Pics Alright, Larisa, ya pulled through. Nice shots (no pun intended);). Just as I remember it.

Well done! Congratulations on #24. Terrific report. I could almost feel the wind as I read it.

Willey next year You're on, Brian. I'll even tolerate the nose:)

Close Call Sounds like quite the adventure with the skiers. Hope Emma wasn't overly spooked by the encounter. But she's a tough one!

Last week, I opined here that I do not possess the soul of a solo hiker. Those words troubled me as I wrote them, and I pondered them through the week. If I rule out solo hikes, I limit myself to hikes within my capabilities, where I can recruit or glom myself on to other hikers, where I’m not...

Although I had originally toyed with the idea of a solo hike of Cannon this past Saturday, I noticed an open call for a trail clean up day at Wachusett posted by Kevinmac late Friday afternoon. I very easily talked myself out of the Cannon thing (I simply do not possess the soul of a solo...

Congratulations!!!! What a combination of determination, grit, stamina, and stregnth! Throw in a killer smile and a goofy sense of humor, and you've got Larisa. Congratulations on an truly stunning achievement.

Great gags as usual, Rocket. Nice to see you could fill out your weekend, even under adversity. DaveBear, was that you coming off East Osceola at about 2 in the afternoon? I was up there with BobC, bobandgeri, et al, and I do believe we encountered your bear-like form at the tail end of our...

This I do not doubt. With an arm in a sling you could out-hike half of us out here. Certainly me. Godspeed on your return to the trails.

Hancock or Waterloo? So, now that I am ambulatory again, and can almost comfortably lift my arms to reach the keyboard, I can reflect a bit on how perhaps, just perhaps, I bit off a little more than I could chew with this Hancock adventure. Sure it all looked good on paper. Super experienced...

So, I've got these snowshoes, see, and I want to use them. And then the Southern Ossipee thing went bust, and Owl's Head is just nuts, and I've just GOT to get out of this house. So the idea is to get to Waterville Valley reasonably early on Sunday morning, like, say, 8:00 a.m. or so, and...

I'm proud to say that as a child I saw the original Misty, before she was stuffed :eek:

una_dogger, The pony is one of dozens of wild ones encountered by my wife, daughter and me on the ranges around Mt Rogers in Virginia this October. I understand that the VA Parks Dep't rounds up several every year and auctions them off to control the population (and raise money for charity)...

That was Mt Mansfield this past September. Rather than helicopter, we took the Hell Brook Trail up to the Long Trail. Quite the strenuous climb! Thanks all for your kind comments.

Are you challenging me?

Tell me you have ever bought a drink and not been carded. Go ahead. Lie.

Southern Ossipee Traverse - One final perspective? First, some background. I’m a neophyte hiker/climber who has only recently been bitten by the bug. In retrospect, I have owned some form of hiking boot or shoe continuously since the age of 17, have had a copy of The Complete Walker in my...
