We are heading up to Mt. Moriah via the Stony Brook Tr. (I know it was supposed to be the Twins & Galehead. Later in the season!!) We will be meeting at the Stony Brook trailhead @ 8:30 tomorrow Sat. 12/31. So if your still undecided and want to get out tomorrow, come & join us.

Thanks for the input!

I know this was asked back on 12/20, but does anyone know if the road is still open? Trying to plan for N. & S. Twin for Sat. 12/31. Also this is an open invitation to anyone interested. (I know, wrong forum) But do feel free to join us.

Carole, Don't be embarrassed by simple mistakes. :eek: Sharing helps others. It's very common to make that mistake. Out on the ocean people will ask what my depth sounder is reading, thinking theirs is broke. When all it is doing is reading Fathoms vs. Feet. With 6 feet to a Fathom, you...

There is all kinds of Lore out there. Some very true. Some not. But that is one that I would say, is a very good reason to be suspect of things to come. It's not a guarantee, (and neither are the weatherman's forecasts), but you should be leaning on the side of: "somethings up"! The most...

I tend to sleep cold in the wee hours of the morning, so I use bags that are rated to lower temps than needed. And also can't use a mummy bag zipped up all the way. :eek: Which translates into fairly heavy bags. I thought for multiple night backpacks in the Whites, a synthetic bag was best...

Not sure. Probably not since the upper parts of the Isolation Trail, East of Davis Path were a bit overgrown as well on 9/3. Noticed a lot of annual weed overgrowth on the Isol. & RB trails from Davis path to Rt. 16 as well.

That sign is there!

I believe they're saying that the Spur Trail sign is gone. Which it was on March 19, & Sept. 3, of this year. (It was there 10/92). But the Davis Path Sign, just North of the Spur trail, is there. It was there 3/19/05 & 9/3/05. The only difference was, the top of the sign was barely visible &...

Hey, maybe I will be jumping in your car as you drive by Westford! I can't believe they took that little goodie away. :( My idea of an EZ-Pass is NO toll booths! They are a major source of traffic jams at times. And paying a toll for 1 or 2 lanes on the Spaulding & Everett TPK's, is worse...

Crystal, MJ is correct. But the $.75 is worth it to save dollars in fuel and time. One thing you can do to cut down on the cost of tolls is to buy a roll of tokens at one of the booths that has a person in it. (the booths to the right). $5.00 will buy you $10.00 worth of tokens. Now your...

I've been using a Suunto Vector for about 7-8 yrs. $200.00. So far, no problems. It's a replacement for a Casio $70.00, that fell off it's band twice. No bad luck. Just a mismanufactured watch. LL Bean attempted to fix it once. Then when it fell the second time, I just paid the difference...

You've been well advised. The only thing I would add is, check the weather. October can bring 60 degree days or a blizzard. So you could need all the hardwear or none!

Was just there 2 weeks ago. Yes, go the way your thinking. You'll find it (the spur path), a short distance past a sign that says Davis Path on your right. Have done that route twice. The other routes that were fun this past winter, was to come up the R B tr. and bushwhack to the ridge...

Funny you should ask. I was just looking at that yesterday. Mt. Washington is it for me. Six times. The first time was June 1974 and most recent was January 2005. Oh, and Mt. Monadnock six times as well. First was January 1990? and just last month, August 2005.

Yup! It's kind of like the story of the third generation girl, now married, and everytime she cooked a roast, she would cut the ends off & toss them out. After seeing this many times, the husband asks why she does that. "I don't know, my mother always did it". So, the girl asks her mom why she...

Go for it! That was my first backpacking trip & probably one of my favorite. Nothing at all like the N. Slide on Tripyramid. What's your destination and how many days are you out for?

Crystal, You could probably save some more gas by heading up route 3 (off 495 in the Lowell area), which becomes the Everett Turnpike in NH then merges with 93 up in Hooksett. Waive as you go by!

Tom It was a privilege to help out on N. Twin. I think John enjoyed it too! Appreciate your efforts to get the flag up there. It was a last minute thing to surprise Pucknuts on S. Twin. And it turned into an incredible day & night later at the moose. Sorry we missed you there but we stayed...
