Hi Sal, Yes, I'm still planning on going tomorrow. The Sandwich Mtn. Tr. is the Trail. And I'm thinking of a 9:00 start time, but that can be adjusted if needed.

Hey, Just checked the weather, and once again Rain is on it's way for the weekend. Fri. is still looking mostly Sunny! :cool:

Hey DougPaul, Thanks for the tips. Tramper Al, Your right. "Not another List!" :confused:

Thanks SherpaKroto for the advice. That sounds like a good plan of attack. Right now they are calling for a mostly sunny day. :) MEB, I hear you on the snowshoes. For me it's the crampons. It sounds like it's all coming with me. Just didn't want to haul it up there for fun. But we all...

Hi MEB, Good to hear from you. It sounds like you guys (girls) had a great trip! It may even be a little warmer than the last time we hiked. "haha" What would you advise as far as hardwear?

I am planning to head up to Sandwich Mtn. this Fri. I've never been up it, but it's on the N.E. & N.H. 100 Highest lists. And besides, I just want to do it. I would enjoy having company on what looks like a good day at this point. So please join in!

I'll cast one vote for the Princeton Tec Aurora. ($30 or less) Also get the Princeton Tec Blast flashlight, ($10 or less) to locate trails at a distance like a river crossing. The Aurora just doesn't reach far enough for that. Both run on AAA batteries, (now available in Lithium), and weight...

Spider, It's 1:00 in the morning & I'm laughing so hard I'm going to pe....... Trying not to wake the whole house. It's so funny. All those spots & your comments match up pretty good. What a time! Hey, we'll let ya know. We've got to get Ms. Brown & Sky up there soon. Here we go again!

Dave, We used all of it. Sorry you missed the rest of it. I sent you a map. Bill, I hope you didn't take home as much lumber as I did. :eek: You would have gotten a chuckle if you saw the shower floor. Magic, We're still losers. Let's see; Ms. Trap?? We'll see. ;)

Doug, Spider & anyone interested, I have the actual path that we took overlayed onto a Nat. Geo. Map. (The trails have changed a little over the years) From there you can probably figure out were you may have ventured. We were on Davis Path for a short time but never really saw the Isolation...

Congrats to all. Thank you to all, For the imput, comments, dissagreements?, & warm wishes. They were all important and were part of our success. You all share a passion that is rare but so rewarding & fulfilling and not understood by many. You are all special to me. I do want to say...

Kevin, That is the game plan. Same as it was last Sat. To Bushwhack from the height of land on RB trail over to 3100'-3200' on the Isol. trail. At that point last week we would have stayed on Isol. trail all the way due to the rough going we encountered on the 1st Bushwhack. It sounds like...

Clark & Rox, Hope to see you out there. There's a couple of groups going for it that were denied at least once this year. I think all are hopeful this time. Been talking to SpiderSolo. I believe he was trying again today. Hopefully he made it & is ok. Lots of spruce traps waiting for yah...

Spider, I'll send you a map via email with the bushwhack route on it. Let me know where you varied from that. With the snow this deep, I'm starting to think it may make more sense to stay on the trail after the first bushwhack area.

To SkiMom, ARM & the entire Carrigain Crew, I'm sooooo happy for all of you! :) :) :) It was a tough day out there & took a lot of everything you had to complete the trip. I wish we could have celebrated together, but it would have been a breakfast (Sun.) celebration if we continued the...

Just to let all know, we are heading up tonight to beat the snow. Some are still going up tomorrow. Try to be at the Trailhead at 8:15 for an 8:30 start as mentioned. Take an extra pr. of gloves/mitts to account for the snowfall most of the day. We will turn back if conditions call for it...

Sat. LittleBear, I think it's safe to say, we are all watching the weather at this point. I agree, the trail is not the problem. It's almost 3-1/2 hrs. from Westford, MA (w/ pit stops :) ) to that Trailhead, but it's the safety of all I'm more concerned about. I think most of the snow will...

Hikingfish, A very basic mapping program would be National Geographic's TOPO 4.0 Northeastern USA. ($100.00) Along with TOPO Streets & 3D Views Expansion Pack. ($20.00) You can build a route & do a fly over in 3D. It is basic & not going to be as good as other programs mentioned above, but...

Clark, We should be good on the path to the top. I think it's fare to say your tracks are gone after last night. Feel free to join us. Yes, if anything changes, we'll do our best to post any info here.

You got it! I waited til they (Energizer) came out with Lithium AAA's. (Just within the past year). Then I went out & bought a new headlamp, flashlight & GPS that all run on AAA batts.. Before that I used 123 Lithium cells. And what didn't run on them, I rigged them to.
