Hi, We'd love to join again. 3 of us. Glad I am planning ahead and not stalking at the 11th hour.

I love quaking aspens! Both (quaking and big-tooth) are around in NH. I'm not sure of the area you saw on NH-2 though. These are pioneer trees, the first to regenerate an area after fire, logging, or when a field is abandoned. They are sun lovers. These trees live fast and die young. 80 is old...

Date of Hike: 10/15/11 Trail Conditions: Wet after a torrent of rain the previous day. The trail is wide as it is also a snowmobile trail for most of the way. The colorful fall leaves all over the trail made for beautiful scenery along the way. Special Equipment Required: none Comments: At...

Date of Hike:10/16/11 Trail Conditions: Trail was in good condition. early in the hike there was one blowdown that hikers had already formed a new path around. At the upper ends of the Hi-Cannon Trail rocks were wet, but not slick. Footing was good and trees for added security holds were...

Hey Becca, I just got the word on your grid finish and came on to find your email and say a huge CONGRATULATIONS!! When I saw this post I figured I'd reply here: a grid finish and a moose sighting in one. That's excellent. A pleasure to have been on hikes with you. Beautiful weekend for it.

Oops. I'm coming in late on this. I've also been doing more running than hiking lately. It's just where my life is taking me these days. Retro wishes for Saturday's run. Cool congrats, and I'll be thinking of you in April.

We're in need of a new camera. We never use our 35mm film camera anymore and the PAS isn't cutting it for our needs (or wants).It takes a lot of blurry shots and has a lot of lag time when taking pictures. Those are our primary complaints. So I'm looking for recommendations on an entry level...

Hello, Following Peakbagger's lead in preposting a hike should anyone want to join me. I'm open to something in the Pinkham Notch area next Saturday the 20th. Could be Washington, the Wildcats, or Carters. I am planning to drop off husband and daughter at Storyland for a few hours, so I need to...

Trish, You seem like you and your kids did pretty well without. :) Pudgy, I think, from your picture, that beige flap is what I call the sunshade. It snaps over the kid's head and protects from the sun. It also keeps my daughter's head from flopping way off to the side when she falls asleep...

Congratulations on the baby girl!! I'll be the third to fully recommend an Ergo. I started hiking with my daughter in an Ergo when she was 5 weeks old. She's still in it, when she's not walking now at 2.25. I've found it the most comfortable, light-weight and versatile carrier out there. (I...

I will begin by admitting that I've not clicked on the link nor read the Times article, but the gist I get from reading the replies reminded me of a study I once read while trying out some experimental vision therapy in the early 90's for my near sightedness. It was something along the lines of...

Great TR and pictures. You are lucky ducks.

Hey, Happy Birthday to you today!

I know it was great. We hiked Black Cap in the pouring rain with our 2 year old Friday. She was awesome didn't complain or seem to notice the rain really. Slugs were the real interest. I carried her up Peaked Sunday. 40's been good to me so far. We were on Moosilauke for my birthday. Thanks...

Caps Ridge Trail is open and has been beautifully cleaned up. There is evidence of impressive trail work done to remove blowdowns and all brush has been cleared. I went bird watching Saturday up as far as The Link. Highlights include Bicknell's thrush singing heard from Pothole rocks, Boreal...

How do I get on the never age so people can catch up with me plan? Thanks for the well wishes. We are all great. Hiking some surprise mountain Gig has planned tomorrow.

I think I'm in a similar boat. We recently have bought two new tents in order to accommodate our now 2 year old and a continued active lifestyle. Last year, we got the REI Camp Done 2. This we used for backpacking trips. It is just over 5 lbs. and fits three of us very well. Weight was...

5/14/11 Trail Conditions: Trail was dry enough and in great shape. Cleared of fallen limbs, water bars in good shape. Two blow downs that were not hard to get over or under. There was still some ice, slush, and a slender monorail. Special Equipment Required: I used traction (stabilicers) for...

I wanted to congratulate you on the GRID finish today. What a wonderful day for it. (I hope it was as good in the mountains as it weatherwise here.) Would have loved to have been able to join you. I did eat a marshmallow peep in you honor. :-)

Hey, Big Earl!! I wish I'd known you were hiking this yesterday. Yesterday was my monthly baby-free hike, and I was out with a group on Lafayette. It was such an unpredicted beautiful day. I would have loved to have joined you and Sue (whom I've read so much about) on the traverse. Nice pictures...
