Congratulations! What a way to finish! - Ivy

Unless something has changed recently... they don't rent the Wonalancet Cabin out anymore. - Ivy

I like number 1 best. - Ivy

East Osceoal via Greeley Ponds ski trail, Greeley Ponds & Mt. Osceola trails, Jan. 10 Trail conditions: For something different, we decided to ski in via the Greeley Ponds XC Ski Trail. I am not a particulary good skier-- had a lot of trouble with the two stream crossings (got my boots wet on...

I suppose that depends on the situation. :) I'll just echo Amicus to say Saturday's hike on the BCT was just lovely and definitely a reminder that I've been ignoring this trail too long. (Especially since the commute to the trailhead is so short, I managed to get home before dark.) Some more...

I can't get enough of the adventure books... especially South Pole expeditions. Here are a few of my absolute favorites.... "The Worst Journey in the World" by Apsley Cherry-Garrard. He was a member of Scott's ill-fated attempt to be the first man on the South Pole. This books focuses on a trip...

Trail conditions:Trail in this short section is in very good shape... we had no navigational issues. The trail relocation, which adds 1.3 miles to the mileage in the 10th edition guidebook, is very well blazed and easy to follow. Had a little trouble with the steep descent down Mayo Hill -- lots...

The LT goes over Killington too, so all five of the VT 4Ks are covered on the LT map. - Ivy

My winter patch is also slightly longer than the all-season. - Ivy

I very much appreciated reading your report... and hearing about some of the stuff that rangers have to deal with during a busy day. Great effort on what sounds like an absolutely crazy day! - Ivy

Isolation & Ike via Davis Path, Isolation (west) Eisenhower Trail & Edmands 10/11-12 Trail conditions: Davis Path -- in very good shape... muddy in spots but nothing terribly troubling. Last pumpable water (heading north) was someplace between Davis and Isolation and that was not much either...

Yeah, the northern junction... but I'll be on the Davis Path so either junction will do really. Thanks so much for the info, Kevin and Michael. - Ivy

I'm wondering if any one has camped in the area where the old Isolation Shelter used to be near the junction of the Davis Path and Isolation Trail (in the flat area between the summits of Isolation and North Isolation.) I'm hoping since it was an old shelter location that there might be a spring...

They are all gone.

Not a 4K... but I think The Fool Killer is the best mountain name in the Whites. :) - Ivy

Congratulations! :) I admire your dedication! - Ivy

Thanks for leaving the flag up a little extra long, so it would still be flying when I got up there. :) Good to see you guys again! - Ivy

It may also be worth calling other hospitals in the area. From the information you've posted, it sounds like he may have been moved to another hospital. With HIPPA laws, it's really difficult to find out information about hospitalized individuals, unfortunately, unless the person has given the...

I was really sad to hear what happened. My condolences to Ray's friends and family -- and especially to Marty and Jason. I had never met nor hiked with Ray, but he has been on my mind for the past couple of days. I have enjoyed reading the remembrances posted by those who knew him well... he was...

My goodness... I think it takes me longer than 3.5 hours to hike up Osceola! :o Awesome to hear that Aaron has moved from future peakbagger to full-fledged peakbagger! I wish hiking was something my family was into when I was little... it would have been great to get such a head start...
