Hey Girl! I was looking forward to this report after doing the training hikes with you. Your pictures are wonderful! What a place to be! You are a very strong hiker and will do fine no matter what. Take joy in the experience you had....I'm sure the summit will happen when it is right. Let...

I love tree huggers!

Like to wear dresses.... As you can see I am female...and this sports bra IS very comfortable....even if I want to get it off me as soon as I'm back at the car.... :D I don't really care one way or the other about hiker gender..if they ate beans the night before the hike and expect to...

It is Monday and I STILL feel like I got my butt kicked!! I think I will feel like this tomorrow also! My legs are SORE. I get a chuckle when I think about waking up early on Sunday to find that most of the firewood is unburned and much of the keg of Sam Adams is still full......and most...

Good luck runners!! Hope to see you on top!! :)

Hey - just want to pop-in a last minute idea. I haven't had very good luck raising money at work, but a woman I don't know just donated $20 as she overcame a brain tumor. I told her that if she gave me a picture of herself I would attach it to my backpack for the hike to honor a survivor. I...

West Highland Way/Ben Nevis In 2002 I went over to Scotland and did the West Highland Way - a 95 mile walk starting from near Glasgow and ending in Fort William. It was a beautiful walk over several days and I stayed in Inns, B&B's and a yurt along the way. The days are hiking and seeing...

Nice to meet most of you and see Ron again! You are a very fun group and can talk about dogs for hours :D I had been on that trail a few times as a kid and was happy to walk it again - even if it was super wet and muddy. What a nice shelter that was...with the porch...I could have huddled...

I don't mind a GOOD 15 year scotch, but can't afford to buy it :eek: I tend toward the lighter liquors when the weather gets warm - G&T, etc. I haven't yet decided what I am going to bring in that category. I'd like to think I will be up socializing with old friends and new, but after the...

Seema - Your TR is as funny as it is difficult to read. Difficult because of all the things you encountered that would have put me over the edge :eek: Probably my worst decent was on Airline - just no breaks from rocky terrain. And that was just the beginning...... You and Brian rock for...

I am also not having a successful time of raising money :( I think I have about $70. I am just not super comfortable asking people for money. Sorry.

What?! I already bought my 6-pack!

1. Does rock scrambling count? South Island of New Zealand - it was a hot day and I was following a system of beautiful waterfalls. Hadn't seen another person all day - a sheep or two yeah. Took advantage of an incredible, remote waterfall, but no sooner had I disrobed and climbed over all...

Sounds good! Gig - bring some of your favorite CDs to the CMR, so I can sample some of your crazy-a*% music!!

SUV at Lincoln Woods - was it black? Yeah, I parked close to it and thought it was probably someone from your backpacking group. Sorry we missed you guys....I couldn't find anyone to go have a beer with me after our hike :eek: Although everyone did have a long drive home and work the next...

Suggestions?! Training Recommendation Request: Anyone have any suggestions as to if a big outing this weekend would be good or to just go small in preparation for next weekend.

Nice pictures HuiYeng! (although there should be more of you and much fewer of me...) They really captured the conditions. Thanks. See you soon.

Wow - I didn't expect so many stories! They definitely should get some claim for bravery!! I do feel sorry for that poor grouse who was probably traumatized too!

Despite the forecast, people actually wanted to do the Franconia Ridge with me yesterday. HuiYeng (7summits), Damon and Damon’s friend Ken met me at Lincoln Woods at 7am to spot a car, and then head-up to the Skook trailhead. With Damon in the lead for the majority of the day, you know we...

Nice TR - I can just hear the laughter :)
