    Cross Rivendell Trail, Vershire Vt 11/23/12

    Excellent! There is one section between The Cross Rivendell school and the trailhead for Sunday Mtn, that is a road walk/new trail sections that might not be on that map. Just make sure you have the map handy and keep your eyes open for the blazes! There are lots of great views along parts...

    Cross Rivendell Trail, Vershire Vt 11/23/12

    Part two I liked this beaver pond a lot...more decorative clouds added to the scene. After hiking along an old woods road for awhile, I came to my last still climb of the day, Hawkins Mtn. There were no views from the summit, but it was still a pleasant area to explore. Plus, there was no...

    Cross Rivendell Trail, Vershire Vt 11/23/12

    From Patterson Mtn I don't tend to hike for a goal (like peakbagging)...I just want to see as many trails as possible. On Friday I completed hiking the Cross Rivendell Trail that goes from Flagpole Hill in Vershire, Vt, to the summit of Mt Cube in Orford, NH. I must say, the section of trail...

    Moose Mtn Traverse 10/25/12

    Part 2 Now, onto the AT, South Moose Mtn summit After a break, an easy descent then rise brought me to the Moose Mtn shelter where I took an extended rest. Just below the shelter, I got this nice zoomed view of Cardigan. I always forget to take pics of the trail between the shelter and...

    Moose Mtn Traverse 10/25/12

    On Thursday, I decided to hike my new favorite local traverse...Moose Mtn, from Enfield, to the Hanover Lyme area on Goose Pond Rd. I believe it is about a 10-11 mile one way hike, which traverses about 5.5 miles of unmaintained trail, and 5.5 miles of AT. Considering the highest point on the...

    snow in them thar hills Monday

    A cold front Thurs night will bring the coldest air of the season, so it will be snowing in the whites at elevation (and possibly some flakes in the northern valleys) before the precip comes to an end. I may have to hike that day. :)

    Tuckerman Ravine Peak Foliage 10/5/12

    I made quick time back to the lodge, then I took a quick detour down to Hermit Lake. Sometimes I think I'm the only one who takes pictures down there....I never see them online anywhere. I'll have to come back when the sun isn't shining in my way... Time passed fairly quickly as I made my...

    Tuckerman Ravine Peak Foliage 10/5/12

    Foliage hikes have been at a premium so far this year, so I was glad when I was able to get out to the whites last Friday for a spectacular trip to Tucks. The foliage is peaking in most of the white mtns right now, and its as red as I have ever seen it. We took the super scenic route up the...

    Tarptents-Talk to me

    Thanks Marty :) I definitely want something that covers me up so I don't have that probably irrational fear of animals pecking at my eyes. The double rainbow one looks nice, and its really light for a 2 person shelter. Thankfully, Christmas is coming, because I def can't afford these things.

    Tarptents-Talk to me

    Thanks Tdawg, I'll be looking thru that thread in a few. Question about Liberty springs or Guyot...are there areas to puitch the tent on the ground, or is it tent platforms only?

    Tarptents-Talk to me

    http://www.tarptent.com/ I'm looking for a light tent/shelter for a 3 season (well maybe 2.5 season) time period, something like May thru October. I'm not necessarily going ultralight, because my other necessities (like water) still will weigh a lot. I'd just like to cut out as much weight as...

    How Windy is too Windy - Mt Washington

    Peronally, I would hike with winds of that speed, as long as the visibility is excellent, and temps comfortable. Wind gusts to 40 mph might stop you for a little bit, but it shouldn't cause you to have to turn around. Those winds sound like a normal blustery day above treeline. You will be in...

    Smarts Mtn "traverse" 9/20/12

    Some links http://www.dartmouth.edu/~doc/hiking/smartsmountain/ http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whitemountain/recreation/recarea/?recid=74725&actid=50 And it goes without saying, so I'll say it anyways, but the WHite Mtn guide has pretty much all the info you will need for trail descriptions...
