Thank you for the green-spot, Tom. That's very thoughtful of you. Hope to cross paths with you out there soon!

Many thanks for the green-spot, Cat de Bark. I think Jeremy warrants a cameo appearance in *every* Trip Report! Catch up with you and Sandra soon, I hope.

Hey Jason, many thanks for the green-spot on the Polly report. Much appreciated! Will see you out there soon, I'm sure.

Many thanks for the green-spot, Tobit. Much appreciated!

Thank you for the kind words, everyone. I really appreciate you taking the time. My sister and her husband warned us, "Two big dogs, big double-trouble." Truth to tell, there have been a few occasions when Tuck and Polly have been triple-trouble (tug of war with dishcloths, a new fascination...

The trailhead parking lot was fine, Mohamed, if a little muddy. I don't think it got plowed, however, but only because plowing wasn't needed. So what will happen with plowing later in the winter is still a question.

Trail: Mt. Kinsman Distance: ~5 miles, up and back Elevation gain: 1,400 feet Time: 2.5 hours It had been way, way too long. Some business travel followed by the flu kept me off the trails for five weeks. I was going crazy. So were the dogs. That's right, "dogs," plural. Some of you know...

Thank you for the green spot. I appreciate your thoughtfulness very much.

Thank you for the green-spot, Sabrina. Tuck was happy to do a little route-exploring for Terra. It's a long hike for a dog, but Terra's done longer so it shouldn't be a problem. The ups and downs over the Cannonballs, after the back-and-forth between the Kinsmans, took a lot of Tuckerman's...

Thank you for the kind responses. You're very thoughtful, all of you. Trish, I'm sorry we missed you, Alex and your new companions up on top of Cannon. We got up there at, let's see, it was about 4 p.m., and we hung out in the tramhouse for a while because Rocket said he couldn't finish the...

Trails: Basin-Cascades, Cascade Brook, Kinsman Pond, Kinsman Ridge, Taft ski run, old Tuckerbrook ski trail. Miles: ~14 Elevation gain: approx. 4,800 feet Time: 10 hours, 45 minutes You know how it is with Rocket21. You agree to something that's reasonable, then pretty soon he's got you...

Thank you for the thoughtful green-spot, Michael. I had a truly wonderful time with everyone on Saturday, though I'm sorry you and I didn't have more of a chance to talk. Maybe next time! I know Tuckerman is anxious to hike with Terra again.

Tuckerman, in his way, is still talking about the best day of his life. I've never seen him have more fun than he had on Saturday with everyone and, of course, with ALL THOSE DOGS. Speaking as his Big Boss Man, I really appreciated everyone's patience with Tuck. He's a year old now but still...

Tuckerman the Playful Puppy and his Big Boss Man will be there! See you at the trailhead tomorrow.

Thanks for the green spot, Sabrina. You're generous and I appreciate it. Anxious to introduce you, Michael and, of course, Terra to Polly. Maybe in winter or spring -- I need to find out what kind of hiking dog she'll be before we try any large hikes. She should be great, but I don't know yet...

Thank you for the kind comments, everyone. As always, I appreciate that you took the time to read another of my little reports. Isn't that hive something? The photo hardly does it justice -- it's about the size of a basketball. (The hive is visible on a branch on the tree on the left in the...

Great report and photos, Bill. You're absolutely right about the wonders of the Wild River country and the east side of the Carter-Moriah Range. What gorgeous country that is.

Thank you for the green spot, Mohamed. I appreciate your generosity very much. The old Tuckerbrook ski trail does not appear on any current maps that I've seen, but I'll have to check some older ones. (Surely it appears on an old Mittersill ski map.) Rocket21 has wondered if it was built by the...

Thank you for the green spot, Larisa. You're always so thoughtful and generous. If you're ever of a mind to try it, Tuckerman and I would love to host you on a climb up the old Tuckerbrook ski route. Meanwhile, please accept my very best and sincere wishes for a quick and perfect healing of your...

Many thanks for the green spot, Bill (and Sheep). Both Tuck and I look forward to meeting both of you out on the trail soon.
