Holy Crap! That is a dayhike!!! I wish I could do it, but with my slow-as a smail pace, it would take a week!!! YOU GUYS ROCK

Is this hike rain or shine? Might try to make it. Sandy

Fascinating- and educational TR. I love the Grand Canyon, but she is a killer. Hyponatremia is serious and frightening. Glad you did OK. Gotta love Park Rangers... I always use junk food on hikes. I get sneers from the clif bar people, but at least I LIKE my snacks. Salt is actually part of my...

I am so happy to hear this! Can't wait to meet the baby out there on the trails Sandy

thanks everyone !!!! we are going up tomorrow. Appreciate all the info. Sandy

Thanks everyone. I think we will go up the trail from the ski area, but Drews' comment bears considering. I can only use 1 hiking pole for now.:( Max is a 10 y/o yellow lab with sore shoulders and 10 y/o hips. He usually does well on not-so-steep stuff. He did so well on our last hike...

I never met Genie but clearly she was a special dog. You will see her at the "Rainbow Bridge" Rainbow Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows...

Thank you all for the advice. Now I'm leaning towards the ski area side, so we can go down the slopes. I'd prefer some scenery reward for climbing this mountain. As long as the footing is good, I should be fine. Thanks again. Sandy

Thanks to all. I'll reconsider the Tripoli side. I think the distance played a part,2.5 miles is cheap for a 4Ker. Even though I don't want to admit it, it is on my 'list'. I did Osceola last fall, and I did Pierce last August. We are staying in a cg right on 49 so I thought I'd stick to...

I am recovering from rotator cuff surgery and am itching to hike something. I'll be in the Waterville Valley this w/e. Was thinking of going up Tecumseh. I'll be with my gimpy lab, so I'm limited as well. I have read a good number of TRs but would like input from anyone who can give me a...

This brings me right back to 8th grade!!!. Very sad. Hopefully those involved will strike that comment from the register. Grow up people!

I won't touch the Craigslist part of this:cool:, but I started off hiking a long time ago, in college, with a few friends, and went up Mt. Mansfield. We hiked Memorial Day, and I didn't even carry the garbage bag. Stupid and lucky. I also carry a garbage bag which can double as a bivy sac in a...

Great TR as always. As for the dogs: There are good AND bad owners out there. The 1st encounter was a 'bad owner' The second, well they had the animal on a leash, and maybe the hiking stick did freak the dog out. I have a yellow lab who was beaten up by the "alpha male" in the family we adopted...

Thanks for a very entertaining TR. We were planning to do Roberts this past W/E but I chickened out and opted for Champney Falls instead. Definately on my to do list. Sandy

I havent done that...yet, but wish you a speedy recovery. Ditto the specialist, the caffeine, the booze, the NSAIDs and if you smoke, cut down or quit. The tibia is a slow healer. sandy

It is ao nice to read about dogs like this. I have 3 labs, with not one dog skill between them!!! Lucky dog.

Thanks to all of you who gave advice on my last post about the Ossipees. Will hike Mt Roberts I am intrigued however, about Black Snout. My hiking partner Miss Rosie, has a large black snout, and when my shoulder allows, I'd like to go up there. I read some TRs, but would like to know about...

Hi all: I am interested in doing a hike in the Ossipees this W/E. I did a general search, but would like ideas on a relatively mellowhike, ice- free, no steep scrambles to somewhere with a view. Length is not a big deal, but would prefer not too challenging, as I just had my rotator cuff...

Beautiful photos! Just bought a telemark set-up. Once I get reasonably decent, I'll be out there too! (Next year) Sandy

I hope he heals well, that is a nasty place to break a leg!
