I'm thinking for my 3rd day in the area I'll hike to Square Ledge. The route for that might be up Kelley, west on Lawrence, north on Square Ledge Tr, with a return via Walden Tr and Old Mast Rd. Might add a trip to Passaconaway (for my 2nd round of the 48) while I'm at it. Perhaps I'll also...

OK, sounds like I'll do the Piper/Nickerson/Carter variation, adding more if the weather is great and I'm feeling like adding more distance. Thanks all!

thanks for all the info. Sounds like it'll be a lot easier than my hike last week (West Scar Ridge :eek: )

Planning a trip to Chocorua and the Sisters next week. I've seen a trip report from back in May saying the Carter Ledge Tr can be hard to follow. Has anyone been on it lately? Would the ledge be particularly dangerous if it's wet? I'm thinking an ascent of Carter Ledge Tr and descent via...

I'm planning a hike to Paugus next week - probably via Big Rock Cave Tr, Old Paugus Tr, Lawrence Tr and Cabin Tr (counterclockwise). Can anyone offer any info on the true summits? From what I can gather in the WMG, South Paugus is at the junction of Lawrence and Old Paugus, but the guide doesn't...

It was a true pleasure to hike with you Buckyball! It would have been even better to make it to the summit with you and SC, but I'm sure I'll long remember the adventure Dugan and I had on our way out. I guess that's what I get for saying Scar shouldn't be too easy :rolleyes: I guess I'll...

Yeah, pretty steep bike ride south out of the notch. I did that last year, in November (or was it October?) to hike Ethan Pond Tr to the AZ to bag Tom. Rode my breaks almost all the way down from the Webster Jackson TH. So cold I had to keep switching which eye I had open to keep 'em from...

thanks for the food for thought!

Sunday Sept 2nd the plan: Fire Warden's Tr to Mt Hale, whack to East Hale, descend via Lend-A-Hand and Zealand Trs the group: NewHampshire and The Jeneral, SilentCal and Grace, Amicus, ScenicNh, Dougeh, rlc (the only Hale virgin in the group), Dugan and me the result: well, we saw the herd...

I'm just starting to get into 'whacking and have been contemplating this subject: I've read somewhere (maybe in Waterman's "Wilderness Ethics") that when bushwhacking, hikers in groups should try to follow slightly different routes so as to lessen the concentration of damage to the vegetation...

Spent my last night at Lyon's on Saturday :( and again had the place to myself. Had a nice chat with Doug and Naruko and wish them all the best. I hope to be able to hit some trails with you two soon! You've all got one last weekend to stay there and thank them for their hospitality...

Owl's Head was the only one of the 48 that I failed to summit on my first attempt - an icy October day when I didn't have any traction aids. Headed back in February and loved it! I plan to head there again this fall hopefull, by way of the Twins and 13 Falls as a backpacking trip. I'd also like...

The Class The day dawned with sweet hiking weather - cool and mostly sunny. It would have been a perfect day to go climb some high peaks somewhere, but I had to go to school instead :rolleyes: Hopping into my car with Dugan and cantdog, I silently grumbled to myself. Well, only a little...

When I hiked Cabot, I went in via Unknown Pond visited The Horn (well worth it for the views!), The Bulge, Cabot and continued to traverse Terrace Mtn, which has some nice views as well, especially from the southern peak - of the north side of Waumbek/Starr King. Came down the York Pond Tr which...

Oh yeah, forgot that part :o . Doug told me that a large part of the business at Lyon's pre-9/11 was european toruists and that dropped off almost completely afterward. I'm not sure what year he and his wife bought it

Sorry to say I heard from the owners this past weekend that they've managed to sell the place. Sad to hear that what was once a thriving business, pre-9/11, was no longer making enough to survive. They say the new owner reportedly plans to keep the laundromat open but is unsure what will be...

thanks for the info. Guess I won't need my crampons then :D . If I get a really hot day I might just have to head there

thanks Amy! I've never managed to find any info on that crash site either. Now if I can only figure out what all those abbreviations mean :D

that's pretty much what I ended up doing the first time I tried following the Lithia Springs Tr back to my car after traversing the ridge. btw, I highly recommend the Black Rock Tr
