thanks for the trail breaking that everyone did this past week. the trails around these two peaks are really nice right now. I did this hike in less than summer book time today!

anybody else interested?

Bigelow Preserve, Stratton Me 2.0 mile walk in Stratton Brook Rd along road well packed by snowmobiles. Fire Wardens trail from trail head to a few hundred feet short of Avery Col packed out by group of 5 as of today. Many blowdowns that we by-passed, climbed over, or ducked/crawled under...

any body been up there this week?

sort of related to this thread, if I plan on using my 3 season tent in winter does using or not using the footprint make any difference in insulation value? I know a three season tent doesn't have the structural benefit of a winter tent but I'm not concerned about using a footprint for damage by...

the Joe Dodge Lodge at PNVC has a lot of old issues in its library/living room. all the way back to Vol 3 which was 1890-something. very interesting reading

pleasure hiking with you both! I pulled into the driveway at home at just about 5:30 with time for a new years dinner out and then I was out like a light at 9:30!

I was with Earl & Sue today. we thought we saw fresh tracks a few times today but alas we didn't see anyone until we hit Carter Notch. I did find a Canon lens cap near D peak, is it yours?

I've got the NF 0 degree synthetic bag (Snowshoe) and if I had to do it over again, I'd get the -20 Tundra. My 0 degree bag has been fine for the limited amount of winter backpacking I've done but the flexibilty of another 20 degrees would be nice.

my group for Carrigan baled on me so I'm headed for the Wildcats on Thursday instead

another Festivus miracle!

Earl- what is the proper procedure for hiking a groomed ski trail?

any info on Signal Ridge Trail? Broken out? I know the road is closed and will add a couple of mile walk each way. I'm headed up there in the next week.

I read through both of your trip reports and said wow our group did the same two hikes. Then I realized who B the Hiker is. duh! Nice hiking with you and the group

Nice report Sabrina. Congrats on your accomplishment. Maybe our paths will cross this winter. I really like your explanation of what a hard day in the woods does for us.

I think this is where we started a hike last January that went up and over Cranberry Peak. It was only plowed a very short distance in from Rte 27 and there were some houses right near the parking area which was really just the side of the street. We walked in a long way on a road that had been...

An AMC group hike includin Bob Kittredge from this site (nice to meet you Bob). We met across the highway from Lafayette Place campground and headed out at just before 9:00am on the Old Bridle Path. There were a few other cars in the parking lot and we saw 6-8 hikers take off before us. At the...

I enjoy the perspective that others bring to any hike and especially in winter I prefer to have company. Safety in numbers, right?

I met an AMC group for a Sunday (11/22) hike of Mounts Liberty & Flume. We all geared up and introduced ourselves and we were off at about 8:15. We followed the Whitehouse Trail and after a short walk along the bike path and we came to the Liberty Spring Trail. At this point we stopped for a...

I'll probably get some flack for this but I don't mind when there is a fly by or a fly over while I'm out hiking. Wouldn't want it to happen every day on the hour type of thing but once in a while is ok.
