MEB and I had just waded over Dry River coming from Eisenhower Trail when we got somewhat lost trying to find the intersection to Isolation Trail. Earlier in the day we had started with a big group from Mizpah Spring Hut over Pierce and Eisenhower as part of sli74's fantastic gourmet hiking...

Yes, but the curvature to the horizon amounts to considerably more........ Here are some great formulas: http://tchester.org/sgm/analysis/peaks/how_to_get_view_params.html

Not to deviate too much off the excellent main subject Dr D brought up - but the proximity of the horizon is a good gauge to if you are standing on a higher summit. If the surrounding peaks are below the horizon you are definitely on the highest peak. Even if a peak you are looking at is...

Hi Mimi, I was planning a Pemi-backpacking trip that weekend......Pressie Traverse sounds fun also......hmmm....let me think.....

I like to hear some of your trip reports Neil :eek:

The fabric is also highly breathable so no issues with condensation......both of them you can open the whole side as seen above so I think ventilation is very good. You also set it up from the inside so if you get caught in bad weather you just jump inside and start the set-up. 87" vs. 80" makes...

I agree with Toe Cozy.......also abusing the SL2 quite a bit. Great tent it is.....I had a solo tent but it's too claustrophobic......sold it....you also save time with more space......easier to get organized......I rather cut back on that extra lbs elsewhere. Another one I use is the Black...

The double-deca triathlon comes to mind.....In 1998 in Monterrey, Mexico a Double Deca Ironman Triathlon was held, (that's 20x a regular ironman), and Vidmantas Urbonas of Lithuania finished the race in only 437 hours 21 minutes and 40 seconds. Vidmantas Urbonas covered 76 kilometers by...

There is a reason only nine people have pulled this off...... Lots of perseverence it takes.......

Nice job Mimi! Very impressive....I was entering the splits on my analytical spreadsheet and were discussing afterwards with my friends from New York Road Runners and they were equally impressive.......one of them said: "This woman really knows how to run a marathon". Look at these 5K-splits...

There is no upper limit on April 1st.......:D

That's the best thing since mini-kegs :D

A friend of mine and I was heading up Beaver Brook trail on Moosilauke a late afternoon in September. 1/2 mile up the trail a very "volumous" woman was sitting puffing on a rock. She goes: "You can't head up the mountain this late in the day!" Your initial reaction is to stuff her mouth with...

Nice job Kim! Finishing in style by doing the three tallest ones:) And you got those three off your April list ;););) If you had a native American name I'm sure it would be "Smiling Hiker":)

Great trip report and I'm an avid supporter of summit signs....with the elevation written on them.....

Thanks everyone for your responses...... Here are a couple of more photos..... In the early years our parents took us hiking....this is from somewhere in Norway around 1971. Mom (Elisabeth) in the middle, Hans with the glasses and me with the cat: As years passed by, hiking with Mom was...

Dressing properly was never a strength of ours......my brother with the glasses....

It was Tuesday February 9th and my brother Hans and I had been talking about doing a hike and see the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. He felt unusually well this afternoon so the timing was good. It took about 1/2 hour to get him dressed and moved over to the wheelchair. This was my seventh day...

Super Hugs to Jen for finishing in style! That summit photo is well worthy of framing in and hang on the dining room wall! Mats

Congrats! Maybe we should have a joint party somewhere?
