Great Job! I'm so proud of you and your Mexican Indian friend!!! :D

Kristina wants to do one day presi and pemi (seperately) so i'll do those with her but besides that no. going to focus on racing ultras until the conditions in the Whites are a bit speedier.

nice to meet you.. sorry we sped off but training calls!

Agreed! I move to nominate TEO as the all knower of hiking skiiing and drytooling in the Whites and greater northeast area! Does anyone second this motion? ApologY for the thread deraileur BenWhiteSkis, I'll be quiet now :D

I know they aren't ideal, but if you wore MSR's and carried the 8 inch tails in your pack and put them on when you wanted to go off trail. I'm sure someone must have mentioned this before me.

The ski trails at Waterville and Wildcat shouldn't trip you up too bad.. AND they are on WMNF land so hike away brother! FWIW I've descended in my MSR's before in fresh snow and made it out OK! :D

Not to single you out Sierra but this is a good example of why I've chosen not to write anything further on this thread. Let's just say I did some hiking... If the weather hadn't warmed up and the snow turn to mash potatos I would have beaten MY OWN record. 28 peaks in 3.5 days with a possible...

I still can't believe you're always running into that Flamingo out there! So wierd...

THE ARM CHAIR HIKER. Oh wait we're talking about people you would meet on the trail. Sorry :)

Just got internet back and will write up a recap of the way things went soon. Plus a full description of the massive 3-5 person support crew and trail breaking army I had on the payroll. Thanks again for all the virtual support and kind words.

One has to ask......what the heck does the young Farmer eat during the hike to replenish the 10,000 calories burned? Gu's and bars of sorts or Suzie Q's and Little Debbie snacks? And in the evening, is it PBR's and Spam? :eek: I mean 10,000 calories.......that's some serious food intake...

The show is over folks! After experiencing less than ideal conditions ranging from rotten snow at 4000 ft to slush and puddles down low on both the Hancocks and Osceolas today and withe the forecast looking the way it is conditions are just too slow to keep me focused and motivated to continue...

the plan keeps evolving as the conditions change. heading for the stuff on the Kanc that's broken out today. "IF" things freeze up this could end in the mother of all Pemi hikes. Hale,Zealand,Bonds,Twins,Galehead,Garfield,Lafayette,Lincoln,Liberty,Flume,Owls Head. Doesn't sound very fun to me!

Note to self: dont post anymore when exhausted poor form on my part and I apologize.

The plan for tomorrow is Prezzie traverse Tom, Field, Willey and then come back for a rematch with Moriah! Bedtime....

Had to skip Moriah today. Took three strong hikers 14 hours to break out the Cats Moriah traverse to the Stony brook junction.I caught up to them just after the shelter spur so I decided to skip Moriah which wasn't broken out and hike down with them so we could regroup.

Thanks for all the trail updates! Planning a 6 am start tomorrow on cabot followed by waumbek then Isolation and finishing up the day with the Cats thru Moriah traverse. Any body doing the Carters, Widcats, or Moriah tomorrow?

Added some links to my original post so my progress can be followed via SPOT 2 and Daily reports on my blog

Thanks! Great quote. Actually day 3 and 4 are reversed in the revised plan. No matter when the day is finished I will be resting for a predetermined amount of time and then hit the trail again even if it is 2 or 3 am. That's the plan anyway! ;)

Trails used: Avalon , Mt. Tom spur, Willey range trail. Snowshoes the whole way! River cossings easy. The first is bridged and the second is rock hoppable. 12 to 18 inches new snow above Avalon trail Jct. No blowdowns and now well packed out by our 3 person crew.
