Cool, thanks for bringing this up Lenny. I didn't know it was such an interesting place to hike - I've hardly even ever heard of it.

hmmm, from DougPaul's link: The Dry River Bridge is not passable. The bridge is 2.9 miles from Rt 302, on the Dry River Trail, in the Presidential-Dry River Wilderness. The bridge spans a particularly volatile river crossing that is difficult and potentially hazardous during times of low flow...

some friends and I are considering using this trail as we head up to Eisenhower tomorrow. We haven't been able to find any recent info on conditions there. If anyone can clue us in to the likelyhood of the water crossings being high and dificult it would be appreciated. Also, what's the story on...

When on Mendon last weekend we were SWARMED with black flies :mad: but at least the mosquitos were very small in number. With sufficient reapplications of repellant we were able to avoid too many bites but with such big swarms it's hard to keep them out of the eyes, ears, nose and throat :p

thanks for the info J&J. I think I might have gotten lucky on Crescent: I pushed through the trees a bit and climbed up on a bump. I scanned around looking for higher points to head to and there was the cannister right in my face :D

So the true summit of Randolph is off the trail? Aargh! Well, at least I managed to find the cannister on Crescent when I was there back in January - though I wasn't able to open the jar since it was frozen. I didn't see anyone at all that day (there weren't even any human tracks in the snow...

Thanks for letting me tag along! While I realize this was pretty easy as bushwhacks go, it whet my appetite for more!

Just spent my first night there and found it to be very nice. Very clean, nice big building with many bunk rooms. Large common area/living room with books and TV/VCR, kitchen, bathroom had two showers with good hot water. Staff was very friendly and actually quite knowledgable about hiking...

I don't think I've ever gotten such a good upper body workout on a hike before :D . It was very satisfying to clear the trail for those to follow. It was also nice knowing we left some of the bigger ones for the real trail croo to deal with :rolleyes: . Thanks to AndyF for his trip report last...

I also started mostly hiking solo and have kept track of the peaks that I've summitted that way. 17 of the 48 at this point if I remember correctly. Now that I've made so many friends through the boards I rarely hike solo, but eventually I hope to get to all of them by myself.

10 works for me. Forcast, last I saw, was a 50% chance of rain...

thinking of hiking the Doubleheads this Sunday but don't see Dundee Rd listed in the road closure link. ANyone know what the deal is with this road? Thanks

OK, I'm in. What's the start time? Flatbread afterwards sounds cool - I've never been there but will take your word for it EB. It'll take me about 3.5 hours to get to the southern trailhead. Any chance you two could set up the carspot without me?

One of the more interesting longer hikes I'm looking at for this year is this range crossing the NH/ME border. I'll be heading up to Eastman first, then heading northeast across the Baldfaces, Eagle Crag and the Royces. Starting time will be 6:00am. The NUMBERS: 17.8 miles, 6600' of...

I've only been hiking for a few years now so use the lists mostly as a guide to help me keep seeing new places. I've finished the any season 48 and am well along the way to completing the 52WAY, Y-Alpine, LPNP, T3000, etc I do keep track of the months and seasons that I've been to the peaks...

The CAST: rocksnrolls (the instigator), PoisonIvy (rear guard), Amicus (back after 20 years), AndyF (on a long vacation) and Leaf (our newest boardmember) The GOAL: head up to Passaconaway via the Wonalancet Range, bagging Mt Wonalancet, Hibbard Mtn, Wonalancet Hedgehog, and Nanamocomuck Peak...

I was with a group that headed up the Wonalancet Range toward Passaconaway that day and we wondered why, despite the large numbers of cars in the lot, there didn't look like there had been much traffic on the Rollins Tr (or Diceys Mill for that matter). Now we know - the trail's a mess of...

Starting time will be 9am. I've got several ROTters considering joining, any VFTTers interested?

for anyone wondering about the listbagging involved in this hike: 52 With A View: Hibbard Square Ledge T3000 and Least Prominant Named Peaks: Hedgehog Nanamocomuck unlisted: Wonalancet :( plus of course Passaconaway is on a bunch of lists...
