John and June, In answer to your question, I don't think it could be any better. What an amazing day you had. Thanks for sharing your amazing photos. Hope our paths cross again soon. Best regards, Marty

Completely agree. It's interesting that Sawyer River Road wasn't on their December 9 closure list.:confused:

Here is a road closure list as of December 9: http://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/whitemountain/alerts-notices/?aid=31904 Found this in the Alerts and Warnings section on the WMNF home page: http://www.fs.usda.gov/whitemountain Marty

I did all the hikes that Wardsgirl did in Joshua Tree and they are all very nice. There are lots of cool places to just stop along the way when driving around, too. If you are staying in or near Palm Springs, I also highly recommend the Indian Canyons, just south of downtown Palm Springs. It...

I met Mike (MtnPa) and Mtnmama at a VFTT Boston beer night 11 years ago and ran into him on the trails from time to time after that. I always enjoyed running into him. Always thought he was a great guy. Mike was part of the SAR team that brought my best friend off Peak Above The Nubble...

Thanks for the heads-up. There is definitely a lot of logging activity around the Bemis Track. Not sure if they are logging up high as well. May have to go up a nearby logging road and check that out in the near future. Anyone traveling on the Bemis Track (aka, Bemis Road) from Houghton to...

Congrats to you, Bill. Amazing accomplishment. Glad I was able to join you on a few. Hope our paths cross soon. Best regards, Marty

Another vote for a Nalgene with hot water and a koozie. I usually put in water that is not quite at the the boiling point, to ensure that the Nalgene is not disfigured. Never had a freeze-up, even on long and cold hikes. Marty

28 inches in Boxford, MA Marty

Great shot John! I had the pleasure of hiking with Jeb on some of his grid hikes and some that will be part of his second grid. Jeb is one awesome dude :D:D Congrats to you, Jeb. Wish I could have been with there for the big finale. Marty

Sue, Congratulations from the land of the GAC'rs:D Best regards, Marty

Great list Greg, For Baldpate, please add that there are multiple ladders east of the Baldpate main peak. Not sure of the number, though. Thanks, Marty

Hi Greg, For Maine, add the AT between Grafton Notch and East B Hill Road going up and over the Baldpate peaks. There are ladders on both sides of the main summit. Regards, Marty

Hey Earl, It was an amazing hike and trip. I had a great time each and every day with a great group of guys, including you. It is hard to beat Katahdin and Hamlin on a perfect day :cool::D. That was my first time on the Baxter Peak Cut-off Trail. It was awesome scooting across the Table...

You probably won't need long pants to N. Brother if it is dry, as the branches are mostly balsam. We stayed in shorts to the summit. We weren't cut, but we were totally soaked. Switched to rain pants on the summit because it was cool and windy. Kept them on to a bit below the upper Mt. Coe...

Hiked to North Brother on Monday: 1. When I did Fort several years ago, I followed a few cairns going down off the summit of North Brother and then to the left, which took me to where the Fort herd path begins. I did see a few of those cairns on Monday, but was unable to determine if all were...
