I've always liked Parker's Motel.

A very pretty hike indeed, and bugs haven't chewed half the leaves off yet. The white flower is a violet, perhaps Canada violet (Viola canadensis); the pink ones are maiden pinks (Dianthus deltoides), cousins to carnations.

The Split Rock hike sounds good for Friday. On Saturday we'd like to climb one of the 46'ers that Marge hasn't done yet: maybe Big Slide.

Thanks. We'll be there if we don't stay in Elizabethtown.

Enforced idleness stinks, doesn't it? Heal quickly... This is a good time to remind people not to remove the boot if a sprain or break is suspected. Better to tighten up the laces a bit, if anything. It will give you a better chance of walking out, if you can walk at all, and will keep the...

How about Thursday night camping? Will the group site be available?

Wow, sounds like Barren is still the Beast of the East! Congrats are in order.

The pinch on the hand isn't reliable when you get older, kiddies. :( I can tell by running my tongue on the roof of my mouth, and if the front-to-back groove is pronounced, I start drinking more.

Great photos, Michelle, I need to go back after so many years. And thanks to Chris for doing the trailwork!

Thanks Rickie!

Oh dear, the bear truth... :D:o

When Feds are involved, or presumably the WMNF, details can be found here: http://home.nps.gov/applications/morningreport/index.cfm

From the M-S website: Can I park a car long term at Mt.Sunapee (the ski area)? Typically yes, but call them before and check, 603-763-2356.

Thanks for the honeysuckle ID, nartreb. I'd always wondered what the shrub with the red twin berries was. The twinberry honeysuckle (black berries) (L. involucrata) is very common out west.

My gripe with the index is that it didn't indicate where you could find the trail description and had to search all the referenced pages to find it.

The 4th one (unknown shrub) looks like Diervilla lonicera (northern bush honeysuckle)

Scilla sibirica (Siberian squill) My yard is full of them...they seed generously.

Pat, try the upper section of the Semuhenna.

Pat and I headed to Sunapee yesterday to ski the leftover snow but were told by a woman at the Spruce Lodge (don't know her position) that we were not allowed. What with all the rules at Wildcat, Cannon, etc., we wanted to be good citizens and asked the question. Their website states that...

Wachusett had trailing arbutus and spring beauty blooming on 3/28. The hobblebush buds were well along in protected spots. And we found a stand of cranberries along the way.
