You can do it using the Skyline trail end to end, most days, and not hit huge crowds. Most of the crowds I saw are when you near the observatory side, after that it thins out considerably.

Have they started selling and checking for parking stickers at the Everest trailhead parking lot yet? :p That would be a first too............

Well it sounds like it was a great trip! And nice pics from Big Earl! :)

I have been lucky, never had to help someone down a trail or come across an injured hiker, but have loaned gloves or extra gear to hikers in distress. However, I would help if necessary. I however was helped off the trail on September 1st by Alpinista, whom could have ran past me and abandoned...

And thats exactly how it appeared when I hiked up to the summit of Mount Monadnock on October 28, 2007. :) I had planned to hike on Saturday the 27th, but it rained incessantly that day, so I postponed it until the following day. It served 2 purposes: I would not hike in the rain (2 hikes in...

I was in NYC for the US Marathon Olympic Team race trials as a volunteer for the event. Its predicted to be winds at 40 mph, heavy rain up- to 2". I was loaded for bear, heavy rains, cold, winds, etc! Turned out to be cool, cloudy and mild winds and later partly sunny. I sweated liike a pig...

Congrats Ray on # 67. Old Speck is one of my favorites, having hiked it several times! Glad you chose it as your final NE67!! :) :)

This thread may finally be reaching its end.......... its serviceable life now at an end with a new hiking week ahead of us. Its ashes spread quietly along the Whites........ :confused: But a heck of a good thread!

Well, it was a bit of a joke, but actually I'd be up for a run prior, as would be Alpinista. She'll be nearby, and a good run in Mines Falls Park, or its equivalent, followed by picking up Chanelgirl at work, would be good. Plus we would smell bad, which would give us more space for more VFTT...

Weren't you going to take us all on a 4 mile run as part of beer night too? :eek:

I'll be there.......! I think I am off that day anyway, I'll check and see if Chanelgirl wants to go, though she is working that day.

The old Matthews in Tyngsboro would have been better, its closer to the Whites and Monadnocks. :p :D

Neil- Didn't anyone tell you 50 is the new 30? :) :D Pub crawls, beer nights, marathons, peakbagging! Heck life is just starting!!! :p :)

Your a diehard Yankee fan to the very end.......you could spread the ashes over Yankee stadium! :eek:

I concur with Albee.........

I was at REI in Reading, MA over the weekend and this was posted in one of their flyers. The next REI Garage sale is scheduled for this Saturday, November 3, from 10:00 AM till closing. Good place to pick up equipment, but usually best to arrive early! It is at all 4 Boston area locations...

WOW! Simply a great job!! :) :)

Great way to spend your birthday, Congratulations!! :) :)

Update! I want to thank all of you who chimed in on the thread or PM'd me wishing me a speedy recovery from my injury :) While I have recovered, I certainly was not speedy for the Hartford marathon last weekend....... I did finish the marathon, but the weeks of lost running and hiking time...

I have this on my to do list but I ran the Hartford Marathon on October 13th and hiking this weekend would be a little too much for the knees! keep us posted, look forward to the TR and pics!
