    Waumbek Can Wait. November 11, 2010

    Those kids have more common sense than most of the grown up's I know. It's all about the journey not the check mark on a list. Well done!

    Secondary access to Boundary Peak

    I made an attempt at hiking Boundary (Panther) peak this Sunday from the Canadian side and was turned around at the ZEC Gosford gatehouse because it was prime hunting season and they didn't want a hiker on the boundary swatch. I didn't want to create an international incident (or come home...

    Best route for Breadloaf/Wilson

    I took the Skyline to the LT in November 2009 hiking Breadloaf and Wilson then back.. Conditions were wet and muddy with limited views but I found the Skyline trail interesting as the scenery changed through the hardwood forest, to birches to firs as elevation increased. The short side trip to...

    East Kennebago via typical whack route

    Date of Hike: 12/June/2010 Trail Conditions: Trails, what trails. Followed the recommended route parked at ~2400 Ft elevation and followed jeep trail to boundary markers. Hundreds of downed trees all over the ridge and I quickly lost any trace of a faint herd path. Headed up, up then more up...

    Snow - Chain of Ponds via jeep trail

    Date of Hike: 12/June/2010 Trail Conditions: Extremely muddy from trail head to pond. Several large downed trees that needed to be walked around. Upper section from pond to summit contained several downed trees, wet sections and over-growth. (I'm not complaining) Special Equipment Required...

    "Leave the Snow Shoes in the Car"???

    Hiking would be much easier if the forest service added up and down escalators to each of the summits. I'd also like a free snack bar at each of the summits serving refreshments. Oh, and electrical outlets so I can blow dry my hair.. Rediculous!

    Pitcher Mtn (2153 Ft)

    Pitcher Mountain is a close to home gem location that I visit every couple months and enjoy the experience more and more with each visit. Today's hike wasn't about the summit firetower or sweeping panoramic views but about getting my two toddlers (3 years, and 18 months) on an outdoor...

    A site called signal map allows you to search a zip code and see which provider has the best reception (if any). Results appear to be based on user input. Take it FWIW. HockeyPuck / Trevor

    Trail Conditions: Road to ravine lodge was hard packed snow. One blowdown with a 3 fut cut out section on the road. Gorge Brook also hard packed, barebooted to ~3700 Ft where I switched to 6 point crampons. Trail was a mixture of hard pack and drifting snow. Summit ridge is solid blue ice...

    Flume the long way via Old Bridle Path / Osseo - 2/6/10

    Ascended Old Bridle Path and easily barebooted the hard packed trail. Put on snowshoes for the steep section and wore them the last 0.5 miles to Greenleaf. They were overkill, I would recommend microspikes. Switched to 6 point crampons at the hut. The ascent up Lafayette was solid rime ice...
