If you had gone clockwise, we would have crossed paths. I started around 1pm on Sunday and also went counterclockwise. What a beautiful day to be up there!!

The link is very outdated so I don't know what current prices are. http://www.maineroadhouse.com/shuttles.htm You can talk to Sue at the Maine Roadhouse/Stratton Motel. If she doesn't provide shuttle service anymore, I'd bet she knows someone who does.

Thanks for sharing...you've officially sparked my interest in UE again :D There's a certain beauty that can only be found in abandoned places...besides, the history behind them can also be intriguing.

Congratulations again to you and Laurie!!! We could see the clouds parting over North Brother as we headed to South Brother - hopefully you had great views and it wasn't too windy for your celebration. I'm glad that our paths crossed near the junction of the Mt Coe Trail...I was beginning to...

I personally liked doing it clockwise - you get all the hard sections out of the way in the first half of the loop. Once you get past South Twin, you're just on cruise control. Actually, what kept me going the entire loop was a catchy little jingle that someone got stuck in my head...what...

I third that suggestion. I did a one night backpack at e-rock many years ago. I haven't seen anything like it before. We did one cave, the entrance was marked and I was fortunate enough to not run into spiders. It was a tight squeeze in a couple of spots but you're not in there that long...

We heard about the bushwhack last winter and thought we'd give it a shot if we spotted the herd path. About 5 minutes down the bikepath from the Northbound Basin parking area, we spotted the it: The woods were open and it was very easy to follow. It came out at the hairpin turn. We liked this...

Thanks for letting me know that I'm not the only one feeling that way.

I'm glad to hear that you're hitting the trails again. It sounds like the Whites welcomed you back with open arms.

I use Engo patches in all my shoes and they keep my feet blister free. They're pricey but they last a long time. I tried duct tape but the edges tend to roll causing blisters...at least for me.

I don't know if I could do that one either Mark. My stomach was feeling a little queasy watching the video.

Awesome trip report Tim - it's great reference material!! I bet it took you as long to put the report together as it did for you to hike many of the peaks :)

Instead of purchasing a new pack, for the cost of shipping...you could send your Osprey in for repairs. http://www.ospreypacks.com/en/web/all_mighty_guarantee

IMO - day 2 of your plan is harder than day 3. The footing and all the PUD's on the Garfield Ridge Trail felt harder to me than going from Galehead to Lincoln Woods despite longer mileage. As others have mentioned, the climb from Galehead to South Twin is the hardest part of day 3.

The guys don't seem to get it...it must be a girl thing :)

LOL - you're absolutely right!!

Thanks for the personal comment ;)

Wow - you certainly had a busy week in the northeast!!! Great trip report - you hit a few places (Pyramid, Mahoosucs and Greylock) that have been on my to do list for a while. What's next on your list before starting your job?

I actually left the birthday part out when I sent the Crag Camp invite so the birthday celebration was a very nice surprise for me ;) It was a really fun weekend and we totally lucked out with the weather. The relaxed attitude towards hiking plans made it even better - the only goal being...

I haven't been to Baxter since 2009 and your gorgeous pictures made me realize how much I miss it. Thanks for sharing!!
