What a pleasurable day on Tecumseh, always one of my favorites. (For some odd reason, I never think of it as 'just Tecumseh' but as a lovely mountain with much character.) We had fine weather and it was great to see you, Mohamed. I am delighted to know I'm not the only one who utters four...

Ridgewalker, Very nice report. Some fine writing in there. And in many ways, just by reading it, I felt like I did go along with you guys. Well done.

Political unrest? She should have lived in Newburyport during the Undertoad years! Thanks for the comment on the avatar. You must be rubbing off on me. But if you were really a good friend, you would bake me a pie! (Funny, somewhere someone is singing "It's Raining Men!") Hallelujah! for...

No Jeremy, we haven't, but we will. Thanks. Also getting ready to check out some of the conservation lands at the foot of Chocurua, next to the lake. It's great to have so many smaller options for leg stretching before, halfway through or after writing.

Please tell Alex that she has wisdom beyond her years. Atticus and I would have been better off on more than one occasion if we avoided clouds that looked "very scary." Here's to eating chocolate instead of getting eaten by the "fog monsters".

The Lost Constitution If anyone is looking for a fun but good read where much of the action takes place in the White Mountains, check out William Martin's "The Lost Constitution." In his novel, Martin uses the Livermore site on Sawyer River Road as one of his settings going back in time. He...

Well done, Russ. And as always, well said!

Congrautalions! Congratulations Hui Yeng, from both of us, (including the one you refer to as the "Little Giant".)

Well Done Well done, Earl. After all these mountains and all these miles it's clear, you're becoming a writer. (Thomas Starr King would be proud of you!)

Well done, Jazzbo. The whole Moat ridge is now in my Top 10 for best views in the Whites and the more time I spend on them, the more I appreciate them. Glad you had a great day up there.

That was a good day, Earl. As for your last paragraph, I think you have it backwards. Just as you say maybe Atticus was keeping you warm in the second paragraph, I'd have to say that maybe Atticus handles me. I've always thought the best way to have a well-trained dog is to have a dog who is...

Hey Earl, I remember the first time you climbed Garfield in the winter. You sat inside the summit structure and had a lap dog sitting on your lap to keep him warm. As I posted earlier in the day, WRT out of Pinkham and up to Wildcat E is not for Atticus. But he's done the Cannon Balls and up...

One more Tim, congratulations. One to go! We've done the Wildcats several times but only once on that initial climb up from Pinkham Notch to Wildcat E was enough for me. It's one of the few trails Atticus needed help on and he needed help again and again. It was interesting to see him get...

The Ranger First: Congratulations to Jason and Rebecca! Onward, by all means. Second: I recognize that ranger as Garth Dickerman, Mike Dickerman's nephew. I ran into him on the Gale River Trail earlier this summer. For those who have yet to meet Ranger Dickerman, he's a class act and very...

Way to go, Earl and Sue! You sure are stringing some impressive mileage and peak totals this month. And from what I hear there are plenty more to come!

Lauky has grown! Ed, it was a pleasure to see you the other day. Thanks for stopping by. Lauky has really grown, even for a little dog. I look forward to watching you two progress together and hope he is as faithful and loyal to you as Duffy was. From the looks of things, it already appears...

Christine, With your posts, and with those that have followed, I feel as if we have been honored for the second time in 24 hours. Thank you. MSPCA Angell is a great organization. We became involved with them when Atticus went blind and blood tests pointed towards a thyroid problem. Because...

Geeze Tony, what a scare. Glad to hear you are fine.

Dear Emma Dear Emma, I am happy to know that you have found as much joy and achievement as you have in these mountains. However, I'm even happier that you have found two humans who look after you as well as Kevin and Judy do. Even on an 85 degree day, there are some who would have tried...

Misery Loves Company Quite a report, Kevin. Thank you for posting it as I didn't fare too well yesterday myself. I don't know North Dome and Sherrill as I've never been there but after our own experience in the heat and humidity yesterday I'm more likely to blame the weather than the...
