Nathan Race Vest is great. Super comfy and lightweight, with two big pockets on the front shoulder straps which could easily accomodate your keys and wallet. The one thing I'd recommend is swapping out the bladder itself with a 2L camelbak (if you have one). The bladder itself is okay, but...

I'm so glad Emma will be joining the dog hike! And her human friends too, of course... ;)

Thanks to all for the advice. Safety is super important to me! He's expressed interest in one of these these. I think he's just jealous of my Dirty Girls. Good idea. I might as well start to pack some extra weight to prepare for winter. Do you think people will laugh at me for carrying...

Does this mean I should change my plans to hike Owl's Head? :confused:

All of the 48 are snowshoeable in the right conditions. This past winter season I hiked all 48 and didn't use crampons once... :) I'd say all of the trails with nice grades make for great snowshoeing. Waumbek and Cabot are wonderful, as is/are Moosilauke, Pierce, Tecumseh, the Carters, and the...

I say you carry him. Dwid will love the Moose!

Ok! So the plan right now (pending decent weather of course) is to hike Moosilauke on Oct 9. I'd like to take either the Benton or Glencliff trail if that sounds good to eveyone. Let's work out the other logistics closer to the hike date... :) To those who can't make it - Toby and I are up...

Congratulations Sabrina and Michael! I'm so sorry I couldn't be there to celebrate your special day. The pictures are just wonderful... Wishing you both lots of happiness and hiking for many years to come :)

If there's a date that works better for everyone please let me know! I'm free every weekend of October except potentially 23-24 as I might be out in Colorado... :)

The 9th it is ;). It wouldn't be the 2nd annual VFTT dog hike without Terra!

Last year Una Dogger coordinated a fantastic dog hike to celebrate Terra's 48 finish. Now that I have a pup of my own who already has a few 4,000 footers under his belt, I'm hoping to organize a similar hike. Peak: Moosilauke Start Time: 8:30am Trail: Benton Hope to see you there!

...but I heard it's impossible to do a single day Pemi Loop or Presi Traverse in winter? :confused: These guys must be hardcore.

Pretty awesome loop that starts and finishes at Dolly Copp Campground. 9 4,000 footers, a little over 33 miles, and ~13,400 gain. Dolly Copp Campground --> Rt 16 --> Imp Trail --> North Carter Trail --> Carter-Moriah Trail up over Middle Carter, South Carter, Height, and Carter Dome -->...
