I really enjoyed this event last year. In a strange way, it felt like we were doing something positive through all the confusion to remember in our own individual ways, while paying our respects as a collective group. Thanks again to Silent Cal and all others who organize this. I'll be on...

I haven't done a marathon, but a half-marathon, and thought the Presi Traverse was much easier. In fact, I would say that the Wildcats-Carters-Moriah traverse starting at Glenn Ellis Falls is harder than the full Presi-Traverse. With the Presi Traverse, you can stop, and eat, and socialize...

Yeah, that was the Wilderness Trail and no, we weren't saying way to go. We said put on clothes! As for me: 1. No 2. No 3. I really can't see that happening... unless someone spiked my camelpack.

Last September, I took a week off of work and was camped out. It was after Labor Day so the campsite was all mine. I got back to the campsite after dark and started a fire and just relaxed. I heard some noise from an adjacent site, but remembered that one other person was staying on the...

Have fun, DB... but I suggest BOTH ice cream and beer! Best way to unwind after a great hike!

Mike, good call with Appalachia. You can also park at the Cog and head up the amonoosuk, hit Monroe, Washington, take different trails up there, hit Jefferson, then come down the Jewell.

Great T/R, DB. Do you have an Ibruprofen (as opposed to a PEZ) dispenser of Bugs Bunny's head for the advil? J/K. Good Job!

You can do a lot out of the Pemi while parking at Lincoln Woods (I love that place). For example, you could go up the Wilderness Trail then head across the flat trails (though I'm sure VERY wet trails) to the northern side of the Pemi, then head up to Guyot Shelter, then come back down via the...

Awesome T/R Sleeping Bear. Sounds like you all had a blast!!!!

Great T/R Mike! Glad you have been able to get back out there.

Great job SQUEAKY!!! FYI, your father's first active river crossings mountain was enroute to Owl's Head. HIS boots weren't waterproof either!!! haha! GREAT JOB!

WOO HOO!! Way to go Tine! Now Bonds to go. I'm definitely going... Great T/R as usual.

I answered could be talked into it. I think Giggy said it best with the superbowl reference. But I also think of it this way: Some mornings, I feel like I can climb Everest. By evening, I have troubles climbing the stairs. And like the Superbowl where I can only imagine myself throwing...

Have fun. The Horn is nice, especially on a clear day!

I thought "Alligator Eggs" was the final answer. I saw MEB hike the Franconia Ridge from Lafayette to Lincoln Woods saying "Alligator Eggs" over and over to all people she encountered. Seems like others remembered it too.

It was great seeing the three of you upon your return. Amy, Your TR sounds great. And as always, the "Bopsy Twins" really add new flavor to ANY hut :D . See you soon.

Isolation Jefferson Carrigain I'm biased because I finished on Isolation, but it was incredible.

I'm hoping that since I am new to hiking, most of my costs are simply front-end "needed" items and that I will not need to buy so much this coming year. Wishful thinking, I guess. :rolleyes:

Dave, you are definitely right about seeing a doctor before making any presumptions and self-medicating. My stretches are typical stretches good for anyone running/exercising. Honestly, I've just accepted my knee pains as something with which I have to deal. Not that big of a deal. They have...

THIS IS IT!!! I have had been knee pains all my life. I LIVE on pain killers for it. When I was six, my parents brought me to a knee doctor who said it was growing pains. I'm not really a 'going to the doctor' type of guy. I think I'll set an appt. and mention this to him/her. Thanks for...
