Great seeing you again! Just love Franconia Ridge! It's wonderful when people "just passing thru" from out of state get to see the beauty of the Whites (Franconia Ridge/Presi's) on days like that! :)

I bet you'll score a spot, but just throwing this out there............I hiked up Liberty Springs and over to Little Haystack yesterday (Sunday) and all/any sweet looking camp spots along the ridge (less than 200 yrds from trail, therefore....illegal) had signs that said "revegatation area...

Good for you for still getting out there and doing what you can do! Scary situation for sure......glad to hear you and your Dr.'s have it under control! On another note...........church pond loop just got moved to the list of trails to hike in a severe drought.......or in waders! :)

Saw these poles last weekend while visiting a friend on the AT. Amazing how light they are and how small they pack!! I was impressed! Until I realized you couldn't lengthen them for water crossings.......so, I'm out. (I've had the same poles since 2002........really attatched to them now...

Great trip report..........very well written!! What an adventure! (I've been chased by a mother spruce grouse before too, they are nasty and out for blood and the only thing that works (for me) is to just ruuuuuuuuuuuuun!) Beautiful and rugged terrain in there for sure........but it sounds like...

that is wrong and can't imagine anyone would acutally do that. P2piper - sorry, I don't have an answer for you........I'd wait until Aug!! :)

Thank you so much first for your reply and second for the great trailwork that was done on Sphinx trail (it's clear sailing)!! I had a sinking feeling around 9pm last night that the hike we had planned for today was going to be blowdown hell, but after checking this site this morning, I knew...

Anyone have up to date info on the Sphinx trail and the Great Gulf trail? Doing a little research and I find that on 9/4/11 Sphinx had significant blowdown and washout damage............. and as of 9/20/11 Great Gulf had a 600 ft section of trail destroyed by landslide. (I am assuming this is...

treats! Yes, new socks are wonderful! So are homemade brownies/cookies! If you have access to a Trader Joe's, any treats from there were always awesome!! (nuts, dried mango, crystallized ginger, choc. covered espresso beans.....any flavorful lightweight calorie dense non trail foods) I love...

jefferson notch rd The gate to Jefferson Notch Rd. was open today 5/24/12.......off of the Base Rd.............I did not drive up it, only past it!

Definately a beautiful hike, I think around 14 miles or so for Worcester, Hogback and Hunger. We prob. stayed at Little River Campground, (though I can't remember for sure) but you'd be really close to Stowe and all of its $$ lodging options.....and really good food!

PA Ridgerunner - That is definately the spot! Nice picture of it! Something good to be aware of if you are ever night hiking in the area!! Lefty E - map stealer. ;)

Hello!! I don't think I have the ADK NG map, and if I do, I can't find it!! When we did that loop a few years back, I'm pretty sure we went up the Weld Trail, did and out and back to Sawteeth, then continued over Gothics, Armstrong, Upper and Lower Wolfjaws and then went down the trail between...

Though I can't go tomorrow, it looks like a great loop! One that I hope to hike this summer, so I'll be eagerly waiting your trip report! Have fun!

Always nice to see familiar faces out on the trails!! Glad you beat the rain! :)

Wow, you really capture the beauty! Great pictures! I think I need a new camera!

Saw a work truck at the begining of Tripoli Rd today, looks like they were patching potholes..........as there was a lot of tar all over the road.......throw it down and let the cars pack it in, I guess :)

Sounds like a great start to a great trip! The west is just jaw dropping and beautiful! I have to say, I am super jealous that you saw a mountain lion! Everytime we are out there, I'm hoping to see one (from the car).........maybe on our next trip!!!

I have never seen a 52WAV patch, but there are a couple other kid friendly lists that would earn them a patch........one being the Belknap Mtns. in the Gilford area http://www.belknapsportsmensclub.com/hiking.php and another being the NH Firetower list (Belknap Mtn. is on both lists!!) Very kid...

Welcome!!! Though I can't give you any driving cross-country suggestions, I can say....... Have a blast on your PCT hike, it was by far the most beautiful and rewarding hike I have ever done!! :) So many amazing sights and such easy walking compared to here in the East, you will LOVE it...
