Yes- I contacted you before- Donna, right? You hiked with Straight Talk when you were pregnant... that was my year- '95.

Happily played 2nd fiddle yesterday while Peter A broke out entire trail to summit. Very pretty meandering path down low before most of ascent kicking in the last 1+ mile up. Open woods everywhere. Several water crossings, all of which held up fine. Extraordinary views east from clearing...

Great track from Smuggler's Notch to ~3100 (Thanks Fed Ex and others). From there to Taft Lodge and beyond, deeper drifts filled in track. Lost the route at around 3900' but was able to bushwack through knee- high snow to the cliffs of the Chin, where track was again ascertained on the wind...

I also loved Lansing's Endurance and Millard's River of Doubt. One of my all time favorites: Gary Paulson's Winterdance about his dream, training and racing in the Iditarod. I never laughed so hard over any adventure book, yet it's poignant, funny and inspiring. I've read it three times but...

Dr. Wu- Please tell MEB Happy Birthday for me! I met MEB, Suebiscuit, Donna and several others when I joined their group led by Arm to BSP in March 2007. She is so much fun and a very strong hiker. I am going to visit my family in Syracuse that weekend or I would love to join you all. Thanks...

Congratulations, Sabrina! Absolutely awesome!

Dr. Wu! I don't think anyone has asked me to be their friend in about 45 years!!! I am not very saavy with computers but I'd be honored to say yes, whatever it means out there. Hope to see you out in the wild again sometime!

Hats off to all of them. What a Team!

The conditions would have to have been brutal to keep this "rock star" team from the summit. It's amazing how quickly they got in position, too. I've been checking with Arm's mother at the YMCA every day for any extra news. It's been such a thrill for all of us to watch the progress of this...

Way to go, Dr. Wu! Any snow up there? Probably not as much as on Bickford and Scarface, huh? Great job putting out the fire.

Good job, Ashfordite! I believe I met you both as I was descending below Lake Arnold after coming from Skylight and Gray. (don't tell Pin Pin Jr. I wasn't wearing snow shoes!) Congratulations! LL

I want to be a Mean Girl next year!!! Great job to all of you and this has to be the meanest and most creative Trip report in a long time! Bravo! Lucky Laura :D

115 Congratulations Rejean and Oncoman! That is a terrific accomplishment. What will be next?!

Having seen no posts to Sewards for weeks, I had resigned myself that finishing the Winter 46 would have to wait till next year. Still, the last weekend of winter beckoned and I had a lovely visit to Skylight and Gray Saturday in wicked wet weather via Lake Arnold. After changing into dry...

Congratulations and bravo, Alain! You're a living legend whose footprints give inspiration to many of us. -Lucky Laura

Triathlon in Baxter... Congratulations, Phil, Kurt, Mark and other climber! Great job and so glad you had good weather for your climb. I wish I could have been there but maybe our group will get lucky this weekend or next. Great report! Lucky Laura

Great report, Paul. Sounds like some good trail magic, too! But how did you get even with Fran?

The herd path to Macomb is in great shape, thanks to Phil and his two companions a week ago and also a few people who rebroke the trail on Saturday. I left the parking lot Sunday, 2/24, at a late 8am under painfully brilliant blue skies and warm temperatures. Herd path is obvious just before...

Neil- great photo. Thanks for sharing. Yes- we went up the slide to the left. My trepidation climbing straight up the center was evidenced by my unusual silence! And Paul, I went up Macomb yesterday wearing just a t-shirt. I was glad for the opportunity to enjoy a climb in spring like...

Was thrilled to get an email from the swimming rabbit, Peter A., on Wednesday morning expressing an interest in joining me for a hike up the South Fork route to East Dix/Grace Peak, South Dix, (and possibly Macomb). I confess feeling intimidated to solo hiking to the trailless peaks. Met Peter...
