That was a great run! You all passed Bobby, Gerry, Linda Madeiros, Blue and I on the Franconia Ridge Trail near Liberty! Thats a great pace and quite an achievement! :)

hmmm, thats on the way home with a little detour, no reason not to stop..... :)

Damn, nice run, injury and all! 4 times as far as I've gone on one run, heck get on a bike and ride the Tour De France next year, you'd probably do well!! :)

No issues at all on this trail. Blowdowns cleared, dry as could be. Good place to hike with minimal issues.

Every time I go out to Vegas a spend at least a day out in Red Rock, it is simply one of the most beautiful places in the US. My best hike there was in 2008 when I did a scramble and hike across the entire Calico's. :) The hike and views were tops!

It is best to fight every ticket. Even a parking ticket. There is a very strong chance the Officer will not show up because no one is paying OT anywhere, and sitting in court for a ticket is a waste of an officers time. Believe me, they count on the honest working stiff to just pay up and...

maybe if I had the time and money AND allot of experience in the super harsh environment like Everest. More realistically I'd prefer the Colorado peaks and Kilimanjaro, even though Kilimanjaro is more of a hike. In the interim, before I tackle Everest I need to finish the NE67 at Baxter! :D

A little bit of good news. Bobby called me about 45 minutes ago. Tracie is in the process of coming off the heart pump, which according to Bobby was a good sign. He called it a "little crack in the window" for positive news. The doctors at New England Medical Center were talking now about a...

Many of you know and have hiked with Bobby Butler over the years. Last night his wife had a major heart attack when he took her to the hospital for shoulder or chest pains. She lost roughly 50% of her heart, and may require a heart transplant. Doctors gave her a 50/50 chance, which he felt...

Classic........but we all knew it was coming at some time. Definite thumbs down on this Texas bozo. At least he wasn't a local boy!

Amen on that! Who is to say who a good or bad parent is. So if your spouse lets you go hiking and you fall and break your leg and your, OMG:eek: , hiking solo, is the spouse a BAD SPOUSE for letting you go hiking solo........? And if F and G gets involved do they send the bill to the spouse...

According to what I read the helicopter resources were pulled from Maine for this search, not sure where NH's chopper was. What upsets me about the hikers being fined and increasingly picked on as a target is: 1. Are kayakers fined when they are lost along the Maine coast or farther out to...

I know. I can kiss babies too, and then steal their candy! :)

NICE TR! :) :) How long did the entire traverse take?

Graeat hike buddy! Conrats on #48! :) :D

Add when your on call 24 x 7, and work calls. You take the call, thats the way it is for some of us folks! But move off trail and don't make an issue of it and bother people. Not everyone calling on a cell is calling their friend or wife. I'd throw mine away if I could!

I'll meet you at the exit 3, at 6:00 am, at Pease AB in NH, Stevehiker is coming too. Packed SUV, just like old times! :)

It was only a matter of time before someone use a PLB like this. :mad: These 2 boneheads from DC can easily afford to reimburse the Staties, USCG and whoever else may have been alerted to rescue them. Hopefully they are forced reimburse the state for this and that the reimbursement is enforced!

BUMP:eek: We don't want Bobbys 48th lost amidst a beer night or something!! :p

I second Moosilauke, great views, lots of trails.
