Thanks, all of you.

Raven's mailbox is full... which I found out after writing this question:

Congrats Jeff.

Date of Hike: December 1, 2013 Trail Conditions: We decided to try our hand at crossing the river leaving from the Glen Ellis Falls parking area (gate locked, parked at the end of the drive) and that worked out nicely saving us a mile. The crossing had plenty of open water but wearing spikes we...

Date of Hike: November 26, 2013 Trail Conditions: We started with a good day-old dusting at the Stoney Brook trailhead and found 2-3 inches near the summit... about 2" on the ridge. The second crossing, unbridged, was a bit sketchy with some rocks showing ice under their snow coats, and while...

Date of Hike: November 20, 2013 Trail Conditions: Did this one solo (though with my girlfriend's dog). There are a few easy-over blowdowns -- trail work needed. The leaves are mostly tramped so the slickness is less so and hidden rocks/roots are not so much of a problem now. There is some ice...

I cleared the blowdowns reported above. Details.

Date of Hike: November 4, 2013 Trail Conditions: No summits, just a trail work trip. Lots of leaves on the trail down low making for slick footing. There was also a dusting of snow, becoming more pronounced as I gained elevation. The one crossing, if it qualifies, was easy. There was no ice on...

Date of Hike: November 2, 2013 Trail Conditions: Lots of leaves on the trail but unlike my last report, there was absolutely no trace of snow or ice. It's fall again. The trails were pretty wet and muddy, especially the Gale River Trail, most notably down low. The crossings were all simple and...

Date of Hike: October 29, 2013 Trails: Valley Way, Randolph Path, King Ravine Trail, Chemin des Dames, Gulfside Trail, and Airline Trail Trail Conditions: Leaves down low, snow up high, up to four inches or so in blown in areas between the scrub for example. The trails were in great shape...

Date of Hike: October 19, 2013 Trail Conditions: The crossings were simple, there were a couple of easy-over/under blowdowns (some work has been done since my last visit), and while there were some muddy trail sections, passage was easy. The trail is covered in leaves, the trees mostly bare...

Date of Hike: October 13, 2013 Trails: Great Gulf, Madison Gulf, Parapet, and Osgood Trails Trail Conditions: Crossings were easy all around, mud, where present, was minimal, and the trails were in great shape minus the slick leaves and some blowdowns. Now for some specifics: Great Gulf was...

Date of Hike: October 4, 2013 Trail Conditions: If not for rocks and bog bridges, the beginning would be a muddy mess, but thankfully those trail aids are present. The trail is in great shape otherwise, and it even improved as the day wore on! There was an AMC Special Trail Crew on-site...

Date of Hike: September 29, 2013 Trail Conditions: Great conditions, no blowdowns, easy crossings. The Ammo trail was pretty wet though. Otherwise... great time of year for our trails. Special Equipment Used: None. Comments: Hiked this one with Steff and we had an excellent day. Ran into an...

Date of Hike: September 21, 2013 Trail Conditions: The sole remaining crossing was easy and the trail was in great shape, minus one stretch down low that offered up tough get-arounds through boot-sucking mud. No blowdowns. Starting to see some leaves on the trail; might get slippery soon...

Sad indeed :(

Date of Hike: September 19, 2013 Trail Conditions: Went up Tuckerman Ravine Trail (TRT) to the Lion Head Trail (LHT) summer route junction then up LHT to the cone and back to TRT -- the loop was created on the way down as we descended via the ravine's TRT. There was minimal mud or wetness on...

Date of Hike: August 27, 2013 Trails: Valley Way, Brookside, Inlook, Kelton, Watson Path, and Osgood Trails Trail Conditions: There was one blowdown on Watson Path or Kelton if I recall and everything was otherwise fine. No significant mud (though Watson Path particularly was wet and steep)...

Date of Hike: August 25, 2013 Trails: Garfield Trail, Garfield Ridge Trail, Garfield Spur, East Garfield Bushwhack, Gale River Trail, Frost Trail, Twinway, North Twin Spur, North Twin Trail, North Twin Trail Bushwhack Trail Conditions: All crossings were very easy, and all trails in great...
