Not sure when this happened, but it was rerouted to stay on the east side of cascade falls - used to follow an old logging road on the other side. Trails.com topo map shows the old crossing under the falls at approx. 380 meters...

I think the trail actually took a fairly sharp right up the (steep) hill if not at Blood Rock, then shortly after. Sounds like they did a good job masking the old trail. It wasn't very heavily used anyway - I recall there being a lot of branches, loose rock, leaves, etc. on it when I went down...

Mount Ascutney is my backyard… The upper section of the blood rock trail was deemed too steep and treacherous (though it's not really - just steep with loose rocks) so though I haven't been on the Windsor Trail in a while, I believe they covered that part of the trail over. There is a plan for...

Looks like these: http://www.potsdampublicmuseum.org/gallery/sub14/IMG_8807_cropped.JPG Can't find the page that they are on at this Potsdam museum site site, but found this with a Google image search for ice creepers. Site says they are from 1910-1930... Cool find!

Hey Mats - An adventurer, you are...! Not sure I'll make it north next weekend, so a virtual hug and kiss to you - good to have a Montana connection now - much fun to be had out there! Sue

Steve - Thanks again for hosting this fine affair! Where else could one get a hikin' blues band, rockin' city dudes (how could people NOT dance!), late night rap/spoken word jam (Neil, your flute on that was right on!), McRat and his silver tongue holding late night court (that is a quite...

Most of us are just loud, so like Rebecca said, you won't miss us...

Hey Rebecca - thanks for posting this! See you there!

(Hey Stinker!) Indeed it was fun until I tripped on my crampons on the lower part of the Madison Gulf trail! Supergirrrrrl. Doh! Dangergirl, assuming you are familiar with the Six Husbands Trail, the last ladder with the tight overhang was pretty challenging, as the angled slab (with 40+ foot...

Great line from Slingblade when Billy Bob opens a can of Potted Meat: "It's a might bit loud, hmmm".

Sullivan Station (orange line) is a block or so away. There are also various busses that land at Sullivan. You'll have to look those up. I only go so far with the helpfulness. Since y'all will be in my neck of the woods, I'll be stopping on by...

Oh, and Giggy said he'd rent Mount Washington for us for the weekend (don't worry Leaf, it's an easy one!), with heaters set up along the Lionshead winter route. I believe that will also include a hot dog stand halfway up. Don't worry, there will be Tofu Pups for the veggies!

Hey Court - Nice work! Mother Nature is fickle, but glad you got as far as you did in such good time! And I'm sure it was good motivation to have those two nipping at your heels!

Hi gillian - eye feels fine, just have annoying squiggly blood cells floating around. Got hit in the other eye with a tennis ball coupla years ago, and had a bleed - took about a year for the crap to dissipate... aw well. Sad I'm missing the waltham brew nights... come up to VT sometime this summer!

I found a pic on google earth that shows the drama of the arete one has to go down to get to the Col du Midi from the Aiguille du Midi tram station. The arete is in front of the station (middle of pic). That's one long, steep drop down!! http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/5988941.jpg

Hey gig - Thanks for writing up such a great report. And thanks to the rest of the team for so much fun and support... that's one spectacular place. It never ceases to amaze me to see wildlife in high places - granted just crows feeding off of the huts, but I swear I saw two flying insects at...

Never followed up on this thread. Finally received my pants. They were a bit of a disaster. Was quite specific about measurements, but seems they can only make pants for hips that go out sideways - no JLo cut pants for them. Were some quality issues too. Showed them pictures of the pants, which...

Ah, DP, you set the bar so high ;) (it's why we love you). And Neil, I'm infrared all the way, baby.

Well WE did! While we didn't deliberately shop for the rainbow, we did notice we had the full array and set it up right. We ain't just a bunch of pretty faces. (we're nerds too!)
