Hi Darl, Ah so you did get to experience the madness of Lukla! Something we'll never forget that's for darn sure! Just curious, where did you stay in Namche? We stayed in the Yak Hotel and it was absolutely wonderful, the best momos I've ever eaten! LOL! We've writing a travelogue on our journey...

Hi Darl, Great shot on Island Peak. I can't wait to take my time and browse through those photos! I wonder if we passed each other without knowing, as we were on our way back around Oct. 24-25 to Lukla as you were just heading up. I'm glad you didn't have a hard time in Lukla, as it was an...

Hi Brew, Whoa, wow! The marathon? Dang, you have some Sherpa blood in you? That's pretty hardcore! Good luck!

Hi Darl, welcome back! I can't wait to hear about your trip. Glad you enjoyed Kala Patthar as much as we did, it's a special place. And thanks Hikes With Him, yup, we consider ourselves very lucky to have had this chance! Oh and a FYI, if anybody is a Facebooker, we created a community page...

Rolling Rock - Good time does not even begin to describe it! LOL. It is a scary and also magical place. As soon as I left, I wanted to go back! Leaf - Base Camp wasn't trashed, but it wasn't anything special either in terms of views etc. (All though, up there EVERYPLACE is special relatively...

Hi everyone... We just got back from our Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar trek and have begun posting a series of installments of the trip on our website. I know it's not exactly New England trip reports, but we thought it might be of some interest. It was an amazing, trip, truly beyond words...

Did Isolation this past Sunday (though from the opposite direction you are planning) and had no issues with signage or trail markings. Junctions of Isolation Trail and Davis, as well as RBT and Isolation are signed and hard to miss. There are some designated camps spots near both junctions but...

Hi, sorry about the Cog Railroad post in the trip reports section, I noticed it's been moved but don't know where. Before posting I tried to figure out where might be a good spot for some general photos like that but didn't know where to put it. Again, sorry about that I just thought some people...

Hi Dave, Sorry about the Cog picture, if you're the one who moved it. I really didn't know where else to post general photos, or if there is even an area for that? I thought it may have been interesting to some folks. Maybe general backpacking? Did you repost by the way or just delete? Sorry again!

Hi Rick, yeah I could have been a little clearer in the description, sorry about that! Thanks for your kind words.

Took this shot Monday on the way up Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail, then touched up to look like an old time linen postcard. Tell me what you think. The rest of the shots from the hike are up at our photo page if there's any interest. Cheers!

Thanks Barking Cat... it is a pretty amazing trail, in any weather! Mirabela, yup, that's right on the western side of the Madison summit cone, just before you drop down toward the hut. And right again, that's Adams! Thanks Dr. D. At around 1-ish, as we were close to the top, a group of - I...

So there we are, standing in the Appalachia parking lot at 2 a.m. Sometimes, that trail-head moment, the minutes between getting out of your car and placing that first foot on the trail, is the most nerve wracking. Hikers gearing up all around. Final prep. Car doors slamming. Kids running...

Hiked the Carter Range Saturday. Drop me an email if anyone is interested in info on South or Middle Carter summits. I'll post some photos in the Trip Report section later.

Gotcha, thanks to you both. Yup, tons of discussion! Glad I have pics of the signs when I was up there.

Has anyone been up South and Middle Carter recently? When I was up a few years ago, they both had signs marking the summits, but I seem to remember reading, I think last fall, someone saying the summits are now sign-less? Anybody know? Thanks! Dan

Excellent, choice! Thanks Steve! Wonder if there's an equally inspiring quote out there about mosquitos?!?!?:eek:

Thanks Bob! So, yeah I saw that MUR report and that cell that I shot may actually have been the tornado cell. My pics were taken around 4pm at the airport in Whitefield, looking north over Jefferson. The storm was moving east so it may be the one that eventually touched down in Gorham. Here's...

Thanks Cooper and Grumpy Boulder - Yeah, NPR just did a little story on the tornado in Maine. Michael - I do own a DSLR and after reading your note, I did a little research. This is from an online guide to Cannon EOS. This sure sounds like what happened: The first curtain sync problem. As...

Thanks Michael! We struggled over that for a bit as well. A bunch of photos show those little streaks. I think what happened was that in order to keep the camera dry I put a hood over the top. That also darkened the lens, so the flash automatically popped up. My guess is that those streaks are...
