Thanks all! Now as long as the weather cooperates... Steve

Likewise! Hope to make it to MAGIC as well. BTW, did you get those sneakers dirty yet? :D

I plan on heading up Franconia Ridge to the Garfield Ridge Campsite this weekend. It's been 20 years or so since I was up there, but I recall that there was a small brook or spring close to where the spur trail intersects the Garfield Ridge Trail. My question is: How reliable is said...

Hey thanks for the greenie, Phil. I've got to meet Neil - it appears that his mind works a little bit differently than the average **** Sapiens. :D Steve

Hmmm, this could become the new "briefs or boxers" question... "Are you flat or round?" :confused: Steve

I'll be on Franconia Ridge this weekend, so it looks like I'll miss you. Best of luck, and to quote part of an old Irish blessing: ...May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face... Steve

Great shots, Tom. I've been having a tough time visualizing The Tooth from the USGS topos that I've been looking at. The pics did it for me. Steve

If it's good enough for Druids, Running naked through the woo(i)ds, Drinking strange fermented fluids, Well then it's good enough for me! Perhaps a little mead or metheglin will find its way to this gathering... Vague recollections of such things lurk within the dark recesses of my memory...

The greenie is much appreciated!

An African Swallow or a European Swallow? Apparently the troll was absent from the bridge. I trust that you came prepared with the knowledge of how much a sparrow weighs? Great TR! Steve

We didn't try hard enough Must be a pretty tolerant bunch of campers that they had outside of the tenting area. (Or maybe they're just going to erect an 8-foot fence around it to keep us in) :D Thanks again to you, Spencer, and Mom and Dad (what would Marc and Brian have done without all...

Touch and go? But did you land on each summit? :D Steve

Caveman's place Let's just all descend on UFC's place some weekend. And let's not tell him beforehand :D Seriously, I know some of the MA/NH/ME folks didn't make it to Maddi and Spence's gathering because it was a long haul. I presume that the same would hold true for some of our NY friends...

Only because you didn't have your axe with you :D (at least when I saw you go by) Steve

That route would certainly work. It would end up being 16+ miles for the loop. Steve

Long Day Nice job! I had planned to do the western half of the loop as a two-nighter (Garfield Ridge TS and Liberty Spring TS), but now I feel like a wimp :o Hmmm... perhaps I need to be more ambitious if I want to be able to hold my head up amongst this crowd :) Congrats again, Steve

Awesome! Tent: $200 Sleeping Bag: $150 Boots: $150 Time spent with (willing) teenager: Priceless! I've got two teens of my own - this is a trip to cherish. Steve

Yeah - I was expecting he might sleep all day :D Nice job - you guys are animals. Steve

~32 miles in two days... She's a real hiking animal! :D Thanks to all, I had a great time. (but I still think that I got set-up at dinner. Doing Dix indeed :o ) Steve

Sounds interesting... Wow - I guess there won't be a shortage of groups going out on Saturday! I'll touch base with folks on Friday and see who's doing what (and I really want to see some of that Grade 5 BSM that I've heard about). Steve
