Ed, We visited the plane wreck last week. Coming from the tower going towards Gunstock, the herd path is only 25 to 50 yards on your right. I think I recall seeing a blue ribbon near the entrance. The climb down to the wreck is short but steep.

Wonderful pictures Kevin!

After enjoying the views from the Piper summit. We checked with the sign and noticed the finger pointing towards the trail that would lead us back to the carriage road. We walked the whole perimeter or the western part of the summit and could only find the trail blazed in green. After only a...

Thanks for letting my wife and I into your firetower on Sunday. I wish I knew you were a VFTT member I would have said something. The plane wreck was easy to find. We had a nice hike, but found the trail from Piper to the carriage road impossible to find.

Franconia Ridge is on my to do list. If you want to give it a go let me know.

Wow Sabrina, You go from almost no hiking all winter to a Bonds traverse, I'm impressed!

We just finished the Belknap Range yesterday. We did it in two hikes. It really has alot to offer. I would have to say buying the map at the library is important. At times the trails become very hard to follow. The blazes change colors at will. The trails sometimes are not well marked and become...

Nice trip report and pictures Earl. Sue must be slipping, only one trip up the chimney!

With all the chatter about the Belknap Range lately and wanting a spring hike James and I decided to see what this range was all about. We were not dissappointed. We started our hike at the popular Mt. Major trailhead. Most of the hikers were taking the trails on the right. We decided to take...

James and I will be there.

I'd be open for a Saturday hike, but after running the Boston Marathon I don't know if I could keep up with you!

The boots I purchased and have not yet used are Zamberlan Vioz GT. They are advertized as full grain leather.

Thanks all for responding. The info received on this site is far superior to that supplied at the REI Store.

Does the fact that these boots have goretex have any influence as to which product I use?

I had one attached to my back last week after hiking locally at the Ward Reservation. This warm weahter should bring them out in force.

I just purchased a pair of all leather hiking boots. What's the best product for treating the leather?

Thanks Donna. Finishing the list was only a small part of the reward. Getting Liz back healthy and hiking is the true prize.

Thanks Trish, Hope to see you at the awards dinner.

Thanks Dr. D. We both agreed to climb Moriah again soon. We really enjoyed it. We might try a loop with Stoney Brook and the Carter Moriah Trails. Thanks Earl, You and Sue played a big part in our reaching our goal.

A great choice for a return to hiking. Welcome back.
