Very nice report. Congrats to your son!! But Webshots says, "This user hasn't uploaded any photos or videos yet. " Keep trying :)

This is very sad to read. It has happened here before. I did not know Ray but it sounds like he left something special with those who knew him.

Hiking in the rain and backpacking in the rain are two different animals. The first is sweet the other is nasty.

"while hiking a remote mountain in Bethlehem, New Hampshire... Charles Loring of Georgetown, Mass., and two companions were hiking an unnamed peak south of Haystack Mountain when the victim suffered the heart attack just before noon Saturday." PatN perhaps?

After you park to the left of the gravel pit and stay left (as peakbagger says) you will see the sign I posted in my first picture. At the sign you turn left for a few yards (about 20) and then turn right on this faint path that goes up and over a grown over sand hill then continues (maybe 50...

What was questionable was that it was a fee tube but no sticker or anything to be evidence that you paid. The sign said it allowed you entrance into the other sites in Grafton Notch. These we had already stopped at and there was no indication of a fee that I saw.

I wasn't sure I'd make the top either but it is a very sturdy tower and even though it was quite windy up top I felt no movement. When they move in the wind is when I don't go up. If I recall, Magalloway moved. :eek: I concur!

Funny you should ask. Some hints of what the range is like. Shaw - http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=24602 Brook Walk, etc - http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=23790 (also added info here - http://www.rocksontop.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=43306&highlight=#43306) Roberts -...

But there is a tower. I dallied around taking pictures and exploring the summit area but my husband went right up. I psyched myself for the climb and slowly made my way up. Once in the cab I dropped to the floor to gain my composure and then was able to take pictures in all...

Maybe I should ask how to do a search for Monadnock without a hundred hits for the NH mountain. I’m getting conflicting mileage and elevation from my search and my altimeter watch died before we started (anything from 2 ½, 2.4 or 2 miles and 2300’, 2108’, or 2039’ elevation gain). I tried to do...

I sat on the shore of Lake Umbagog on Sunday and though quite breezy and chilly it was a treat.

Nice picture of turtleheads. I've seen turtleheads before but as pictured in my trip to Shaw I could see why 'turtle heads' is a fitting name.

It is Indian pipe. This is what they do as they age. The flower turns upright and the whole thing will turn brown and hard and can last until next year. I posted a similar pic here

The Bridle Path was recently completed to extend from Shannon Pond (on the Castle grounds) to the middle of Oak Ridge Cutoff Trail. It has a couple of nice outlooks along the way and is more like a hiking trail than carriage road. The lower section between Shannon Pond and Faraway Mt Trail has...

Over the weekend as I passed several swamp/marsh areas in NH there are large clusters of turning leaves. Quite pretty especially last evening in the setting sun.

I got a new bike. It was a fancy 3 speed ‘English’ bike with skinnier wheels and lever thingies on the handlebar. My father said he’d give me a dollar if I learned to ride by the time he got home from work. I thought that would be easy ‘cuz I could ride my brother’s bike (1 speed Columbia). What...

Actually I have often seen clusters of Indian Pipe. This was taken 4 years ago: And if you see what looks like Indian Pipe with multiple heads it’s actually Pinesap:
