Planning on Owl's Head this Sat. Supposed to be a good day & it's been good and cold for crossing Lincoln Brook. If you're interested, should get to Lincoln Woods about 7:15 & hope to start by 7:30. You can post, PM, or just show up last minute. Should be good.

Wardsgirl hit the nail on the head with the candle lantern. I did a bit of winter overnights in the Whites. Usually they were 3 days & 2 nights. I used a -40 down bag because I could never pull that zip up all the way, so my whole head was usually completely out of the bag. I always had a hat...

Hey Darlene! You Know I'll be there.

Hey Mats, Great attempt! I agree with the support team 100%. If you go for it, or I should say, when you go for it next year, give me a shout. I may be able to help out for at least a part of it, especially in the Twin Mt. area. If I can help, I will. Even though I was born in Brighton, It...

Ask Spider Solo about Pam. I remember him telling of his trip to Isolation & he couldn't figure out what the hissing sound was in his pack. The cover to the Pam came off & was spraying everything but his snowshoes. I wouldn't use WD40. The smell would drive me crazy. Maybe silicone or teflon...

Hey Mats, Keep it up! I thought that was your vehicle in Appalachia on Sat.. Adams & Madison was it for us. The snow was really getting soft below 5400'. But that didn't seem to slow you down! May cross paths Sat. Doing the Zealand/Bonds traverse.

Could it be the Great Gulf Trail just before it reaches the Gulfside Trail?

Hi Mat, Seven Dwarfs is a B&B in Twin MT. on Little River Rd. He charges a small fee to park there, because it makes it difficult to plow if you park at the end of the road which is a little over a 1/4 mi. further up. We are still meeting at Lincoln Woods at 6:30 tomorrow to drop off one...

Hi All, This Sat. Jim L, myself & possibly a couple of others are going up the Twins from Seven Dwarfs. That is our first goal! If the conditions are good & we are up to it, we'll continue on & hit the Bonds as well. I know this would be a long day, for me anyway, but W. Bond & Bond are on my...

I'm sure the reference was to the one in Huntington Ravine. I believe the other is a lodge in Jackson. They should have the info at Pinkham Notch. And you probably already know to register your plans there as well.

If you are going up the Lion's Head winter route, I would be more inclined to ask if you were taking your crampons & at least one ice axe. You may or may not need snowshoes. Most areas will be blown clean, but it doesn't all blow off the mountain. It does collect in areas & therefore would say...

Hey Squintyken, I can possibly get you started. To Q6, been called worse! 2 years ago I had the time of my life attemting to bag Isolation in the winter. There were many in the group the first 2 times & a lot of new fallen snow as well. (3'-4' in spots, no bull). There were some in the group...

Yes Fish, Thanks. I got another free set about 2 weeks ago. Much to my surprise & delight. Now I have 4 ways of crampon use to pick from: Old - New1 - New2 - None. Just what I need . Another thing to decide on. :) These do seem better though.

Thanks ARM That confirms my thoughts looking at the map. Not sure when I'm going, hopefully soon. But I think your prints will be gone by then. I hope the snow will stay or more than likely we'll get some spring snows. It's still only March.

Considering Mt. Kancamagus. Was wondering does everyone come in from the Livermore Tr. or has anyone tried from the Northwest?

Hey Brian that was one super way to meet up again celebrating your # 48 Winter Peak!!!!! Sjhbos, Sean & Adrian it was great to hike with you guys. S & S, too bad you didn't come for the extended part of the trip at the Moat. Stephanie, I do hope you heal real soon..... Tree Dancer! Was a great...

Oh boy! You had MARKLAVA too?!? I can see a name change coming........................ :eek: Congrats!

Oh, BTW If these winds don't die down, may be wiser to pick another trail with more protection.

The Castle Trail looked very inviting from Caps on Saturday!

There is always that element of the unknown when you go with a new group. One of the reasons I prefer to go with a group or individual that I know. But I would not have met a lot of you guys/gals if I didn't venture into that unknown from time to time. Bill put it well when he said "as far as I...
