Gu on long hikes. Lots of food during the hike. Gatorade and water. And aspirin when my knees start really hurting.

I like Owl's Head and even Tecumseh. Hale is a possibility. I would even consider Cabot (I like the Horn). But in all honesty, I don't like the snow, so keep your stupid foot of snow, give me SUMMER, and all 48!

Just back from St. Croix! That was a fantastic weekend. First, congrats to Chinook for getting HERSELF through that Cabot hike. It was all you... we were just there cheering you on. Second, Drew, Yammy, Mebster, Christine, and Rache: you guys are the best. Great job on the kinsman hike, and...

Thanks for the head's up. I'll look into it.

I usually go with the same group of people. In this case, I think you gain a certain level of trust in those people, and realize that if, God forbid, something where to go very wrong, your group has people who can get things done under pressure. Often, during hikes, I go through hypotheticals...

I woke up Saturday morning with pure adrenaline. Sure, I drank that cup of coffee, but I didn’t need it. The weather was gorgeous and extremely warm for February. Pulling into the Rocky Branch Trail parking lot at 0753, I was met by several people who, in just a short span of about six...

Thanks everyone! I'll put together my T/R tonight. WHAT A GREAT TIME!!!

Water Crossings Weather should be nice for the Isolation hike tomorrow, but there is some concern about the water crossings. With ice bridges melted and today's weather coming through, this could be a challenge. If you are going tomorrow, please plan for the water crossings. Anyone have any...

Lincoln Woods... hahaha. I'll have to make my way there at some point, won't I. :D

Awesome T/R and Pics as always, Mebster! Looks like an awesome time!!! :)

I'm going to guestimate finishing at 5 pm or so, then off to Shannondoor. Abster is looking to make a reservation for about six. I think that should work. Weather looks on and off for Sat, but so long as it isn't going to be completely horrible, I'm planning on still going for it. Yes MEB...

The highs: the stories of friends, and watching them succeed and triumph in the mountains. Laughing with friends and enjoying life. Coming back with great memories and stories, and reliving those memories through stories, pictures, and phrases. The lows: Some of the sad stories and events...

Grab something before hitting the Merit (and getting the hell out of southern CT!!!). But yeah, it is great to have one in Stamford! :D

I love looking at the stars on an unbelievably clear night. I may be inclined to check this out some time in the future. The most unbelievable star gazing I did was on a cool day on board a ship in the middle of the Atlantic. It was around 2 am, I was on watch standing on the bridge wing, and...

I have a pair of them too and like them. The strap isn't too difficult to negotiate and it holds well on my Sorels. The grip is fantastic.

That's me. That franconia hike was awesome... I had a great time. It was great meeting you. I think the post-hike gameplan is to go to the Shannon Door Pub afterwards. More details to follow.

Right now, I'm anticipating that there will be a good amount of people. A few people who consider themselves "slower" have decided to start earlier, but I am not sure yet about the details on when and where. There may also be a group starting from a different location in order to best protect...

I love skiing Wildcat... and that trail is nice because of its length!

Dr. Wu... when I heard that you were on the hike and that we passed you, I couldn't help but think of that set of posts (Artex' hiking **** thread) in which you made the argument that you might not exist. Does this mean that I can claim a Dr. Wu sighting? Or is this more or less like seeing a...

I forgot my camera too, and what a bad day to forget it... the views were AMAZING :mad: ! I dropped a "hello" or "how you doin'?" to everyone I saw, but like everyone else, it was impossible to pick out someone unless you expected to see him/her. Glad everyone enjoyed themselves and stayed...
