We were over near Conway yesterday and stopped in. We mentioned the upcoming discount and they honored it even though the cluib day sale is scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

Hi, Yes it was me. Very nice meeting you. The hike down Drakes Brook Trail was uneventful. None of the slippery stuff I found on Sandwich Mtn Trail ascending. Hope your return trip was safe as well. Harry

8/14/09 Trail Conditions: Generally good footing except the steeper ledges and any wet or mossy rocks were VERY slippery requiring extra care. Stream crossing at start of Sandwich Mtn Tr easy. The crossing on Drakes Brk Tr at the end of the hike was more difficult requiring the use of a few...

Yeah, but I don't think I'd be able to hike for at least a couple of hours after one of their breakfasts!! :rolleyes: Of course there is the 3 mile walk out Livermore Road to the Tripyramid Loop... that might make it feasible. You might also want to check to be sure they're open weekdays.

You're probably referring to Annies Overflow. Very nice breakfast. I'll second Stix in Campton though, but it can be slooow.

Date of Hike: July 14, 2009 Trail Conditions: The forecast was for high winds, cold temps and possible precip. However until we neared tree-line we had been shedding layers and enjoying comfortable temperatures. Sky was partly cloudy with ample sun and nice views. The trail was wet and some...

Way to go Bobby! Congratulations on finishing your first list. Wish I could have been there. Harry

Mohammed, Sorry to hear about this temporary challenge you are overcoming. I wish you all the best in your recovery. With your determination and new respect for the patience required in your recovery, you'll be doing "real" 4K's soon. Look forward to running into you toddling around the...

July 11, 2009 Trail Conditions: Lots of mud on the East branch. Can minimize going in too deep by skirting the edges and using any available sticks and stones to reduce sinking in. Some wet spots on the lower ledges only slightly slippery. Ledges higher up were mostly dry. Bugs not a factor...

A group of us from the WVAIA replaced the ladder on Goodrich Rock that disintegrated awhile back. We also brushed and cleared that trail and Timber Camp trail today. The wood for the stringers and steps were harvested on site. The new ladder looks great! I think you'll find it quite sturdy. If...

How true. Thanks for expressing that thought and the other wonderful memories of your relationship with your Dad. As I reflect on my relationship with my father (long gone now) and my current relationship with my son, all these suppressed emotions rise to the surface. Am I supportive enough? Do...

Hi Sandy, Glad you're finally an official member. See you Tuesday. Harry

FYI- The broken ladder on the Goodrich Rock Trail in Waterville Valley has now been completely removed. Work is in progress to install a new ladder. This will take at least a few days if not more. I'll post when I'm advised that it's been completed. Harry

It's good that you were able to report it locally. Actually, WVAIA, a local hiking club, is responsible for trail maintenance on most of the local trails here (under agreement with USFS). I'm told someone will take a look at it Tuesday afternoon. If the stringers need replacement it will take...

Thanks for the heads up on Goodrich Rock ladder. I live in Waterville Valley and will get that info to the appropriate folks.

Rocket21 Thanks for the info .
