Not in NH, but its kind of a cool one. Old Stone Church in West Boylston, MA. On the banks of the Wachusett Reservoir which flooded the former town. Located at the intersection of 140/12 and 110. Wiki West Boylston Historical Society

And the new service looks like crap, IMO. Although admittedly, I haven't spent a whole lot of time on it. But, first impressions were bad. Are they not sorted by album anymore like Webshots on the "Smile?" All I'm lookin at is a long stream of pictures. Anyone else play around with this thing?

I came out of the woods yesterday at the Peabody Brook TH to my bike stashed in the woods, rode it back to Austin Brook TH. First time through there. I can't think of a scenario where I would park on the neighbors lawn if the limited parking available (maybe 2 cars) was taken.

Ahh, I was wondering when the Groton project would make it's way to the VFTT board. Even locally around the Plymouth area, it seemed to have slipped beneath the radar with all the Northern Pass uproar. I had been watching it's developments for months online, nobody was talking about it until...

Another vote for Stairs. Sunset over the Southern Presidentials is fantastic. From the main ledge 20 feet from your tent, great spot. I found water in the Stairs/Resolution col near the Stairs col trail junction. Although, it had rained recently and was filtering out of a slow moving...

Platforms only, at elevation in the Whites at sites like Liberty, Garfield, Guyot, The Perch, etc. That is, unless you get bumped to an "overflow" area at a time when all platforms are taken. Sites like those are purposely built onto the side of a mountain, as to limit options outside of the...

Recent thread over at Whiteblaze.net that may provide some food-for-thought. In addition to Tarptent, two other ultralight tent companies mentioned were Six Moon Designs and Lightheart. One guy mentioned he is a big dude, like yourself, and he uses the Lightheart SoLong 6. When looking through...

Glen Plake was involved and gives his short account http://www.planetski.eu/news/4204

Thanks for the positive comments. Same here with the awesome/knee pounding thing. Turned out that was the only thing that really ached on me the next day. Muscles were fine, knees so-so. In fact, the day after my traverse I waited til late in the day and hiked into Sawyer Pond via the Kanc to...

Thanks! It was a great one. As the spasms were going on I was thinking salt tabs. Not sure, but I think the Nuun takes care of both? Thanks, Earl! You're right, so many places to get caught up without even trying. It helped to keep moving having already seen all the views many times, I guess...

My, my, MY. Heroic, indeed! Kudos to all involved. Was thinking that yesterday was not the day to be out anywhere. Gloomy, raining hard, and the worst was to come overnight if anything were to go wrong.

Prolouge: Finally decided to "get to it" and do the traverse, I'd had it on my mind for months since the spring time. It was an itch I needed to scratch. But first, a couple training hikes to gauge speed and proper nutrition over long days. I was already hiking a couple/few times a week so I had...

Update Appears he will give up the dog. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/17/man-says-he-got-death-thr_0_n_1890758.html

Stayed at Sawyer Pond this past Saturday night, came in the 4.5mi from the Kanc side. The road being closed didn't stop the place from being full, as every tentsite was taken and the shelter full. Nice afternoon and night out, although it's unfortunate the abuse the place has taken (lots of live...

Congratulations, impressive run!

Great peaks, but the Baldfaces are in NH. :o I'd have to put in a vote for Saddleback/Horn and/or Abraham, although I don't know if I could knock out any of your top five.

Assuming the trail still follows the same route, you can get a look at it on the interwebs via the older topos on Acme Mapper. Sure makes a good loop outta Russell Pond to Hamlin Peak. Mileage using it and the NW Basin trail around 14, maybe?

Madison from Adams, 9/1/12.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll be picking one of these up sooner than later.

Good couple of days right there!
