Tuesday 2 for 1 was a great way to get to know some really cool members to this site. My climbing needs MUCH improvement, but a fun time was had by all, and I encourage anyone else who wants a fun workout to join us!! My climbing shoes were killing my feet. I may follow Mike's lead and climb in...

When are the dates? I'd love to get to Baxter. Keep me in the loop on this. Sandy

Silverfox: I am glad to see you came through this procedure well. I hope you make a speedy recovery. When you are ready, we can do some 'rehab hikes' as I'm still not sure what my knee will be like this summer. (I know it isn't liking winter too much:() Stay healthy. Sandy

No recommendations , but CONGRATULATIONS!!! Please post a trip report when you return. Have fun. Sandy

Please add me to your list. sounds like fun. Sandy

I chose 5 hours, but that would be likely end up being the next day, as I usually don't get back to the trailhead till late afternoon or early evening.( do not usually hike alone in winter). I have atrigger finger husband, so unless he heard from me within a reasonable time period, he would be...

Wonderful TR Dave. I'm learning tele and I can only hope to get out in spectacular powder. A trip of a lifetime, I'm sure. Sandy

Pockets, multiple and deep. At least one zippered for valubles. Quick drying. Adjustable length. ie; drawstrings up the side seams. loose fitting. Adjustable waistband (elastic looks kinda dorky) wide enough at the bottom hem so high stepping is possible (and to pretend we ARE Marilyn Monroe on...

Interestng discussion. I didn't think that the hikers code required us to be in groups.. Like Wardsgirl, I am the slowest hiker in any group, and since I do not want to have everyone go at my slow pace, I just go by myself. I like the solitude. I actually am overprepared for emergencies, always...

Cath: Thank you for the informative post on 'Moose Talk' I was the recipient of the hair rising, lip licking "scolding" in BSP. When we ducked behind a huge boulder, we noticed her calf behind us. We froze and stayed DEAD SILENT until they moved on. Never want to feel that scared again! Sandy

A View from the Top is a VFTT. Your pics are beautiful. Post Away! Sandy

I have been reading this thread with interest. I am an AMC member, and I use the trails. I use the gear room at Pinkham, and forgive me for saying this, (HC staff, cover your eyes), have very effectively 'cleaned up' after long sweaty muddy hikes in the bathrooms located right in the lobby. My...

Me too! I had just arrived on the summit from the Kinsman Ridge Trail off the Cannonballs, all grimy and muddy, and this well dressed couple on the loop trail gave me a disgusted look and asked where I came from...I told them Lonesome Lake, and they asked 'where's that'?...Then they told me I...

Carole: I too have this skirt. I hemmed mine, as I found it a bit too long. I hope you enjoy it. Sandy

MEB No problem with the skirt riding up. Mtn Hardwear even has a chamois waistband. To solve the chafing issue, I wear Ibex 'shorties' They come to mid-thigh and do not ride up. They are very cool and do not hold odors. We want to look AND smell like girls out there!!! The skirt in fromt is held...

I'm enjoying this thread alot. I use the Freshette, and I am not yet adept at writing my name in the snow, I'm still on the 'A'...:p I started using this because dropping my pants while in a harness on ice is not recommended. I usually do not use this in the summer,as I hike in a skirt and it is...

Hi I was just at Jackson XC center this WE and they had some nice classic Atomics for cheap. I'm no expert on this, but I found these more than adequate for the in-track skiing you aspire to. This is the best time to strike, while the post-season sales are on. Sandy

Hi Carole: Note my picture. I hike in the mens version of the Mountain Hardware Kilt. Previous posters point out( correctly) that it is longer than the womens skirt. I wear smartwool shorts under it (even in summer). I love the freedom and the coolbreezes:rolleyes: The pockets are deep so I...

I am 100% positive I could get to the Hermit shelter on the TR trail!!!:D

Hi and welcome. The jackets you pictured are more in line with belay jackets. I would not want to hike in them unless I was above treeline in heavy wind in the winter. I use several insulating layers, I like wool. On top of them, I use a shell with pit zips. I get really hot while hiking and I...
