Once went to do the Kinsmans from the new Mt. Kinsman Trail and the lot was not plowed and even my pickup could not get in...and damaged my bumper trying to plow through a frozen plowed snowbank on the ever popular 19 Mile Brook trailhead (two days after snowstorm)...peakbagger gives good advice...

Ha at least we knew enough to bring crocs!! did not matter as one croc got busted in the muck, went in at 5'11" and came out at 5'9"....a good area to do leach studies...hard to believe it was a railroad grade in there...but you are right Michelle as from in the swamp there are nice views of...

Time to reacquaint familiar trails and a close to home one, Speck Pond, Mahoosuc, and May Cutoff over Mahoosuc Arm..Success Pond road still has it's bumpy areas just go slow...plenty of parking at the trailhead or nearby...3 vehicles today..water crossings easy on Sucker Brook as level was...

Trails: Great Gulf, Madison Gulf, Osgood, Howker Ridge, Pine Link. Trails were in good shape, with only a few obstacle blowdowns on Madison Gulf trail...some running water up higher on Madison Gulf...water crossings easy due to low water levels on all of them...at the wooden ladder on the...

That trail is a link in the Cohos Trail and is described in the Cohos Trail guidebook, page 125 (2000, 2004 copyright, there might be a later edition)...1.2 miles on the WMG map..one can see the brown wooden post with yellow blaze on Rt. 110 shortly after the entrance of South Pond Rd, and it...

kl was it difficult doing your run with waders on?? We were lucky enough to complete the Rob Brook Trail before it was closed and we were swimming with muskrats and beavers that day!! Church Pond was not much better about a year ago....will have to check it out again!!

How about the Adirondack Mountain Club's High Peaks Trails, 14th edition?? The descriptions given of High Peaks that have maintained trails to them do show the elevation gain and mileages, while the High Peaks with "herd paths" to the summits appear not to have the same info...course we NH ites...

Trails: York Pond, Bunnell Notch, Kilkenny Ridge, Cabot Spring spur, Unknown Pond Trail for exit. Bunnell Notch trail: could use some attention as some areas have golden rod and berry bushes head high down low, with clogged drainages after the sharp left turn...a few blowdowns... Kilkenny Ridge...

Excellent job, really like the pic of the hut, lakes and Mt. Washington!!

Trails: Notch Trail: in good shape, maintainers have been doing a good job; one new blowdown early on. Mahoosuc Trail: no major obstacles (other than the Notch itself!!). Grafton Loop Trail (west): footbed smoother for the most part, than the rocky Mahoosuc..maybe a half dozen obstacle blowdowns...

Dry River Cutoff also has some damage from Irene near the jct with Mt Ike Trail, where you actually need to walk in the brook channel to find the trail...other than that it's passable, at least it was in early June

Way to go Michelle!! Priscilla and I (plus all your other hiker friends) really enjoyed some of the trails with you and we value your friendship!!

Just a group of hard core canoers hitting Lakes of the Clouds before ice in......

Most likely you'll have to have microspikes, crampons, and snowshoes with you most of the time...there have been plenty of hikes where hikers have used all three in one hike...I use the MSR's Denali Ascents, 22 inches, but look like the "short" ones you described...they serve the purpose for me...

Trails: Rocky Branch from Rt. 16, Isolation, Davis Path and Isolation Spur, Davis spur, Stairs spur, Stairs Col and out Rocky Branch to spotted vehicle at end of Jericho Rd. All trails in good shape, minimal blowdowns and only an overgrown bushy area or two on Davis Path north of Stairs Mt...

Some people say Scorpio's is really good (it always full with motorcyclists) and there is also an Irish Pub (JL O Sullivan's I think)....both would be on the right side of downtown Lancaster as you travel southbound....both have outside deck too...sure you will find something, as we North...

Spotted vehicle early this AM at Nancy Pond Trailhead on Rt. 302 and drove over Bear Notch Rd to Hancock parking. Trails used were Hancock Notch Trail, Cedar Brook Trail, Wilderness Trail, Carrigain Notch Trail, and Nancy Pond Trail out to Rt. 302. All water crossings done easily...just a few...

The ditch near the Speck Pond trailhead has been repaired...but as above posters have noted, conditions are rough so allow extra time....

Congratulations in advance!! Hope the summit you saved for last has a nice view, with the moon and clear skies...!
