Today, on May 24, 2015, Per Frost completed his grid (576: 48x12) on beautiful Mt. Jackson. Accompanied by his wife, Helle, his dogs Shamus and Cinilla, and a multitude of friends, the day was perfect for a grid finish, especially with no bugs to harass the hikers. An hours long tailgate was...

It looks like Haystack Road is open for the season as of this afternoon.

Just drove by Zealand Rd and it is open for the season. The WMNF website has also been updated with the news. The other roads most likely won't be too far behind.

From Bloomberg Business: http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-trader-in-the-wild/ I believe the author is the same Chip Brown who wrote "Good Morning Midnight: Life and Death in the Wild", the story of Guy Waterman.

Diane "Lady Di" Schor finished her grid today on the cold and windy summit of Mt. Garfield. Twenty plus friends (and several dogs) joined her in celebrating her tremendous achievement. For someone who said she would never do the grid, never say never. With the support of her husband, Bill...

Here's a blurry shot of a Russian Boar from deep inside Corbin Park. Blurry because it was taken from the back of a pickup truck as we were being delivered to the Croydon trailhead. This was one of the smaller ones. Occasionally they do escape from Corbin. I wouldn't want to see one on the...

Bill Cronin completed his grid (48x12) today on the bone-chilling summit of Mt. Hale accompanied by a small contingent of friends. It was a chilly 15 degrees below zero with a five mph wind on the summit. Summit celebrations were quite hasty as we said some quick congratulations and quickly...

Today, Wednesday, February 11, 2015, Sandy Price completed her grid (48x12) on the summit of Mt. Eisenhower accompanied by a multitude of friends on an incredibly beautiful day. We were able to luxuriate on the summit for nearly 40 minutes with warm temps and no wind. Sandy is #51 of known...

Twelve individuals comprised of three groups hiked Bonds-Zealand on this day. Our group, starting out from Lincoln Woods, had seven to begin the journey and then split into two groups beyond the Camp 16 turn. The faster, stronger group of four went on ahead from there gladly breaking trail...

A great day it was. 18 below zero in the Appalachia parking lot when we started and 19 above on the summit of Adams and 22 above on the summit of Madison. Aren't temperature inversions great!!!! Eight of us joined Jeb for his big finish. Congratulations, Jeb!!!

A big congratulations, Sue. Redlining is definitely lots of fun. Sometimes finding the trailheads for some of these trails can be an adventure in itself. I also had to redo some very long hikes to get a very short spur that I had skipped many years ago. What a great sentiment to honor...

Westside trail?

Did a quick hike up Ike today and on the way back noticed Zealand Rd is gated, Haystack Rd is gated, Gale River Rd at Trudeau Rd is gated. The Garfield end of Gale River Rd was still open but maybe because some one was still parked in there?

The new relo has been flagged but no work was done because an endangered sedge was discovered so they have put off any trail work for now. Maybe a relo of the relo in 2015?

It is a fun day if you have good weather. Not to be rushed. Link to my old Views report: http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?45974-King-Ravine-and-the-Five-Adams-8-7-12&highlight=five+adams

In the interest of transparency… The NH300 lists aren’t considered super secret, however they aren’t passed out indiscriminately either, but passed out to those considered to be good stewards of the bushwhacking community. Usually one of the caveats to receiving a list is that they were not to...

My wife June and I had the great pleasure to participate in the annual Adaptive Sports Partners of the North Country - Sunrise Ascent up Mt. Washington helping Team Martin. Click this link for background information: http://adaptivesportspartners.org and then click this link for information on...

I'm waiting for the TR 6k Challenge.

Painted Quadrillium (at least that's what I call it, a Painted Trillium with four petals, four sepals, four leaves). This is the second Quadrillium I've seen in the Whites.

Took me a while to find this in my collection but vandalism goes back a long way on the Moose. Some things will never change. A reward poster printed on some sort of cloth (linen?) dating back to the time of the old Tip Top House. An old postcard of the old Tip Top House (with a few changes)...
