    The Yin and Yang of Madison and Adams on a Winter Day 3-10-12

    June and me headed up the Valley Way trail to Madison hut where we would then head up Mt. Madison first, drop back to the hut and continue on to Mt. Adams. Forecast was for a decent Presi day. We certainly got that Presi day but we also got to see the yin and the yang of weather in the Whites...

    White Mountains Winter 48 Finish

    Incredible job, Joe. Really hard to imagine. Maybe next year if you push yourself a little harder, you could include the VT and ME mountains, but there's only 19 of them.:eek: Short work for a guy like you! :D:D

    Southern Presi Traverse on an Outstanding day 2-21-12

    Kev- I had no idea there was something called a 22* halo. Never heard of it until now. I stand corrected although Sun dog does sound better than 22* degree halo. :D

    Southern Presi Traverse on an Outstanding day 2-21-12

    Our troop of four (Ed, Paul, Pam and John) headed out to do a Southern Presi traverse (Monroe, Eisenhower, Pierce) under spectacular weather conditions. When the weather is right, a winter Presi traverse can't be rivaled. This was one of those days. Another fantastic day in the mountains...

    Backyard Coyote. First time we've seen one in the backyard.

    Not really a trip report since we didn't go anywhere. We enjoyed this sighting from the warmth and comfort of our living room. I'm working on the computer posting some pictures from the last couple of hikes and June says, "Coyote in the backyard." I grab my camera and was able to take 30 or...

    Stillwater Junction History Questions

    That looks like it was the old Stillwater By-Pass trail. Abandoned sometime between 1940 and 1947 it appears. Used to follow a branch of an old logging railway although I don't see any RR tracks on the old maps. Maybe it was just a logging road rather than railway. The old railway/logging...

    Stillwater Junction History Questions

    I believe the dam remains are the remnants of the old Shoal Pond Brook water gaging station from about 1911. There are three of these old gaging stations around the Stillwater area. I believe there were seven of these gaging stations built around that time in the Pemi area. They were part of...
