I gave up on the rope. I found it too difficult to lasso a passing tree or boulder while sliding down a steep slope at a high rate of speed. Wait... did I misunderstand? :confused: :D -Steve

Wow - that could have turned out bad. What exactly do you suppose they would have put on his tombstone? -Steve

Yup! During my LT E2E last summer I ran into someone working on completing a LT side-to-side. -Steve

Tish, Pleasure meeting you, Cindy, and George at Galehead on Saturday. (maybe George will recognize me if we run into each other again?) :) -Steve

I did my E2E southbound last summer during the same weeks that you have planned. I started at Journey's End road trailhead late in the afternoon on July 29th and got into Williamstown before noon on August 23rd (26 days). I had one zero-day in Rutland and I stayed off trail three nights - 1 in...

Didn't end well for whom? :confused: -Steve

Thanks for the info, Gents!

I remember that it was very good! :) -Steve

I've heard crazy things about this leaf! (I might be there.) :D -Steve

And here's a report that says that the necropsy showed that the sow was light but healthy, not malnourished as was previously reported: http://www.yellowstoneinsider.com/20100803657/news/articles/soda-butte-griz-light-but-not-malnourished.php -Steve

If you're not opposed to the cost, you could park at Pinkham and take the shuttle to the 19-Mile Brook trailhead. I did it this way when I did a Carter-Wildcat traverse last summer (I took the shuttle to Gorham however). BTW, on the descent into Pinkham Notch via the Wilcat Ridge Trail there is...
