Hello to Brambor: We saw any number of skiers on both the Tote Road and the Chimney Pond Trail (with climbing skins). They all seemed to manage quite well on nicely packed snow; results would presumably vary depending on conditions. It is interesting to note that a posting at the BSP Visitor...

Hi Jonathan: Thanks again for all the information you gave us re. Baxter, and for sharing your extraordinarily good photos from this trip. You folks got a lot more blue sky than we did, and though we were "shut out" in terms of bagging the big peaks, we nevertheless had a terrific time in this...

This expedition to BSP took form in November when we began assembling a crew to try to add Katahdin and Hamlin to our Winter NE 4K peakbagging list. The group of participants morphed a bit over the ensuing months (regrettably, Ironman (Larry), Jim W. and John B. had to withdraw from the final...

Hi Mark: We've never met, but my hiking pal Spaderman speaks very highly of you. If memory serves me correctly, you were kind enough to congratulate us when Creaky Knees and I finished the W48 4K list on Bondcliff last March, accompanied by Spaderman finishing his "all season" 48. As you...

Comrade Steveski: "Great Soviet Hiking Team" is wishing you many congratulations on your great success!!! :D Comrade Mad Dogonov and I were both honored to have been along for the "ride", and only regret that Comrades Creaky Kneeski, Roy Boyski, and Iron Manochov were unable to participate in...

Tim, you've been a very busy lad this winter! Excellent TR and photos per usual. Looks like you're headed for a finish in the Bonds, which is exactly what happened with us last March (unless you save the alphabetically-last Zealand for last!).:rolleyes: In any event, best of luck to you in...

Hello Bryan: I am pretty sure that you are the guy my friend Creaky Knees and I met a little over a year ago in December '08 on the Gale River Trail, while you were on the way up to a successful summit of Galehead, and we were emerging from an unsuccessful attempt the day before which had...

Let the record reflect that although you have been previously friendless, you have now been befriended. Regards, Rick aka Great Pumpkin

Fredo: A much-belated congratulations on your trip, with such high-quality photos. The missus has already inquired: "So, when are you planning to go?", so I'll need a guide.....What else is new.:D

Peter, I suspect that you must've had a smile on your face all day that was the equal of the one you wore on President's Day when we met briefly on Mount Washington, at the end of the Crawford Path! Very fine pictures and a terrific four-bagger to finish out the winter season. Well-done.

Rick, the very best of luck to you, and congratulations in advance. Have appreciated your recent kind comments on our finishing expedition, and I am certain that you will meet with equal success!! Would that be an Irish clan's kilt that you will be using on the Great Saint's Day? :D

Hi Doc: After reading this epic, I think we should be the ones buying you a Pemi Pale Ale at Woodstock Station !! ;) What a trip! Great job!

Hello, and thanks for some Irish green! I certainly do remember that meeting on Valley Way; I believe that was the day of the "serial postholers" from the Great White North, and the only other day that the wind was able to knock my ample frame on its keister! Best regards, and happy trails. Rick./

Andy: Congratulations on a fine finishing peak; you did it 17 years faster than I did!!:)Not to mention doing the entire traverse in the same time it took me just to go from Z Hut to Lincoln Woods!! Very well done indeed.

Many thanks for kind words and congratulations expressed both on this forum and by way of PMs; much appreciated. As per the request of MTNRUNR, I hope that this link http://picasaweb.google.com/sspader2/ZealandHutLincolnWoodsTraverseViaBonds?will work to provide access to some of the fine...

"It's Gonna Be a Long Walk Home" (Apologies to the Boss, but accurate nonetheless). The Winter Tour of Redemption had ground inexorably toward a three-way 48 4K finish (say that five times fast) on Bondcliff for Creaky Knees, Spaderman, and your humble correspondent. CK and I were looking to...

Hello Mad Townie: Nice to speak with you however briefly as we began the descent on the Crawford Path last week. Thanks for posting your excellent collection of pictures from that extraordinary day. Between the five of us, we must have a hundred or more shots, and since I am a 19th century...

(Apologies to Emerson, Lake and Palmer). Anticipating that there would be a fair amount of trail to break by virtue of the recent snowfall, Creaky Knees had done his best to drum up some company for our 3-man assault on Owlshead by posting on Trips & Events, but there were no takers at 6:00...

Hey Spades: Too bad you didn't have me along to help slow you down:D; I was busy performing that task for Creaky Knees and Mad Dog on Owlshead!! Glad you could get No. 34 pal, and we'll hope for some good luck on the traverse on 3/7!!

I shall be there, and will do my humble best, Oh Great One!! The Winter of Redemption Tour rocks on.....
