I’ve posted some pictures from the day. BIGEarl's Pictures Straight to the slideshow :)

Hey Chris, Anything I said would be a guess; I don't have a handheld weather meter. It wouldn't surprise me if the forecast conditions were reasonably accurate. The National Weather Service predicted high temperature in the teens and wind of 30 mph, increasing late in the day. We were gone...

I’ve posted some pictures from the day. BIGEarl's Pictures Straight to the slideshow :cool: Yeah, we noticed that after doing the bypass. Sometimes I miss important things. I must have missed your report. Thanks.

Outstanding! We have a good group coming together on this one - it should be a fun day. See you at the trail head.

After tonight I will be without Internet access. If anybody is interested in joining the hike, please feel free to just show up at the Stony Brook trail head on Route 16. We'll plan on gathering there at ~8:00am or soon after and have an on-trail target of 8:30am.

Great news! We're planning on reaching the trailhead ~8:00am with an on-trail target of 8:30am, or earlier. It will be good to get together with you again.

Pete and gram - Thanks, your positive comments are very much appreciated. :)

A small project I’ve been working on for the past few days is done. A while back, when Webshots announced they were shutting down, I stopped posting additional pictures there and started looking for a replacement. I made a decision and have finished the migration. Everything that was posted on...

Thanks Pete, Everything that was posted on Webshots is now re-posted on SmugMug, plus the albums that were only posted on Facebook after the closure announcement. The galleries (aka albums by other sites) do not yet include captions but I hope to add them over time, starting with the most...

Is anybody familiar with EXP Adventures? Evidently they are an adventure travel agency located somewhere in New York. Their website includes no specific details concerning their actual location that I could find. This link goes to a description of a trip to the White Mountains they are...

I have tentatively decided on Smugmug for my photo sharing site. The slideshow for this hike is located here. Please let me know if there is a problem accessing these images, or if you have any other comments relating to these photos. :)

Hmmm... Sue is never "off her game". ;) The snow was way too dry to do anything with it. It was real fluffy stuff that wouldn't stick together at all. Sorry. I plan to get an account on a real photo sharing site soon. I realize Facebook is a very poor solution. According to the information...

I’ve posted some pictures from the day. Straight to the album on Facebook :)

December 1, 2012: Adams & Madison Trails: Valley Way, Gulfside Trail, Air Line Trail, Osgood Trail Summits: Adams, Madison Hikers: Trail Trotter (Sue) and me It was another early start for a Saturday of hiking. I had an early start planned for Sunday and needed an early finish for the...

Bryan, Thanks. Right now getting through this area is fun in a “Jungle Gym” kind of way. I tend to agree with you and your concern after a few feet of snow accumulation. The stuff that’s overhead right now will no longer be overhead. Hopefully you’re right concerning the short bypass at the...

Kevin, Thanks - No harm done. The most important point here is the trip to Isolation is still a fun one. Right now there is more entertainment than usual. Getting through the area of blow-downs isn't torture - it's fun (if you approach it that way). I am a little concerned about how this will...
