The Thermolite Sleeping Pad http://www.advancedmountainproducts.com/products/Thermolite/ looks like a thermally efficient design at an extremely low weight and would probably be good if used with a Prolite 3 (or other inflatible) on top. Anyone with experience with this or similar combis.

Hey Doc, When your back to 100% we'll have the routes packed down ;) Recover fast. NH, The pics of the summer slide were great.

Welcome aboard! Trailhead 6:30am, Monday, March 6th, from Beaver Brook parking lot. Galehead and S. Twin, A good forecast and less wind than the last 3 months :rolleyes: Out and back route. New snow means trail breaking so the more the merrier . Hey Arm, Frodo and Mountain Girl, you guys...

Gotta be rough to turnaround after all that prep,anticipation and expense. Good decisions save lives. We'll welcome them back with real snow and the type of winds they've become accustomed to. They'll feel right at home.

Good info on the software differences. Merci.

Of course but in order to set track we need snow and there is none to speak of.

Thank you Mike, you can imagine how glad I (and we the BMT) are to be back in the woods again. I hope to hike with you soon. Warm wishes, CS

Nice honest report with good humor. Maybe you got away with one. I told each of my kids: Hope that when you make a mistake it costs you little, but you learn much. Sounds like you had a personnal epihany of sorts. We all can empathize with you!!! ;) Good luck with the little one. You will...

I've had the Garmin 76CS GPS for 3 months and have used it 5 times on the trail. A couple of caveats on Map Source: 1. As other posts have said the graphics are sophmoric/bland and at times mystifying. EG: The towns they chose to use on the maps are obscure, hardly populated locations so you...

Ive looked at the Wild Things pants and they look like a good pant for a bivy or unusually bad conditions. (last week up high?) Now I use med weight MtHardwear fleece with XCR full zip shell pants and ust under the knee Mt.H XCR gaitors which give a triple layer down low below the knee where...

How about a Caribbean Rock tune. That we could do. CS/BMT and The Cocabanana Band

Yes, Beaver Brook is definately the way to go. I walked it yesterday and the Beaver Brook xc trail plus walk across the logging clearing to the road save about a mile from the tedious road walk. Took 25 minutes from lot to Trailhead taking time to move deadwood etc. Still only 3 inches of snow...

Good stuff, great pics in some seeemingly difficult circumstances. The tree may be a sapling Beech which is the default regrowth tree in those parts. Is that slide to the right of the gravel wash out to the left at approx 2200 ft as you go up the GRT. It looks like a pretty straighforward climb...

My Silva compass, still pointing to magnetic north.

Pictures of feline tracks on Engine Hill When we hiked out of Rocky Branch shelter iup the back side of Engine Hill in Decwmber 4 years ago, we saw feline prints. It was unique in that they were fresh and they were in a trace of new snow which had just started falling. Also we got photos of...

Many thanks Bob and Geri. I was wondering if it was still there. Good news. Be well,

Yes, no matter how you navigate it's a bit confusing. I found after several times summiting Reddington that the key was to stay left where my instinct wants to go right: Excerpted from Mohammed's excellent site: "Take the road that goes to the left (not shown on the map), and follow it. You will...

Can someone give me a heads up on the parking situation for the Gale River Trail? Can a couple of cars fit in at the Rte 3 road entrance? Merci CS/BMT

Arm's Aconcagua web site Yes they're 3 "good uns" as they say. We wish them well. Arm sent me the web site URL detailing their trip and proposed route. http://armmon.tripod.com/id13.html Climb on Frodo, MountainGirl and Arm!!
