Not sure if pics will come out but if so then here they are- I am no professional but these are my favorite memories from 2012 hiking. views from slopes of Wildcat looking west into the valley- fall meets winter- October 2012 Dave Bear and his best friend Thor out on the Greeley Trail and...

I can't wait to get to this summit. I have heard and seen great things about it. Thanks for sharing your photos. They are always wonderful.

Nice photos. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations to you! Memories you will never forget. Enjoy them.

Bob C- I have to go on Sunday due to family plans on Saturday. Let me know if you change days or maybe I can catch up another weekend. Linda- gosh that's a bummer about the falls and chipped tooth:( Well at least we were both with someone at the time, right?) Hope to get together sometime on...

Thanks Bob. Great to see you too. Are you doing any winter hiking? Don't worry about my head, it will be ok. Just a big bruise, same for the knee. Oh well. I have been accident free the last 12 weeks, it's the 13th week that got me. :rolleyes:

Ran into the same long stretches of ice on the Mt. Kinsman Trail from about 3100 feet up to the summit of North Kinsman. The last 400 feet of gain on the Kinsman Ridge Trail were pretty scary. I used my crampons coming back down and wished I had used them going up it too, Looks like you had a...

Great photos!

continued report here: John said his goodbyes and started out and I left the trail to him, standing for awhile longer until finally meandering slowly back toward North Kinsman eating my bagel as I went along. I ran into 2 young guys from Amherst, Ma who were on there way over to South too. The...

Short Trip to the Pics for my hike to North and South Kinsman: http://s1343.photobucket.com/albums/o793/CrystalCreek7760/North%20and%20South%20Kinsman%20solo%20on%2012-15-12/ Summits: North Kinsman 4293' and South Kinsman at 4358' Elevation gain to do both summits and return over North was...

Congratulations! You should be very proud of this fine achievement.:D:cool: I would be curious to read some type of report on how setting this goal, going through it and accomplishing it has changed or affected you life. Was it a growing and positive experience? What did you learn about...

very interesting yet not surprising to me. Clearing your head of all of life's worries and dumping the electronics for a few days opens your mind up to other things. Nature itself is very creative so I would think being around it would inspire your own creativity,

Interesting trip report on your blog. Good to know about the bags. Bummer losing your stuff.

Congrats Jeremy- awesome!

thanks for all your great advice folks. I did buy a new pair and will try the vice grips in the vice method to try and tune up the old pair of micro-spikes a little bit and use them on trails with some exposed rock and dirt. If I carry both sets for a few weeks at the beginning and end of winter...

thanks for sharing this info- quite interesting. I Haven't used it myself this way but have thought about it. I have decided taking Ibuprophen before exercise is now out of the question for me.

Thanks, I liked the photos too. Glad you got to take a look at them. My turn to right the report next time, ok? I like doing it too.:D Going out with a group this Saturday called the Rotters. A group of hikers from another forum I also belong to. Should be 8 of us and I haven't seen them in 3...

Thanks all. We had a great time and Chris made good company. We weren't exactly going to win any races but we weren't running any. We were simply out enjoying the gorgeous day God gave us and absorbing every little intricacy of beauty the forests and mountains had to offer us. I am so thankful...

I totally agree with you on sharing things like how to use the trail and still protect the environment. Nice post and report.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing.
