Awesome TR Dave Bear. I hope to run into you and Kim in the woods sometime soon. Sounds like she is quite a hiker - you should consider doing the Bonds with her this summer - if she isn't hooked now, she will be after standing on West Bond!!!

I've been slowly recovering from bronchitis and was only able to do small stuff up until last weekend. Guess I haven't missed much since the weather has been so lousy this summer. Will you be at bearly live next weekend? We plan on being there Saturday night.

We noticed the exact same thing yesterday. According to the GPS - the 4.5 miles marked on the sign is correct. The section of trail that seems to be incorrectly labeled on the map is the 1.6 miles from the junction with the Mt. Coe trail to the col between the Brothers - that should be...

Several months ago, 7summits (HuiYeng) had read about the Katahdin summit sign replacement on the MATC website and asked if I’d be interested. She contacted, Lester, who was heading up the effort and signed us up. In addition to helping with the sign replacement, we decided that we wanted to...

Yeah...thanks Giggy!!! I'd definitely be up for that...keep me posted and I'll keep my vacation time available. A few people have offered to show me the glacier stuff so I should be up to speed by then. We can talk at sherps...we'll definitely be there for Saturday night.

I'm glad that the sun finally showed it's face for you on Monday. Persistence pays off and it certainly did in your case. You definitely made the best of a dismal weekend...weatherwise. Despite the weather and feeling like crap all weekend - I still had fun hanging out with everyone. I can't...

7summits (HuiYeng) and I had been planning a 4 day peakpagging weekend in the Rangeley-Stratton area of Maine for the July 4th weekend since wintertime. We managed to recruit Juniper (Rebecca), Fat Tuesday (Mardi) and Nif (Jen) to join us. Our plan fell to pieces when two weekends of hiking in...

I think it's actually the first time we've ever hiked together. Partied together several times but never hiked. Looking forward to the next big event and hopefully more UFG stories :D!!!

It was a fun day indeed. The climb up Plateau was my breaking point. I hadn't been feeling well all day and the relentless climb up to Plateau did me in. I took my time...not by choice and found the group perched on an outlook. I told them to go ahead without me...I was going to head back to...

Darn...I was going to secretly work on this list because I thought it was an original idea...guess I was wrong :rolleyes:

The Crew: HuiYeng (7summits), Rebecca (Juniper), Jen (Nif), Mardi (Fat Tuesday) and Gillian The Plan: Meet at the Piper TH at 10:30 The weather forecast was calling for rain in the late afternoon. On the drive up to the trailhead, the summit was hidden in the clouds. We didn’t think that...

Nope...no snow on the AT to East Baldpate. The only place we encountered any snow was within a mile of Old Speck summit but that was easily avoided.

Looks like you had pretty good weather for a Vermont peakbagging trip with Garry. All pleasant hikes with good views. I'll have to check out your pictures later...I'm sure they're awesome as usual. Glad to hear the knee is recovering.

How'd you do in the marathon?

The only section that was truly awful (at least for me) was the section between Puzzle Mountain and Town Corner Campsite. The trail after Town Corner was worth the trip - there were a few nice pools that would be great for a dip once the water is warmer. Lightning Ledge is fairly remote and...

The plan – hike the Grafton Loop (now known as Moose Poop Loop) counterclockwise in three days starting at the Grafton Notch A.T. parking lot. We planned on meeting Ferrisjrf (Jason) and Unfrozencaveman (Steve) on the summit of Old Speck after their completion of the Mahoosucs traverse. The...

Grafton Notch to Old Speck - the trail is fairly dry with only a few short patches of snow. Old Speck to Sunday River Whitecap - dry with the exception of one boggy area about .5 miles past the Old Speck summit. This section of trail doesn't look like it's travelled very often. Sunday River...

I'm sure it'll be kick ass but I know for sure it will be an ass kicker.

Good luck this weekend!!! Did your blisters heal yet?

Not sure when I'll be back in the Whites...maybe two weekends from now. Heading to Maine this weekend.
