Gene Daniel and I have measured many trails over the years with a wheel as have many others. Errors can be kept to a minimum by the skill of the user. There are tricks of the trade so to speak and control of the wheel is most important with no swerving from side to side. I have measured all the...

I was happy to read you were pleased with the cairn. Peg and I were up on tuesday and did visit Emmas Cairn. You did a much better job with the pictures than I did. That is no surprise as the pics were great even catching the bug on the Iris. Neat!!. Thanks for the heads up on the Brook Trail...

Good Luck and thanks for the years of nice well done trip reports. Maybe you can get back and visit again on Belknap. We will all miss you both. Hal

You are more than welcome. The top rock is three sided and I was thinking of placing a small E on one of the sides. Hal

Kevin and Judy, I had the opportunity to go up Belknap on Tuesday, and kept my promise. The cairn for Emma is at the outlook on the Blue trail. I hope no one disturbs it. Hal The cairn: View from the cairn:

9 hearty Trailwrights met to do some needed rock work on the Rollins trail in Rollins State Park. We tackled two areas of concern. Both needed rock steps and some smoothing of the treadway. In both locations 6 single rock steps and 3 double rock steps were installed for a total of 18. Not a bad...

No but the AMC Southern Guide has distances so that YOU can figure it out.:)

Ed: I have not seen the Cache in the last few years. I have visited it many times but I think it has been removed. Hal PS I have not checked the cache on Belknap lately either.

Yes I remember you now asking me about the way down. I Think I had recommended the Blue to the carriage road would be easier for the dog. It will be my pleasure to build a small Cairn in Her honor first chance I get. Best to you all. Hal

The route from Straightback to Anna is not as well traveled but with keeping your eye on the treadway should be enough. Part of the West end of the Quarry trails needs new blazing but the adopter has flagged it with white tape (the trail blaze color). we will be redoing the blazind and basic...

Yes we lucked out on that day. We also had a no bug day in the Belknaps last weekend too. We Will Pay !!!!!:) On a side note all the drainages on both Bald and The Bluff trail were cleaned to complete the day project.

Wow ambitious!!. All in one day can be done by Leaving a car at the Whiteface Mtn. Trail head at the end of the Belknap Mtn. road. Drive to Gunstock and climb to Rowe,Gunstock,Belknap, to Round pond and up to Klem,Rand,The two Quarries to Straightback and Major. Back to Straightback,to Anna,to...

Such a nice tribute to Emma. Bitter/Sweet in many respects. You will always have those wonderful memories of all the hikes and good times. The Bitter ,Peg and I have also been in your shoes and words cannot express how we feel at this time. The Sweet is the precious memories. I was working the...

April 27 eleven Trailwrights and friends met at Artist's Bluff to continue rebuilding the trail. We started the project in the 90's with Shock Incarceration Unit of the State Prison. The prisoners carried up large granite blocks while the Trailwrights placed steps. More steps were added at...

Wow from me too. Congratulations that is some accomplishment !!! Now the race will be on to who is faster??? Certainly NOT ME :-)

Seems that you do not understand. We don't care about any changes. That was the list at the time we made it, using what was available at the time. Errors or not. We do NOt believe every time a new measurement comes out that we need to change. That is the list no matter what you believe. Like or...

Congratulations To Jeremy. And to think he does Trailwork as well!!! Amazing.
