Has anyone been finding good trails for wild berries lately? The blueberries around my mailbox are ripe and unfortunately Geneva's mouth is closer to the ground, so she finds them and eats them before I can pick them. :( maybe she is part truffle hound? Or is she a blueberry hound? So...

After a late start heading out Geneva & I headed to the North Twin Trail to hit North and South Twin to get her closer to her 48. We made a stop in Holderness to get provisions for the day, and it took a LOT longer than expected, and then after heading up 93 the dark clouds appeared... I am...

Felt it in North Conway... :(

I have an older version of the Perception Carolina that Doug suggested. I have to say I love this boat! A year or so after getting it I added the Seal Line Smart Track rudder to it, and have been very happy I did. I like this one better than most rudder systems, because you only move your...

Nice TR and great pix! My buddy Nate hiked it Friday too, in the opposite direction. He reported the same things, great views, loads of black flies, and nearly had to bushwhack in spots trying to find the trail. He happens to be the 'candid' photo you took! The neatest thing about Diana's...

Sounds great Lloyd! LG4 must be getting pretty big now, he probably hikes faster than me! :rolleyes:

Geneva and I took a day off to take a nice walk in the woods to honor my sister Mary Lou. I lost her 15 years ago on June 15th to cancer at the young age of 31. I decided on North and South Twin because I like the North Twin Trail and Geneva had not been to South Twin yet. I did not really...

Geneva has been holding at 22 of the 48 for far too long, so I thought I would make yet another attempt to get her over to Osceola. We had a good late 'arm' start at 11:30, and made our way along the trail at a nice enjoyable pace. Not too many bugs, cooler temps and sunlight dappeling through...

Wow. That is just unimaginable... Why on earth did they loan her a tent and feed her? Sounds like there should have been an unfortunate assisted crevasse accident. Get her out of the gene pool...

Congratulations on getting it all done Mark! I know you earned Coe and South Brother!

I will toss in another vote for Penobscot and the Bubbles. And when you do the Bubbles, you get to do the 1/2 gravel 1/2 wicked fun boardwalk treck around Jordan Pond! Throw in a few really neat driftwood sculptures and the kids will be very entertained! ;)

Too funny! And well made. I will have to check out some of their other works, even though they do come with a 'warning'! :eek: Watched it with my friends kids, who are growing up in Conway, funny to hear their reactions. :) I also loved the 'correct' way to pronounce the 'Kanc'! Wicked...

I took 1 tick off Geneva and 1 off myself last night, and we were just hanging out in the backyard! :eek: Fortunately her fur is too thick for the little buggers to get in very easy, and the one I had was only on my pants. I will be getting more diligent about tick checks again. Nasty...

Whoo Hoo MEB! Big Congrats on finishing one quest, and beginning the next one. Happy and safe travels, and hope to see you out there every once in a while in unexpected spots on the AT! ;) Maine Girls RULE! :rolleyes:

hey Armand, if you rolled out of your tent before 1pm you would have had breakfast... :rolleyes: If I had made it to Mendon, you could have had French Toast! ;)

Enjoy it, nice hike any time of the year. ;)

Yikes MEB, I don't envy you writing the trip report up for this journey! 'Lets see, back in 1989 I did Hale...' ;) See ya up theah!

Whoo Hoo Sue!! You had some pretty nasty weather to get through! :eek: Simply amazing accomplishment. Congrats! ;)

I may swing in on my way to vermont... ;)

Most compasses have a ruler on the side, so next time you can measure the tracks with it! ;) Martens are pretty neat critters, there used to be one who hung out on 19 Mile Brook Trail near the pond and hut. We stopped at the pond for our lunch on one hike and while I was having a hard time...
