Engine Hill Bushwack Last July I did the Engine Hill Wack with Old Man. Ed had the Winter Route saved on his gps. I'm guessing we were around 3K. It was very pretty going thru the glades, but the ferns were chest high. It made for slow going. Foot placement was a bit of a problem as you...

Probably Cabot

hiking pants Take a look at Railriders. They make a very tough hiking pant.

Saw a VFTT sticker on the back of a Hundai Elantra today around noon on 114 in North Andover.

pink peeps Too funny John. Liz and I ran into the more common yellows on Mt Cube.

I've been removing them from my dog for a couple of weeks now. Removed one attached to my arm this A.M.

undercast Great shots, John!

Did the hike from the York Pond Trailhead. 2-3 inches of powder on top of hard pack down low. Maybe 4 inches on the ridge. Saw about 20 hikers today. Most seemed to come up the officially closed Mt Cabot Trailhead. All were in shoes. One very confused hiker even had a Giants hat on. We started...

Took the usual Mt. Tecumseh, Sosman route. First crossing is open but very easy. 2 stepovers that do not get in the way just before the gully at the second crossing. The second and larger crossing is well bridged. The ramp has some drifted powder. After the Sosman junction there is more...

Great sunset photos Earl!

Congrats Bob!

Way to go Becca!

ne 67 Congrats on your NE 67 finish! I wish your camera was working. When I was on Saddle back and Horn in August we were socked in. You always take great pics. Would have been nice to see what I missed.

Thanks everyone for all the input. It is frankly a bit overwelming. I think what I have taken from all this is to slow the process down a bit and do some more research. Not working in the medical profession makes it a bit tough to pick the right direction. Who knows, if surgery is the way to go...

I saw an Orthopedic today at the Lahey Clinic. He showed me the MRI and said it was a fairly sizable tear. He wants to trim it. The proceedure sounds like the menisectomy mentioned earlier. He also mentioned he couldn't guarentee all the pain would go away after the surgery. That took me back a bit.
