Hey all, Meena and I just registered for the Mt. Washington Road Race: Just One Hill The lottery isn't until March 16, but I was just wondering if anyone else has registered or has run the race in the past? While you answer, I'm going to go and run up stairs for the next two months! Dan

Thanks M, I appreciate the kind words! Dan

A tip of my hat to all you parents of little outdoor adventures. Honestly, how do you do it? My learning experience continues! Spider Monkey unleashed

Chris_ We thought about going to Mass. as well, but it looks like we won't be able to make it. If you go, let us know how it went. I'm curious about what films they pick! Hi Chinook, yeah the urban skiing segment was pretty neat. Manchester has petty steep hills that go down toward the...

Hi Ellen, it was great to see you at the show! I should have mentioned something about that last film, I'm still laughing every time I thing about avalanche rescue cats! And Gwen won the tent? Lucky! See you soon!

Wasn't sure if this should go here or in general New England forum, but what the heck, it's a trip report and thought it might be of some interest. Our take on the BANFF Film Festival that came to Portsmouth yesterday: That Sherpa just jumped off Mount Everest!

Thanks Paul... Yup, good drugs, but heart felt sentiments none-the-less :) Doug Paul - Wow, do you mind my asking how you came about that injury? Skiing? How long ago was this, do you feel any aftereffects? TCD and Gremlin - Thanks!

Well, it's been a quiet week here at Lake Hernia-begone, and I've had some time to miss the mountains and think about getting back there. But in the meantime, here are five lessons about hiking I've had reinforced from having a hernia! Hope you enjoy: Five Hiking Lessons P.S. - Thanks to...

PART 3 has dropped Thanks for your support everyone, the surgery went fine and I'm resting at home. All seems well, though it feels like I've done about a 1,000 sit-ups. Anyway, here's Part 3 if anyone is interested: The Chronicles of Hernia Part 3

Wow, feeling the love, or at least sympathy. How about we form a hernia hiking group? We could call it The Bump and Lumpers or the Hernia Hilltoppers? :D King: Sorry to hear things got messy. And yeah, laporascopic is what I'm doing. I plan on taking it easy for sure! Jimmy: Thanks! Part 2...

Bob - Thanks for the advice on the painkillers, I'll be sure to mention that to my doctor on Tuesday! Sardog - Thanks :D Chris - Glad you're feeling better! Two years, huh? I've read about complications after surgery. Hoping for the best! Ellen - Yeah, I expect the first few days to be bad...

Thanks Fisher Cat! Glad you "got" it, not everyone has :)

Thanks everyone, mostly... I think :rolleyes: Seems like the first few days will be bad, then a couple weeks of taking it easy, then maybe back into the swing of thing in March. It is good to hear so many folks out there have the same thing I have and are back in the mountains and all is well...

Thanks Paradox, and thanks for the greenie :)

After suffering a hernia which has effectively sidelined me for winter of 2012, I thought that I'd begin a thread about injuries. My surgery is next Tuesday. I've begun a series on my injury at our website. We're trying to tackle what can be a touchy subject openly and with humor. We hope you...

Hi Tom, thanks! I think, with deference to CS Lewis, we'll call the series: The Chronicles of Hernia :D

Thanks for the greenie Tom!

Stuck with an injury and freezing weather Sunday, I decided to explore the one place in Franconia Notch I had never been: Boise Rock. This is what I found! http://ekpadventures.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/monday-round-up-boise-rock-and-amazing-surival-story-of-new-hampshires-original-han-solo/

Ellen - Thank you and Brian so much for coming out. What a wonderful afternoon! We collected 12 bags of trash, three shopping carts, two tires, one skeleton and many, many weird mystery items! We'll be going back out in May to rake the pond! If anyone is interested in our trip report on the...

Hi all, just an update to any and all Manchester-area folks who would like to chip in and help clean up Nutts Pond Trail. The clean up will take place this Saturday, Jan. 7 at noon. We'll meet in Precourt Park off South Willow Street. The clean up will only be about two hours and we'll focus on...
