N. Jackson 5/12/07 What a difference a week makes! I had originally planned to do Bag Pond Saturday but was short on time and needed a Plan B so decided to detour to North Jackson. I had spent several winter nights camped at the Slippery Slope Sno-mobile Club's cabin on the pond and always...

Count me in! I have trail duties part of this weekend but am hoping to be there for two days worth of whackin'.

oh yeah, its on! We three or four are still on and will be at Nancy Pd at 7:30am. Anderson and Lowell for sure Duck Pd optional.

Bemis? ...geez...I do need Bemis...if it were June 21 I might be down with that!... I like the route choice. It was not what I expected but I like it. We 3 or 4 are not going to the FTFC so will be going for Duck Pond...trying to adopt that 'No Stragglers' mentality! if we use 12:45hrs as one...

I have an AT trail register (with wood stain) on Nesuntabunt Mt that is fast becoming the food of choice for the locals...prolly on account of those sweaty thru hikers! :eek:

I had been thinking about Pliny recently. Thanks for posting about that abandoned Priscilla Brook trail. Whack on Garth! :D

Nicely done! Sounds like a case of great minds thinking alike. ;) Glad you boys had a chance to get acquainted.

just want to reiterate that there are at least 3 folks from my usual hiking croo that are committing to this hike. The fourth is on the fence pending the outcome of his week-long decision making process ;) but I think he is a go. So we will all be in one vehicle, at most 2. From looking at...

I agree with Kurt. This hike has several bail points so folks could take it one peak at a time...we go CCW on this right? Prolly 10-12 miles? haven't looked ... I am planning to go for the whole thing but know that some in my group were thinking initially only Lowell and Anderson...we hadn't...

looks like 12" ...could be powder, could be white lead, I am working from home and I have beer...

Excellent! So, is the 14th more convenient? I'm blowing off the MATC meeting for this :eek: No worries! I will dutifully apply myself to the trail maintenance, i just don't wanna miss this.....by my estimation it could be an 8 person Croo...the authorities will be on us like ants on a candy bar!

to quote those crazy Brits: Soldier #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut? Arthur: It could grip it by the husk! Soldier #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

Interesting. That explains it pretty well. And if you're up on Pisgah it definitely has that Gateway quality about it as it stands like a sentinel on Maine's Western frontier. I need to actually drive through the Coburn Gore gate someday to see what the mountains look like from the Canadian side.

Indeed I have definite interest but have kids and family gathering this weekend. Coincidentally we are heading there Saturday the 14th! Have a good one!

You're right Kevin. There are at least 10 summits, bump and humps in NE that share the Pisgah moniker. Who or what is a Pisgah anyway?

COP Mt Pisgah This 'whack took me totally by surprise. I had been contemplating this peak for a couple years now, that and the Sisks. Nothing particularly attractive about them other than mystique and that only by my own imagination. Border peaks have some sort of allure to them. To me...

Personally it is the humans that I tend to avoid when planning hikes. Present company excluded of course! :D Having grown up in the flight path of Pease AFB with the B-52s, KC-135s and FB-111's coming and going at all hours, I do not find the occaisional jet noise even if prolonged, is all...

hmmm....only 8 hikes, 12 summits...all but 2 were in the 12-23 mile range

Congrats Sir Edmiund! Fine selection by the way for a list ending, if there is such a thing as a list ending. ;)

I recall a Mahoosuc's trip about 3 or 4 years ago where I first met Mr Pete Hickey. It was during a night of torrential rains and wicked windy weather. We were hold up in the Gentian Pond shelter and through the din we heard two voices approaching. It was not early, though there were two...
