Skied Waterville on Sunday. WOW! is all I gotta say! Nice dry snow, etc. Unreal. Best of the year so far. They said 10-12" of dry fresh on Fri->Sat.

Raining like hell here in harvard, mass. BOO HOO

Screw spring, BRING ON MORE SNOW! Hey, I may do the good old "cough cough, hack hack" on thursday and go north to ski at cannon or loooooooooon. is the snow supposed to be heavy or light? i already had one ACL replaced on the left knee, so I'll shy away if the snow is heavy & wet. But...

Feb 7th it is. Already nego'd with The Wife; Mon/Tue would be very hard.

How was the Pump Ellie trail? LOL

NAH! Too Far. Come to Lowell and live large!

Armond, If you wanna hook in Lowell at my work, we can do that too. Old Court is nice - cheap bevvy's versus normal bars.

Yo! I am in. I work in Lowell, so jumping there from work is a quick 3-4 puffs away! Stev-o, you wanna hook at my work, then head in? LMK !

Thanks for the replies!

Hi, I'm heading up to Maine very shortly for 4 nights/5 days of fun in the woods and was interested in hearing ideas, experiences, etc. of others with respect to camping out. I do not want to stay at one of those organized campgrounds, i.e., Catherdral Pines(no matter how cutting-edge it is)...

Redrock Hi, I did a similar hike to this on 7/3 - day hike from lincoln woods. Route was this: lincoln woods -> wildnerness boundary via mt bike. franc. brook tr to N side of Redrock brook. follow N side or Redrock brook, keeping left the entire route to RR pond. up the slide that terminates...

>>And then the "Clambake" effect on the Wilderness trail >>that Arm talks about, and that I understand. LOL - I was just combing some entries for a trip I am going to take tomorrow and saw this. It is called Hypnotic Clambake :) the same terrain for 6 miles and you get into the HC mode...

Well, Steve-o and I hit Sugarloaf, Hogsback, Jeffers, and Blueberry on Fri/Sat under clear, blue, sunny, beautiful skies. Some gems there, even if you never crest 3000'. We camped in the woods well off one of the forest service roads - not a bad view from the site. From the N-S road, we took...

as a kid who grew up in a rural mass. town, i never got ticks. they were considered "rare" in the 1970s and early 1980s. Now, EVERYWHERE. Never have had to deal with them in the mtns, maybe that time is changing.

Did you ever do this hike? Did you find a canister/JAR on Jeffers? how is the going between b-berry trial and Jeffers summit? looks like a long rounded peak, making jar/Canister search difficult , i would assume.

i guess that's why the ADK rule of you must have snowshoes is a "good thing" ?

BTW, MEB's trail reports on a similar hike was part of the inspiration as well as my recent desire to hide-out in the dry river wilderness and hit'em from there, but, can't be doing that anytime soon cuz those river crossings would killya.

So - i settled on eisenhower -> pierce -> jackson traverse. 308 miles of driving, 10 or so of hiking in snow the entire way. long day for a solo trip saw 10 people, typical prezzy crowd :). this time, no dog incident on eisenhower :/ snow the entire way, from rte 302 on up, deepest betw...

Heh. Just say "NO" to the huts. GOUGE! My daughter is now 9. I took her on her first overnighter when she was 5. started car-camping when she was barely 2. When we do backpacks, we always make a primative camp off the trail, low elevation - maybe 2-4 miles in. then, hit a summit the...

Scratch that - I think i've done about 75% of that 52 list, still nice. Smarts looks good...
