Lot's of fun! Talk later..a few people left some things there...lawn chair and tent, hope you guys went back to get it.

Go figure, i plan this 3 months ago and it's going to rain on Friday. Hmmm, just like the gathering 9 years ago. Madtownie, skimom, Poison Ivy,hikerBob, remember that crazy rainy freezing day? Still going up Thursday. Looks like possibly Mt Waumbeck (sp?) on Friday.

Sounds good, remember this time some good food for cooking. Wonder if JayH will show up if he hears the "iron skillet" is already packed for the trip!

IndianChris and I will set up a tarp/shelter hopefully Thursday late afternoon/evening. It's possible that on the way up there (coming from downstate NY) we will hike some type of volcanic ring near there. We will bring up some type of fire ring (I imagine the camp grounds are frozen over) and...

Yep, thinking the same thing about bringing a fire ring, talk to you later about it.

Cold, come on man, remember the -17F in the Catskills and we both forgot the tent! :eek: Will lend you the Goliath to double up your bag. My daughters school just lost that Friday of the Presidents week vacation. Glad I work for the "city that never sleeps" for now.:rolleyes:

MattD, good to hear from you, will check out maps for your hike.

Getting closer. Getting a lot of snow down here in the NYC area. Hopefully we don't have school closings and they take away my February vacation up there. Still planning on arriving up Thursday mid afternoon. Hike on Friday and hopefully Saturday depending on weather. Please chime in if...

Didn't notice the fire rings when we drove around, hopefully they're not to buried under snow or ice...I will buy some wood from locals near there...wish we had a warming tent like Sherpa provided years ago..it was a serious carport type... I was thinking about some type of Home Depot tarp but...

It's almost February!

Thanks everyone...used the park and ride...saw some other out of state plates, was comfortable...

Just wondering where I could leave my car for an overnight? Would like to save miles and join others on the way up further north. Walmart? Park and Ride? Forum members for a fee? Leaving early tomorrow, sorry for last second question. Good to know for next time. Thx

Marty, what does "stake" mean in that weather report? Amount of packed snow?

Thank you, was checking out accuweather

Thanks Peakbagger... staying at a vftt members place Sat night. Going to hike up the 19 mile trail and sleep over at the hut. My nephew MattD and Liz (need a trail name) will do some peak bagging while I bag some ice for my knees and read a good book. Looking forward to some NE views and cool...

Could you possibly pm me some phone numbers, going up there this Saturday. Will also call up Barnes Field and possibly test out the grounds for the night. Supposed to stay at Carter Hut Sunday night with others. Thanks

Going up to NH this weekend, Carter Hut. Updates on conditions would be appreciated. Going to Bring snowshoes, microspikes and crampons, heard most are just carrying the snowshoes. Thanks

Seems just like yesterday...will never forget the hike the day before my "beginner" snowshoe hike with Carol also. The newbi here learned what "trail breaking" was from the experienced ones. I'm thinking they set me up, but all was good. So many nice folks. I wonder if others will volunteer...

Thank you!
