Grumpygran, You are an inspiration and a model to follow. Nine times the 48 - that is really incredible. Good for you and keep on hiking your hike. Betsy

Amazing photos. Thanks for sharing them. I have really enjoyed my northern NH hiking adventures on both the east and the western sides of the state. There is some rich hiking up there, and definitely worth the drive.

I think he was out to lunch when we got there. . . .

We made some good progress this year, but still have many miles to go. This list has some interesting peaks and really challenges my map and compass skills. But, they are very rewarding and fun!

My hiking friend, Hufflepuff, and I decided to try for one more of the NHHH before the weather required full winter gear. We planned to do a loop hike on the Zealand Trail, to Lend-a-Hand hitting South Hale and Mt. Hale. We followed the advice of prior bushwackers who recommended heading off...

I always enjoy your posts talking about unusual places, and the outstanding photos with unique perspectives. Keep them coming!

Bummer. I have conflicts almost every Tuesday with regular monthly meetings. But, I will try to get out with the group at some point in time. You are right - I checked my hiking log: Mt. Israel on Jan. 22 with Helen and Karen. Somehow it was hard for me to reconcile your picture with...

That would be great. I have a friend in Maine who I hike with in summer, but she doesn't get over here much in the winter. I just started to winter hike last year - newbie.

Cindersmom, You are in good company having turned back on the Scar Ridge bushwack attempt. When I went last year, I was with one hiker on his third try. We were lucky last November on our bushwack that there was no snow on the ground or on the trees, so we had pretty good traction. Good luck...

Great meal plan Bigfoot, Wonderful accomplishment and perservering when you had to go it along. I am just glad that we got to go together to the Scar Ridge, and we will put another trip together soon. I love your choice of celebration food! Very nice, too, that Gypsy could go along. I love...

This was a hike to a rather obscur peak just west of Moosilauke and near the AT in Glencliff, NH. My hiking partner, Hufflepuff, and I decided to approach from the East by the Tunnel Brook Trial. (Thanks to DocRoss and his helpful TR's) We walked up about 2 miles to about 2200 feet and started...

What a great way to start the fall season. Ambitious hike with lots of 'highlights'. Thanks for posting.

Congratulations on your finish! :) Your photos make the most of a partly cloudy day. Well done.

Your report and especially the photos remind me, and others too, why we get ourselves out of bed at ungodly hours, drive for hours, suffer cuts, bruises, black flies, mosquitoes, and dirty, sweaty bodies: because the rewards are infinite, and often indescribable!!!:) I wonder what we all...

I still have a copy; we haven't gone to the dump!! PM me if you want me to send it.

Many thanks. I think that WODC is in charge of the trails, and I know they can use the help.

Mt. Chocorua via Champney Falls, Piper Trail, Brook Trail, Beeline, Bolles Trail Trail Conditions: Champney Falls is delightful and well maintained. Beeline is underused and thus has many blow downs, some of which I could not remove. Bolles Trail is wet with broken bridges on the Tamworth...

I saw your photo in the Concord Monitor (Wed. Sept. 2), on page B3!! It is an awesome photo, and others must also agree. Congratulations!

Thank you, Sabrina! Dot is the one who inspires me - she is amazing, and NEVER tires of hiking to a new place. Betsy

I am very glad you asked. Compare this to your shot! The East peak is in the foreground. Betsy
