My favorites: Reese's Peanut Butter Fast Break Bars, they come in two sizes. Snickers also. Power Bar Protein plus vanilla - Its softer, and much less chewy than the others. As Tomcat suggests, you have to put bars in your pocket or do something to make them reasonable to eat if its that cold...

Congratulations Cynthia! It was a beautiful day on Mt. Tom. It was a pleasure to meet you and so many other amazing people to celebrate your accomplishment. What a fun day!

Congratulations! Have a great hike tonight, and I'm sure that's been quite the journey!

Hiked the Crockers and Redington yesterday. In the morning on the CVR we saw 4 searchers on horseback, including one ranger or warden who said they were heading to their search assignment. Also took note of an obvious bear scat right on the CVR between the parking lot and the start of the hike...

Congrats Roberta!!! Great picture!

Great pictures! My brother and I were at Nesowadnehunk on Friday and Saturday. We did the loop Saturday, getting North Brother to finish our NE 4's. The clouds hung at the summits on Saturday with a little rain, but there were still some breaks for views. The Supermoon was spectacular up there...

Ed, Thanks for sharing this inspiring last report. It was a pleasure to have bumped into you and Lauky on the Zealand summit in November of '11. Always have enjoyed your meaningful posts. Best of Lauk-y to you in Georgia.

My late grandmother's maiden name was Geddes. Edward H. Geddes was the quarryman from Quincy, MA that helped protect The Old Man. My grandmother once said there may be a plaque or grave or something in the area. Just recently we were doing some family tree stuff, and made this potential...

WOW That's incredible! Awesome stuff! Congrats

Hi Mike, Good luck and have a blast. Having just returned from 3 nights in Baxter, I will answer based on my trip, which was 4 of us. We were planning to do Roaring, Chimney, Roaring, with a climb, but ended up doing Bear Brook Campground, Roaring, Roaring because of the difficulty we...

I like to use my snowboogie made by Wham-O, which I bought at EMS a couple of years ago. I've used it on Tecumseh Trail twice and on Crawford Path on Pierce. I wish I had brought it for many others this winter. It weighs nothing and straps to the pack pretty easily with a couple of straps...

That was a pretty cool read! Thanks for sharing. I wonder what the most summits by any gender is?

Congratulations to you both. You both are hiking machines, and your reports are always extremely helpful. Well done!

I recently contemplated the same exact exit plan on my Galehead, Twins, Zealand, and Hale hike a couple of weeks ago. It was frigid that day, and I was running out of daylight when I was on Hale. I read before that the Lend-A-Hand was broken out and when I was at the summit, I saw that it indeed...

Wow, these are all really great to read. It seems we all experience a wide variety of close calls. Here are the two close calls that I can remember. Some of you may remember them from my blog. These were both last year in December and January, respectively: I was nearing the end of an early...

Hi Yoav, I'm glad it helped you guys out. It looks like you did the identical route (using Star Lake Trail). I was so glad I chose that route that time, that climb to Adams held the most intense moments of my traverse because of the wind and blowing snow (and dramatic view of looking down at...

I parked here on Saturday morning for my hike. Although I didn't see any no-parking signs on my way in, I knew before-hand to go right and park near the tunnel via one of the Facebook groups (or else I would end up like one of the cars described by IQuest). It wasn't a great weather day and I...

Congratulations Bill!

Congratulations Bob! That's incredible.

Glad to hear that you got one great day for Mansfield (that was a fun first hike on our trip), and were still able to get both despite the icky conditions. It sounds like Killington was a nice rainy hike with some solitude to me. ;) Thanks for sharing!
