Cool. Yeah, I found that map but wasn't sure anything would be ok, given what the folks on the phone said. Thanks!

I am planning a trip to Mansfield Saturday and Killington Sunday. According to the GMC mud season is over and hiking is fine. However, the folks I spoke with thought the Killington ski trails would be too muddy to responsibly hike, but weren't really sure. I couldn't find any recent on-line...

I'm with Tim. Pit zips are a must for me in a hard shell. But I am fussy about layers and ventilation, preferring maximum choice. Some people seem much more comfortable than I am with minimal adjustments.

Wow! that's a lot of antlers! Are you by any chance willing to disclose the location? What a great incentive to get my daughter on the trails! Great pictures as always!

Yeah Nancy and Charlie! Congratulations!!!! What a great day and an excellent turn out to celebrate your finish! I was planning on joining, but had to get a friend to the hospital instead.

I just missed you guys! (Well, sort of). I had the same idea of a sunrise hike up Monadanock but a stomachache the night before kept me up too late for the planned 5:00 am start. So I staid "home" (in-laws farm in Fitzwilliam) for the Easter Bunny festivities and then escaped for a 9 am start. I...

Thanks Mark! And thanks for the greenie (just found it)! I look forward to meeting you at the ceremony and hopefully at Ashland Booze and Vittles (and on the trail) some day soon!

I'm interested.

Thanks for the recommendation. I just picked it up last night. In a similar vein, I enjoyed Jennifer Pharr Davis's Becoming Odyssa, mostly a coming-of-age story about her first AT completion and only a little about her record-breaking trip.

Thanks Silverefox and Summerset! Of course I remember our Flume hike together, Summerset! It was great! As for a spare set of clothes, I too carry a pair in a dry sack inside a trash-bag lined pack. And many others in this big group also had spares, so I don't think there was any real safety...

Thanks for the greenie Tim! And congratulations to you too, once again. I hope to run into you on the trail some day soon, and at the ceremony as well I hope! Thanks for all your work as the webmaster. What would we do without you???!!!

Thanks MTNRUNR! I love winter hiking and am already looking forward to next year (I like summer hiking too though!) You are right Ellen! Packing a change of clothes is a must in these conditions. It would have been a hike-ending incident without them. Mansfield/AKA Steve, you were the hero...

Yeah Trish!!!:D I'm planning to be there on the 3rd. What a few weeks this is for you! A book and a winter 48! Wow!

What a winter this has been! So many great hikes for me, and with such great weather for virtually all of them. My all-season finish on North Twin was no exception, with bright blue skies, temps in the high 30s and 40s, and a gentle breeze. Add in my first undercast, great views, a little...

Congratulations Carmen! What an amazing day! Some great shots; wasn't that undercast amazing? Twice blessed this week.

Congratulations Kevin! Your trip reports are the best around, both with the amazing photographs and the candidness and honesty of your prose. If only we could all be so brave. I hope you have a great hike to Adams and Madison this week to complete your quest. May the weather Gods smile on...

Sorry for taking so long to respond, but I had to run out of town. Yes, this was a great hike! Thank you Alan and Barbara for sharing this adventure with me. What a great day! :D Here are my pictures from the trip: https://picasaweb.google.com/phwilmot/BondsTraverse3101112# And my trip...

Hey John, great pictures as always! Love the blizzard in blue sky, really captures the feel of the moment. Not quite as nice as the day we were up there:) but with a bit more drama. I guess Congratulations are in order for your single season finish?! Well done! :D

Hi Ellen, just came across the greenie. Thank you so much! BobC told me how to reciprocate, which I had trouble figuring out how to do, so will do so soon. Happy trails!

A small group of us are doing the traverse N-S Sunday. Hopefully we will see you on the trail!
