    Another day another beer for the summits. But this day left me wondering WTF? All these years drinking what I thought were scrumpies - a mixture of whiskey and cider turned out to be nothing but lies! well, ok, not lies but certainly a misrepresentation. False advertising. Faux scrumpage...

    Owl’s Head Myself, Pete (aka Hans) and Andy W (sir Andrew of Wyatt) started our day in the Lincoln Woods parking lot around 7AM. The air had a crisp ‘minus’ quality to it but the day promised to be sunny and not so breezy as originally predicted. We set off down the Lincoln Woods trail eager...

    Dappled Snow on Speckled Mountain

    22 years I have not stood on this summit in a long long time and it was the first summit I climbed after my arrival in Maine some 22 years ago. I recall having been surprised at the quality views and rugged landscape. Having just returned from Colorado and all I was expecting to be...

    Unsuccessful Scar bushwack

    don't feel bad... I had to hike this mountain 3 times, twice to get it officially for the first time and once because I was 'volun-told' to go back with a friend who really really wanted the company. I swore a blue streak when I found the note in the register that the register was not on the...

    Cube Mountain Corridor Monitoring 10/11/09

    RT's I admit, this time out I did not have as much time to spend kicking the sod trying to locate a couple of the RT's on this section of the corridor. I was pinched for time and really had only the desire to find as many as A-1 's as posible in the limited time I had. I definitely have a...

    Thanks for the greenie! I'm pretty much doing this with map and compass at the moment. That and a camera to take photos of the monuments. I have learned from the previous CM of this section that he never actually visited any of the monuments. He apparently monitored from afar by gazing down...

    First 'Daks summits 8/10 - 8/12

    So as we were hiking this day we both had commented on how at various times in our collective hiking careers we had both experienced pains in the knee joint area and as we were descending and near the bottom of the saddle between Giant and RPR he lets out a gasp of pain. Oh boy. So, after a...
