Awesome TR Jazzbo! Fisher Cat and I maintain the current Osseo (along with our wives) and you def have piqued my curiosity to explore the original route- esp the upper half! We've followed the old route a ways from where it intersects with the new trail (very easy to miss...hidden on a sharp...

Great TR! Cool pics too! I'm long overdue for a full moon hike/camp/photoshoot! (And sorry I missed ya that soggy night on the Osseo a few weeks back with Fisher Cat). Dickey Mtn looks like a great hike/summit to check out... now on my to-do list, thanks!

Great sentiments Fisher Cat!

nice shots!

Great shots! I'm actively involved with searching out wildflowers and have been very surprised with how early everything is blooming this year (here in the Mt Mansfield, VT area we are a full 3 weeks ahead of "normal" blossom time!!!). Anybody observe how the local woodland and mtn flora has...

Hey bro! Looking forward to gettin down and dirty on the Osseo together for another season in June! Just heard from a local over here (went up the Osseo at night and did the Pemi traverse for sunrise) that the trail is in pretty good shape with a decent amount of snow from the swithbacks to the...

Very Nice! My brother's in-laws own a very remote camp out in these logging lands, an old logging camp from the late 1800's & lovingly restored to a hunting camp, and my wife & I were invited to spend a week out there last September (awesome!!). I spent a lot of time bushwacking and exploring...

I've been a Tubbs user and abuser (I work on my 'shoes all winter, major miles, wear & tear... and hike with em too) for over 25 years- Just bought my first pair of Flex Alps two weeks ago and LOVE em!! :) I estimate i've put on close to 80 miles already and gotta say the traction and comfort is...

How about a full moon rise over washington? Then a bivy for sunrise? :)

Congrats and thanks for sharing the words and pics! I'm kinda dreading the day i choose to winter 'wack Owl's Head :)

The Pinnacle is a great first-timer snowshoe hike, fairly moderate with maximum "alpine feel" summit views. The main trail head is a fully maintained parking lot with sign at the top of Stowe Hollow road, on your left just past Upper Pinnacle road- this trail is highly used and easy to follow on...

All my hikin buddies know i carry the "Dr." for our winter hikes- nothin like a swig of McGillicuddy's at -20 to keep ya warm and charging forward :) (but never drunk)

Yeah, most def Stripped Maple (Acer pensylvanicum, aka "Moosewood")... new twig growth often red, esp when growing in wet conditions with plenty of sunlight. The green stripes on the stem are also a give away. Most often new brances will sprout from the chewed off (or, pruned off) spots. Not to...

Great Shots!

Hey thanks! It was really great to bump into you guys on the trail and catch up... it was an excellent day on the ol' Osseo! Every time I'm on the trail, I'm learning something new and exciting, new discoveries and old friends. Great pics by the way!

Great wordsmithin' FisherCat! You said it perfectly...as if I knew Donald too. Thanks for showing me the cellar hole with the lilacs, vinca, lilies, and blueberries still in full glory...some memories are hard to erase like the granite we live among!

great pics Great photos, looked like an excellent day up there!

Hancocks Hey FisherCat, thanks for sharing the cool trail descriptions. When we did the Hancocks together last fall, i enjoyed keeping an eye out for the many ancient logging roads that crisscrossed the entire mountainside and intersecting the trail, though in many places almost indiscernable...

A few of us are hoping to return for a repeat friday-saturday March 1st Marcy summit push if the weather holds out. A summit sunrise would be awesome...though i'd do it all over again for the unique thrill of hiking through the night with great friends. And YES! getting together for something in...

reply Yeah, the headlamp trek up through the night was awesome! Though i've done a lot of full moon hikes, this was my first thru-the-night with headlamps experience...i gotta say, i'm hooked! The heavy rain friday froze to ice as the temps dropped, making everything glitter in the light of...
