clearly one of my many other snow correspondents....

many thanks! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2253192&l=1b172&id=417884

oops - sorry - didn't realize they weren't viewable by all - if someone could give me a quick tutorial for how to make them show up here in the message I'll do that. It's rare to see Franconia Ridge so clear in January!

This trip report dates to sunday Jan 4th and I'm writing it now on the "better late than never" theory. The trip also got started a little late, for a really dumb reason: I arranged to meet Mardi (Fat Tuesday) at a park and ride in Andover Mass at 6:30 a.m. so we could carpool together. I was...

nice trip report. seeing as i rang in the new year in a booth at Frank's Steak House, you've got me beat!

experience is nice, but honestly, you'll get all the backpacking experience you need in the first two weeks. it's the mental part that's more important to completing the hike. lots of people (with all levels of hiking experience) step off springer mountain and start talking about how great...

trail journals www.trailjournals.com is my favorite. It has day-by-day journals of hundreds of AT hikers going back several years. i'm not sure there's any real way to prepare for the AT besides having the desire to do it and getting in good physical shape. When I thru-hiked I saw people...

those are some nice photos ... i'm pretty psyched to find this site has ski people on it too! if anyone's ever looking for someone to ski with, please let me know!

thanks - hey keep me in the loop for future hikes and vftt stuf! however, i think I'm likely to be busy for the next several weekends... it's been awhile since i've done much outdoorsy stuff on a consistent basis - whenever i do it it whets my appetite for more, though i often get stuck here in...

yeah, that was in a different spot with a longer run. you could really let the box do it's thing there. anway, i dispute the description of my ride as "pathetic" - that was a double-black diamond leap i flew off!

bears i saw a bear and a moose about 2 hours into the first hike i ever did in the whites, (the hancocks) about 15 years ago. i thought the place was a petting zoo, but i've never seen a bear in the whites since. other parts of the northeast have lots more; i've encountered them in maine and...

Indeed. I got one video clip of a not very successful ride. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk5zEmLgu7g

hey! as the junior-most member of this website, i thought i was assigned to write the trip report? harumph! does this mean i don't get my 'greenie'? anyway, your trip report was comprehensive and excellent, and far more professional and relevant than mine would have been. i probably would've...

Wright Trail Hey Does anyone want to try the Wright Trail up to Goose Eye Mtn this weekend? My partner just bailed on me!!!!

hmm - do you know roughly how many miles that 'few' miles is?

oh and one other thing - I suspect this trail isn't hiked that commonly. I assume I should expect to break trail on this one. (Feel free to tell me that Cub Scout troops are tramping up and down this trail every weekend)....

Hi Long-time lurker here, finally getting in on the posting: I've never done the Wright Trail up to Goose Eye Mountain. In fact, the only time I'm ever been on Goose Eye was on a summer thru-hike six years ago, so my memory of it is hazy. My question for this well-informed community is this...

Hi At some point this winter, Route 113 in Maine will close. I know they put a gate across the road about a half mile south of Route 2, but does anyone know how much of the road you can drive by approaching from the south? It's a long road that goes all the way to Fryeburg, and then some, so I...

looked pretty good! looked pretty good!
