    Headache while hiking. If not dehydration, then what?

    Oh come on, Sabrina! That's just crazy talk!

    Do you take painkillers, ibuprofen, etc. when hiking?

    Aleve is my friend. I take it early in the morning before I hike...and if it's going to be a big day, I take my first dose at dinner time the night before. If I'm backpacking, I keep taking it until I'm done. I have knee issues that don't bother me too much unless I let inflammation get out of...

    NH 48 Direttissima North to South 8/13 - 8/23

    Well, I was only there once (but ate for two, as usual!)... Good to see you guys this morning. Right decision, Mats. Hope your flip-flop shopping was successful...those tootsies looked mighty painful!

    Pemi Loop 8.22.09

    Who: Giggy, Mookie, Juniper First time doing the loop for all of us, and for Mookie, first time on most of the summits along the way. Mother Nature didn't cooperate with our plans, and on Friday night we nearly cancelled the hike altogether. Instead, we decided to go ahead and only bail if...

    campground for 1-night stay - Conway NH area

    I've stayed at Eastern Slope campground in Conway for just one summer night. It was a drop-in situation, not a reservation. I just checked their site and didn't see any 2-night stay requirement spelled out. Eastern Slope

    NH 48 Direttissima North to South 8/13 - 8/23

    Shake & Bake!! Way to keep truckin, Mats! Hope to see you this weekend when you finish. MEB - tough call, I'm sure, but you've got to keep yourself healthy so you can continue to get out and do what you love to do. You've done an AMAZING job over the past week. See you soon... R

    8 ME Peaks, 3 80+ degree days and 2 NE115 finishes 8/15/09 - 8/17/09

    Congratulations Nicely done, ladies. At least the outcome (if not the weather) was better than the July 4th weekend! A hot weekend like this past one definitely goes well with the Stoli Dolis, though! Hope you had a new batch all mixed up for the second attempt. Honestly, Hui Yeng...there...

    Great Gully Trail

    Just hiked this trail for the first time on Sunday. The heat and humidity in the ravine made the climb a challenge, but the trail wasn't bad at all. It surely helped that the weather has been dry for a while now. I was afraid it was going to be much more technical, but there really is only one...

    NH 48 Direttissima North to South 8/13 - 8/23

    Good luck you two!!! I remember that last year I couldn't even pick up Mats' pack - sounds like maybe he's managed to trim it down a little bit! Hopefully I will run into you somewhere along the way... R

    Colden Trap Dike and Descending the Southeast Slide

    I don't know what Phil's talking about. I was never interested in your silly little hike. :p Some of those pictures make my stomach hurt! It was definitely a great day to be out -glad you all had a good time. Rebecca

    The Tooth

    This was one heck of a hike! Hard to beat the combination of weather, views and company. I particularly liked the trail up from Lake Colden to near Boundary...particularly the first mile or so with all the waterfalls and pools. Here are my pictures from the day. MacIntyre Range...

    Great Range Traverse Loop (almost) ADK Weekend

    You guys rock! We kept wondering how you were faring throughout the day (and speculated as to how many times UFC had puked:eek:). Very impressive.

    What would you do for a Klondike Bar...the Pemi Loop 8-8-09!!!

    Hooray! A job well done, ladies! I wish I could have joined you (I was doing some lame-o hike in the ADKs:p) but now that you know you can do it, I should have no trouble getting you to come along with me, right??

    The participants: Paradox (and Zippy!), Henry, King Tut, Drewski and me. Paradox and I had arrived at BBQ headquarters on Thursday night and were joined on Friday morning first by Henry and then by Drew to start the hike. We headed out from the Garden around 8:30 and made steady progress to...

    Adirondack bbq

    Not even the looong drive home could put a damper on this weekend! Had a fabulous time and want to thank all of you who had a hand in organizing. I really enjoyed meeting a lot of new people whose adventures I follow over on ADKHP. The weather was perfect, the food and drink abundant and tasty...

    Mousilauke-Blue Ridge Range Q

    Just did a Gorge Brook/Blue/Asquam Ridge loop a couple of weekends ago. The AR trail was in great shape - only really muddy section was close to the junction with the AT.
