For some of us there will always be a list. ;)

Kevin & Doug, Thanks. I'm sure the place will get more time from me to do some exploring. Next time will be in better conditions, although the day we had was very enjoyable. Cumulus, The trouble I have with blueberries; once I start it's really hard to stop. Thanks for the warning. ;)

April 13, 2013: Welch – Dickey Loop Trails: Welch-Dickey Loop Trail Summits: Welch Mountain, Dickey Mountain Hikers: Trail Trotter (Sue) and me We had afternoon and evening plans but wanted to hike if possible. A short hike for the morning was all we had time for and the Welch-Dickey Loop...

April 1, 2013: Cannon Trails: Kinsman Ridge Trail Summits: Cannon Hikers: Trail Trotter (Sue) and me Our plan for the day included two hikes, Cannon and Jackson. We intended an early start on Cannon and then hike Jackson with a late morning start there. The timing for the day was pretty...

I’ve posted some pictures from the day. BIGEarl's Pictures Straight to the slideshow We started around 9:00am. Yeah, we broke out the connector from North Hancock to South Hancock, and then the steep descent. Thanks. It was slow going but we wanted to stay on-trail so we took our time and...

Hey Jazzbo, I'm planning to visit Carrigain tomorrow and can't hike on Sunday or Monday. That's too bad, I'd enjoy getting together with you this weekend. Enjoy your day off.

It's looking like a Carrigain day for Saturday. I don't know the details at this point but I'm sure our paths will cross. Looking forward to it as well. Remember to bring extra film for your camera - Carrigain views can cause a large number of pictures.

Dave, I've got a list of targets that I'm trying to focus on and I'll most likely be working lower elevations. Good luck to you and Thor on the finishes. Thanks Kevin - PM sent.

Thanks Keith, I hope to hike this weekend and prefer not to go solo. Consequently, I'm flexible. There is a list of preferred targets that I have for each month. And, I have an early wake-up on Sunday, which means I'll favor an earlier hike plan.

I’m working on my hike plans for Saturday, 3/16/2013. Is anybody interested in getting together for a hike on Saturday? Are there any planned hikes that I might be able to join? Respond here or send a PM.

Hey Petch, Thanks. One of these days it would sure be nice to get together for another hike. Thanks Chris. How does it feel? Like the day after Christmas. It’s done but all I want to do is get together with Sue and keep on going for more. Snowman count - I don't really know for sure. I'd...

Thanks Matt, I agree with you, it’s been a treat to bump into you at random places in the mountains. Hopefully we’ll actually hike together again soon. They’re not all crazy hikes. I’m still trying to figure out “next”. Nothing is easy. Thanks Mike. Thanks Pete, I’m really happy to hear the...

Thanks everybody for your positive comments. It’s been quite a trip. I think April is tough for a lot of people because of the wet conditions and end-of-winter monorail on many trails. The hiking is just not as pleasant in April as other times. We tried to always make the best of whatever we...
