    Bonds plan, advice wanted please

    Yes, I'll second wardsgirl on the col between BondCliff & Bond. The wind turned us back 3 years ago, coming in to just do the Bonds. Move the date if they're calling for high winds. On maybe just bag BondCliff from LW. That way you can continue if it quiets down. On the traverse Sat. it was...

    Bonds from LW 3.7.09

    Hey Juniper, That was real nice meeting you & your crew on the way to W. Bond. I don't think anyone wanted to leave with the 360 views!! But thanks for kicking us all off. BTW, Did Donna ever make it back from the real W. Bond?

    Bonds Traverse, N-S, 3/7/2009

    Hey Guys, Nice day for it. Except for the drenching rain at the end. But better later than sooner on a hike! Could see you guys standing on W. Bond. I took a pic. but it's a good distance away. Those bridges were pretty bad, ice wise, on the way in, bare booting. Hope they improved a little...

    Winter 4K Completion, Finally

    Well, not real sure where to begin or how to put it all down on paper, but.....here goes. I first want to thank God, for allowing me to be alive and able to do it!! Back in 2007 I was getting so close, I could taste it. However the taste was getting pretty sour as I tried to get those last 3...

    Northern Lights

    It was in the summer that time as well. Funny. I had always thought the winter was the time to see them with more polar ice to reflect the solar flares.

    Moriah via Carter-Moriah Trail 2/13/09

    Sorry for the delay in posting. (No computer up North) Trail was broken out most of the way. Except for the new snow that fell the night before, plus a little wind erasing way up. Nothing needed for first mile, but put on snowshoes at that point due to the upper level of snow collapsing from...

    Northern Lights

    Only once. It was back in the mid 80's right here in Westford MA. I couldn't believe how spectacular it was. The green & purple patches were very bright, and covered almost the whole sky. I had a stiff neck the next day from looking up waaaay too long. But it was worth it. I kept on thinking...

    Zealand, W. Bond, Bond

    What a finish Jefferson would be. One of my favorite peaks. You can do Isolation solo. You are quite capable!! The only problem as you mentioned was breaking trail alone. Best to have some help for most new snow that falls there. Our first trip there dumped 3 1/2 to 4 feet up in that area...

    Zealand, W. Bond, Bond

    Hey Wolfgang, Haven't bumped into you in a while. Probably because I didn't get out last winter except for a couple of quick ones. That trip sounds like the coming attractions for me to finish the winter 4ks. Those three were attempted a few different ways 2 years ago, but something always got...

    Hey Karen, Congrats on the Winter 4K!!!! Love to see it. Enjoy the moment. Did you plan it that way? To finish on Osceola that is. If so great choice.

    Owl's Head 2/7/09

    Trail is broken out all the way. We chose to stay on the packed trail rather than break new trail as it was just Jerry & myself. A few comments: Not just my thoughts. Jerry felt strong about it as well. Starting with the Black Pond Bushwhack. The broken trail follows a very zig-zag path that...

    Owl's Head 2/7

    Hey Pucknuts!! You're too much. Forget work. Someone's just gonna take the money anyway! We don't need a GPS. Normally just have you climb a tree for a bearing.
