TKR..ouch that hurts! Was in with Silverfox today, looking out at all that fresh snow and really feeling deprived! He's doing very well and working hard at the exs. Enjoying visits from everyone and all the good food that appears all the time. Keep it up...when you feel down just recall where...

Flume via Osseo I don't winter hike but your description and photos would tempt one to do so! Wonderful views, I envy you those. Obviously a great day out. Grumpygran

Jackson Sounds like a good day out though those winds make me feel cold just sitting here at home! Good decision not to push for Pierce. Need the reward of good views to make it worth the effort. Grumpygran

October 27th 2008 Trail conditions: As a result of the heavy rain on Saturday night most of the Liberty Spring Trail is wet, with a few dry stretches. Water runs down the trail for long periods and rock hopping is the game of the day. From the campsite up the trails are in good condition...

Tuesday, Oct. 14th 2008 After an overnight at Cardigan Mt. Lodge with 3 granddaughters, 11,9 and 7, none of whom seem to have inherited Gran's hiking gene (Are we there yet? How much Longer? I'm tired!) I needed a day of peace and quiet in the whites so when Silverfox suggested Jackson via the...

Sept. 30th 2008 Trail Conditions: Going up the Edmands path was fine, mostly dry. Crawford Path was wet and from Pierce down was muddy with many small rivers flowing down the trail until diverted by the water bars. Going to the top of Eisenhower we all enjoyed the new wood steps..thank you...

September 21st 2008 Trail Conditions: Mostly dry with the odd muddy patch going into Cedar Brook junction. The loop trail, going up north is in good condition if forever steep. Three large mud patches on the ridge link...two have logs for assistance but the third needs skirting around. Some...

Carrigain Boy do you make bush whacking attractive! I can manage one tenth of a mile...and the photos are gorgeous. Hope it will tempt Silverfox into doing it next week! Grumpygran

Sept, 18th 2008 Trail Conditions: In general very good. On the Franconia Brook and Lincoln Brook Trails there were areas of dry mud (easy enough) and wet mud, at times quite deep and sometimes avoidable. The Path was the usual, with plenty of water running down once you got off the scree...
