Karen, The only one posted that I could find from you was this one sent in June! Oh dear, I must be bad news with others who did post greenies for me. Thanks for the direction. Will try to keep up in future.

Mark, Karen is working on teaching me how to respond to "greenies" so here goes....many thanks for all the ones you have sent but have been unacknowledged! I'l try to do better in future.

Sept. 24th. If you were not fatigued by our efforts on Tuesday, well documented by Cymbidium under Autumn Equinox, well....we were, so we voted for something a lot shorter and easier for our Thursday outing. A perfect day for this relatively short hike. Clear skies and views of the...

Always a thrill to be on the Bonds! We just missed you! Glad you also had the chance to be up there in such perfect weather....is there anything that can beat those views? Grumpygran

What...no bears? I'm sure there were some in the woods. The photos are great and a totally new perspective. Grumpygran

Sept. 5th and Sept. 7th Twoweeks ago Rory, aka. Son of Grumpygran, emailed to say that they were selling their tickets to the Revolutions game and coming up over Labor Day weekend to hike one of the days depending on the weather. Once I saw the forecast I suggested we do the Bonds on Saturday...

September 1st 2009 Trail Conditions: In very good condition with just a few muddy areas except for the Ridge Link on the Loop trail where those two large mud holes are getting deeper and wider and harder to bushwhack around! Hope that area makes it onto the AMC trail crew's list next year...

Owl's Head and moose smells. Happy to hear the moose odor is less than it was as we plan to take in Owl's Head soon. Photos are great! Glad you had a good hike. Grumpygran

8/27/09 Cymbidium and I wanted somethng short and sweet today as household chores called us! We chose Iron Mt. near Jackson, on our "52" list. As they say "getting there is half the fun" and the road description in the AMC book is very accurate, a gravel road rough, narrow with many washed out...

The OTHH group enjoyed the company of some Maine members as we set out on a lovely day to do T,F &W. Clear skies, cool temps and low humidity made this a great day to be out in the mountains. As we gathered at the Depot parking lot an elegant red fox stopped on the far side of the tracks and...

Ever the Beautiful Bonds Great report with great photos. Congrats on the 48...great place to finish...my favorite hike. Grumpygran

Water on the Galehead Trail Silverfox and I are planning to up to Galehead on Tuesday so I will remember to put in my towel and dry socks! Grumpygran.

Poet on Owl's Head A poet to boot, made the climb sound a hoot! Well done Tuckerman, you topped the old man! Grumpygran

Up High and Gorgeous! We surely made the right choice yesterday and you really captured the wonder of the views we had from the top! Grumpygran.

Our goal today was Owl's Head but after consultation with Silverfox about water levels we settled for Carrigain... a good choice. Discussed the idea of bushwhacking to avoid high water. The decision was made to chance getting the tops of our boots wet instead of drying off all those wet trees...

July 21st 2009 Trail Conditions: Very well maintained trail, easy underfoot, with just one long muddy patch before you reach the viewspot at 1.3m. Equipment needed: None Comments: An early start had us out before the rain started today. This trail is very moderate with few really steep...

July 14th 2009 Trail conditions: Some mud on Valley Way but overall in great condition. Equipment needed: Warm and weatherproof clothing. Comments: Having watched all the high summit forecasts I was uncertain we would do this hike today. Stopped at Pinkham Notch for advice and the young...

East Royce Good report but I'm not sure if you really painted a dark enough picture of all the mud and yukka mucka! Grumpygran

June 30th 2009 Mud, standing water of up to 3" and slippery rocks always makes for a great hike? With the forecast for more afternoon thunderstorms Silverfox, Frank and I took off a little faster than the rest of the group hoping to get down before the weather caught up with us. The trail...

June 27th 2009 Trail conditions: Up Hi Cannon which surely is the poorest marked trail in the Whites! It was wet, rooty and muddy with several downed trees (goesunders!). Down Kinsman Ridge to Lonesome Lake. Kinsman ridge was just wet and steep! Lonesome Lake trail had lots of muddy areas...
