Hats off to Jade and RocksnRolls. They were the last ones to make their way to our little aid station south of the Mt Clay southern junction. It took determination and a really positive attitude to finish what they started. All the training that they had done the previous two months was...

Flags on the 48 September 9th 2006 On Sept. 9, 2006, the 5th annual "Flags on the 48" memorial hike to the summit of each of the 48 - 4,000 foot summits in New Hampshire, will take place in memory of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. The first hike was an informal and...

Sunday is the only day I can do it. But by all means, do it Saturday if that's what works with more people.

Just curious as to which day this is. The subject title says Saturday, while in the text it says maybe Sunday. I can only do the latter.

Can't make it next week, I got some business to take care of in New Hampshire. But let me when we re-schedule this one.

I guess we can't complain about the weather. Our last four hikes have been stellar. Is Bascom Lodge or whatever they are calling it nowadays open yet? Just drop me a line on whatever is figured out. I'm pulling a very long day at work on Saturday and won't be around until late.

I can give anyone a ride back to the beginning of the section if anyone needs it. Plus I'll have water in my trunk for everyone. I don't mind starting early for this one if that's what the group wants.

Yes, those little buggers were quite pestersome. The only place they did not seem to bother us was in town on the roadwalk. We mused quite a bit about thru-hikers and their experiences of coming directly through a town after enjoying the woods for so long. For the section that I was on...

I use Ciba Vision Night and Day. I can usually get a month out of them without taking them out. I will sometimes pull them out for a night and let them soak overnight and then just pop them back in. Usually, before I head up to the Whites for more than a week, I toss my old pair out and put...

If it wasn't for a thing called Easter dinner, I woulda been there. Glad to hear you guys had a good trip. Nice to see the humor level at our usually low standards as well. :D

The weather was indeed one of the highlights. It's really nice to be able to see things far on the horizon without summer haze. The views from Mt. Brace were outstanding. Mt Alander too is another gem. I love to see those stone walls out in the middle of the woods. They seem to show up...

I googled for info on that plane crash and could not find any. Does anyone know of a resource which lists planes crashes in a particular area? I would like to look up some of the history of the bombers that crashed on Mt. Tom and Mt. Holyoke in the 40's. Truly a great day to be out in the...

Congrats on your new arrival Mike! Make sure his first steps are with trekking poles! :D

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery to a first class individual! Cathie and I wish you the best!

Super Job!! Hope to get a chance to do some miles with you guys this summer!! Congrats!

Sounds like he might have gotten lost somewhere past Rattlesnake Knob. If I remember correctly the Amherst/Granby line is denoted on the trail by a metal pole with a "G" on side of it and an "A" on the other side. The M/M trail and Robert Frost trails drop down from Rattlesnake Knob into an...

Hey Congrats again! It was a pleasure to hike with you folks and get some good advice on winter hiking and Maine destinations. Grace remarked on the way home that she did not have high hopes for a long slog in the rain but was very glad to have been proven wrong and able to meet such nice...

MichaelJ - Thanks for keeping everyone informed here. Your a class act and I'm really glad to have taken part with you in this project over the last couple years. It's too bad we could not have shared a couple brews at the Mooseland. We'll move back to a saturday event next year!

AWESOME PIC Glenn! Very Nice to have met you Tom at the Mooseland! Hope you can hike the event again next year!!

While there is minor behind the scenes work to be done, It's the hikers that make this event what it is. Kudos go to all of those who took part. I want to know who bribes Mother Nature for this weekend. Fourth year in a row we have great weather for this. Jaytrek - gets extra kudos for...
