Fun times on VFTT!

To try and brighten this website in this dark "zombie apocalypse" time, I am looking for some of the old school VFTT'rs to post some pics from happier times back in the day. A little history: Darren started this site in the late 90's, which became kind of the Facebook of the day for NE hikers...

A hiker had a medical emergency on Monday near Owl's Head in the Pemi. Unfortunately, he passed away. My condolences to his family and friends. https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2019/08/27/nh-hiker-suffers-medical-emergency-dies

I am planning on insulating my attic tomorrow. :eek: In all seriousness, night hiking can be a lot of fun this time of year, especially during the Perseid Meteor Shower in Aug. If you time it right and catch the sunrise on the way down, it can be an amazing experience. One time we were on...

Here is one from VFTT's very own, and it just came out: https://afterthesummit.com/

We are in the 11th hour and if you would like to have a voice on the Thoreau Falls Trail bridge removal please send your brief comments to Senator Kelly Ayotte https://www.ayotte.senate.gov/?p=contact I have been the MMNF volunteer maintainer of the Thoreau Falls Trail for the past 7 years...

Excellent report! Well done! Age is just a number, but being active and experiencing life (not just existing) is the key, and you are a wonderful example! BTW, did you see any of our old cog grease footprints in the carpet at the restaurant in Gorham? :)

I'm skiing Wildcat with my son tomorrow, and plan on stopping by in the evening for a few... And yes, The Shizz is definitely worth the price of admission... :)

I've mountain biked and hiked that section several times in the past 3 months and up to Norway Rapids it was totally fine. The section between NR and the second junction of the Tripyramid Trail is quite eroded, which is what they must be working on. Not sure why they are closing the whole thing...

You sure know how to vacation Arm!

Nice trip report, and pictures! There are not many situations in life where you can actually say, "We read the Captain's log"...

Awesome pictures! I am now going to refer you as "Saint Courtney". Regarding the topic, IMO, it is far better to experience (even if it is somewhat dangerous), than to just exist. We are all on this Earth for a short time, and we should experience as much as we can, while we can...

Well said Jim, those are some profound words... Keep on making a difference...

Awesome job Team Carrigain!

I went in from Lincoln Woods to do some trail maintenance from Irene. I hadn’t done any maintenance on this trail since May, but I was pleasantly surprised on how good of shape it was still in. I cleaned water bars, took care of most of the blowdowns (there are a few that are too big for my bow...

I think that they are just overreacting to all of the media hype. I don't remember them closing it during the ice storm of 98 and that was a much more serious situation...

Nice TR and pics Mats, though the pics are a nice contrast to the horrible rotten snow conditions we encounered for most of the day. We need a heat wave... Laura, we must have just missed you! I know you love those early starts... Dr D, actually I bought that hat after the Rangers ousted NY...

Awesome job you guys! I wished I could have made it (sucks being a gimp). I hope Spanky was able to behave this time....:eek:

I agree, inquiring minds would like more specifics... :) Try and think of the positives; you made it back safe, you learned a few things, and you have another incredible memory to reflect back on when your 80 years old...

Incredible pictures! Nice find John. I have not been fortunate enough to have ever met Nick, but I was fortunate enough to meet Alexander d’Arbeloff, the other co-founder of Teradyne. Those two were brilliant engineers... The pictures are amazing!
