Great report and photos! We did the South Kaibab Trail in December 2005- spectacular!!!!

I couldn't open your pics yesterday but I see them now :) My sled is a deep black plastic utility sled. I had constructed mine for more heavy duty use (heavy sugaring materials, chainsaw, tools, etc.) than for general hiking. It would however make a good expedition sled

I've made a heavy duty work version years ago that still works great. Try using the grey 1/2" electrical conduit instead, cut to a comfortable length, and thread your rope through the two pieces. Figure an easy way to quick connect or tie off to either side of your pack hip belt. I saw one...

Back again from the north central mountains of Vermont... Danged coincidence I just had an "encounter" with 3 coyotes today! I was cruising a woodland parcel in the Worcester mountains near Elmore mountain, admiring a large set of coyote tracks. I had been still & quiet for some time atop a...

Yeah, it's a bit unnerving! I've been followed a few times by a small pack now and then this time of year, it really gets to me if I'm waaay out deep, but I've never felt like my life was actually at stake. I'm speaking of being followed in my home area of north central Vermont in the Mt...

Those are some beautiful shots of Flume from Liberty bathed in the afternoon sunglow!

Cool, thanks for the heads up!!

Very very cool!! Thanks for sharing the photos and information! I appreciate your concern for the preservation of the site and respect your deleting the original thread. I too closely guard the location of special stone sites. We don't have anything quite like this up here in the mountains of...

Great photos!!

I'd often dreamed of a meandering route that would connect the NY Adirondacks to the Vt Greens into the NH Whites finally ending somewhere deep in the Maine backcountry... With the mention of connecting the northern terminus of the AT to the PCT, that would be sweet! Or a Mexico to Denali trail?!?

I'm a Sthil guy... for trail work and cruising I always carry my 12" PS 90 arborculture saw in its plastic quick attach scabbard. Razor sharp and slices through sugar maple like a hot knife through butter. An investment though at about $100 & only through a Sthil dealer (look up your local...

The Best of Times! Great reflections... Thanks for letting us share the moment as well! Klutzy Kats sister, Sunset Girl (& my better half) has now reached her "quarter mark", # 12 of the 48, there on Garfield. Looking forward too the treks ahead!

A great route! I hope to one day retrace my footsteps up there again.... Awesome pics!!

USGS Topographic maps for targeted exploration zones

Yikes, a bit of treework to do there! Interesting chunk of eroison, hope it's not too major higher up! Thanks for the trail check and post

The new erosion at the junction of the Osseo Trail The great new views of the Hancocks from the same spot

New Evidence of Incline Railway on Osseo Trail! For those curious exactly where J.E. Henry's incline railway was located on Mt Flume I strongly urge you to check out the very gentle grade of the first two miles of the Osseo Trail! With the recent flooding from Irene, in many spots along the...

Great shots!! Much better than my cell phone pics (that I can't seem to upload). It sure does look different out there now!!

Possible new slides and widening of existing slides on the southern exposure of the Twins, Guyot, and the Bonds? As seen from the ledge viewpoint on the Osseo Trail at the ladders near the summit of Mt Flume

I'm having difficulty uploading some photos but I hope to have them uploaded tonight after work! One fascinating aspect of the new flooding and eroison is examining the rock and gravel profile in the newly exposed banks. Sounds like some river side trails have experienced some major destruction...
