Maine-iacs will represent! Me and a small contingent from the Pine Tree State are planning on crashing this bash on Friday night post-Bread Loaf/Wilson. Provided we can control our bourbon comsumption and pre-mud season jubilation to a minimum, we plan to roll out o'dark-thirty Saturday...

Greetings from area code 207...me and some mates are interested in crashing your bash on Friday nite. We'll be hiking Breadloaf/Wilson Friday and want to bag Dorset pre-Equinox and y'er right there. Got room for 3-4 Maineiacs in your field? With dig Beer, Bourbon, Bonfires and Bacon so it...

impressive Trish, it was a pleasure to meet you and your daughter yesterday. She's a pretty amazing kid - a chip off the old block, for sure. :) Hope to see you out on the trails again someday. Cheers!

da rules this was forwarded to me...thought I'd share...-michael Q. What determines a winter ascent? A. It is not simply a matter of dates on your household calendar (e.g. Dec 21st to March 20th). The criteria established by Miriam Underhill, the inventor of the Winter Four-Thousand-Footer...

Kudos for trying! You needn't lament about the lack of acheiving the day's goal. You got out there in less than ideal conditions and gave it a hell of an effort. By contrast me and my croo we wussed out and hiked a ski slope. :rolleyes: You done good Pilgrim!

Decided to take a relatively simple and easy hike up Sugarloaf with andy and pete - helping these guys snag some maine summits in pursuit of WNEHH. We parked in the Golf Club lot and ascended via the West Mountain chair lift run up to Bullwinkles - too early for beer so we took a break at the...

Proper celebrations are a must to appease the mountain gods. Heinekens and, umm, incense seem to go hand in hand ;) Good job!

me and a couple others are mulling a 'Loaf/Spaulding trek, saving Bigelows for a day with a view and an opportunity to run the ridge to the Horns and out. Good luck!

Happy Birthday Dave!

Happy Birthday Jason!

congratulations donna! One less nemesis on your path to WNEHH!

Carpé diem! Winter 115 - Congrats!

Humbling Farmer We were amazed at the pack you had. By contrast me and mi amigo were hauling 25-30 pounders - with full bar of course! Seriously though, Andy and I marveled at the notion of a 10 pound pack. We figured 12 - 15. I nearly spit up my PBR when you said you were out for a Pemi...

so close but yet so far Ah yes I recall you cracking open a 21st - IPA on North Hancock, but you drank it so fast I didn't get a chance to read the label. That and the dive-bombing Gray Jays...but you mean to tell me I have to drive to Mass. to purchase this miracle brew? That just ain't...

not what I thought at first... from the title I was thinking 'crippies' was a term for Crippled Hippies, had visions of a Hunter Thompson-esque adventure...;) A fun report nevertheless and some fine photography. Thanks!

congrats! what an awesome locale for a proposal! I had the pleasure of working for the Routt NF for four summers. Couldn't think of a more beautiful spot. The Yampa, the Sleeping Giant. Beautiful! and again congratulations!

Pine Bend Brook Trail: Well packed trail all the way to middle peak. Snow conditions have been outstanding and this trail was no exception. Little in the way of ice but crampons/insteps perfectly suitable. Temps in teens but sunny with occasional breezy gusts. Not cold enough to snuff the...

Ouch! Man, I am glad you had a crew on the way because we weren't heading back there after our stop and it would have really sucked to have left you battered and bruised on top of that hill. Glad you survived that encounter. Sorry we didn't have a chance to chat with you. We split not long...

lmao!! :d

well thanks Shawshank. I certainly didn't invent the idea but I can certainly advocate for a moderate consumption of malted beverages at any elevation. Time and place for everything as you know ;). Cheers! (and welcome to VFTT!)
