From Seven Dwarfs across to Haystack Rd and up "Herd Path". Trail unbroken. 12"-15" inches of snow, but fluffy not horrifically difficult. Snow shoes the whole way up and down. Snow actually made for a pleasant ascent and descent. Went around rock cleft to right to avoid, seemed to be...

Unknown Pond to Bunnell Notch loop. UNP was previously broken for a good bit of the way. Lost broken trail at a stream crossing, made our way up the stream, then picked up the actual trail again but didn't see evidence of old snowshoe prints at that point. Sparely blazed in this region. Snow...

Via York Pond out and back. Good snow conditions. Party of five (Chinook, MEB, Drew,Pa) broke trail, but not horribly difficult. Breakable crust, but didn't sink too deep in most place. Some blowdowns but easy to negotiate. Lost trail for short period a couple time, but overall fairly easy...

What Chip said....

Great trip and great pics Donna!!!!! Thanks for organizing it was an awesome time. Was great to really meet GO & Valerie as well. I as well was lucky enough to hook a ride in the Chinook-mobile. The girl can drive for sure, was really something different to watch the snowmobile whiz by us...

When: 12/29 & 12/30 What: Fire Wardens Trail Heavy snow and drifting. On the 29th there were not even snowmobile tracks on the road in. Broke out to Moose Fall Camp ground. Day 2 went back and reached summit of Avery. Snowmobiles have now been in the road and out to the pond. Group of 10...

OTIS!!!!! Nice to see you guys out. He was such a happy puppy that day. We asumed he really needed Mooselauke in November the way he was intent on getting to the summit. :p

Photo 17 made me look a couple of times to figure it out. :confused: With the prayer flags right there is threw off the scale for me at first. My initial reaction was a picture of apuddle with the little pieces of trash, huh, ok that's too bad. Then I figured out...those are tents!!!! Nice...

Shizz does have a bit of a reputation for enjoying cuddling with the critters, I'd like to think you raised Geneva right though :D but then again you can't always monitor exactly what the fuzz ones are up to now can you..... :eek:

I stayed there years ago, before they moved the LT and backcountry skiing was all the rage. It was nice back then, but now its pretty much trashed. Pico camp is a much better choice these days for sure.

Meeting 5:30-6:00pm. Will climb until we are satisfactorily tired from our efforts or embarrassed by our lack of talent. Then we'll head to Strange Brew to revel in our accomplishments or drown our sorrow :p Advance olive skewering techniques will be demonstrated.

Umm yeah, all climbing gyms are disappointing and if I actually took indoor climbing seriously I would probably be disappointed.... In general grades in them are irrelevant and/or pointless. It's all contrived IMO. Fortunately for me I generally don't care where the tape is either. I go up...

If anyone is interested a couple of us are gathering at Vertical Dreams in Manchester tomorrow night to pull a little pastic. Maybe very little if my elbow doesn't straighten out.....but anyhow...... Meeting somewhere between 5 and 6ish. There may be a stop at Strange brew after for half...

Yeah, too bad you had to stay home. Drowning your phone so we couldn't call and text you to harrass you into coming was a bit extreme though :p

I thought someone else (with curly hair) already took care of that for you :p

On big walls (ie multiday climbs) the courteous ones carry poop tubes (think capped PVC). Not sure if they are mandated in some areas or not. There's the wag bag thingies, and sometimes bombs away..... http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=65324&msg=804795#msg804795 Some...

I'm going to try my best to make it. I think I can, I think I can..... :cool:

I like leaves myself....hobblebush has really nice big ones and they are abundant!!! Ferns work too and I will go for the occasional rock, but I avoid twigs whenever possible. Of course snowballs in the winter :D On a related note my new ipood! shovel made it's maiden voyage this weekend...

Yeah, I hiked with Phil on the way up, he was littering then too and creating a nuisance :p Me, I wasn't proud or tired and I eventually had to drive all the way home to Stockbridge :eek: Nice job McRat!!!!!!

Had cortisone, it worked for a little while, then back pain returned. Not the sciatica I had before, but still not fixed. I also ended up with a spinal headache for about a week. They didn't do my shot under Fluoroscopy. That was bad enough that I didn't go for a second shot when they...
