Well written. Congratulations.

I'm not sure of the details, but I've been told that it is a Native American artifact and is related to a large pointed rock a bit further up the ledge. I don't have a photo of the pointed rock but do remember seeing it.

He might want to start here. Schedule

Amen! Very sad indeed. My sympathies to her family.

That's a great idea Ray. Unfortunately it is not online as of this time. However, it will be a priority of mine to have that on the WVAIA website before next Spring- www.wvaia.org Thanks Ray Harry

Waterville Valley Vols It's great to see this thread and the interest shown thus far. For the past year I've been a co-chair of the Trails Committee for the WVAIA, the organization responsible, in conjunction with the FS, for many of the trails in and around Waterville Valley. In this first...

Not changing my hiking habits. Moved to the mountains (Waterville Valley) a few years ago to reduce the commute. I'm brewing my coffee at home and bringing lunches. As has been stated- hiking is a relatively inexpensive activity. It should reduce health care costs long term (unless you injure...

Absolutely incredible! Are you sure you don't have Moose genes?

Oct 12, 2008 Trail Conditions: Lincoln Woods Tr mostly dry, Franconia Brk Tr some mud, most can be avoided but not all, Lincoln Brk Tr muddy sections, Owlshead slide dry, slippery on wet rocks,and wet leaves above. Stream crossings- except for Franconia Brk and the first crossing of Lincoln...

Finally the Day Well as it turns out my Tuesday companion can't make it, so with this great weather, Sunday is finally THE day for Owlshead, my #48. I'll be setting out from Lincoln Woods at about 6:30 AM. Any company would be welcome. Thanks all, Harry

Thanks Sparrow. I did read that report and was hoping that the crossings would get a bit easier with all the dry weather. It looks like the trip will be on Tuesday, as I have a friend available to hike on that day. The long range forecast seems to be improving so there may be no rain at all or...

Good point. In addition, they may have taken Ibuprofen earlier and that would add to the blood thinning effect. I saw an article recently (don't remember where) that mixing Ibu and Aspirin can increase the risk of stroke.

Thanks for the post Keith. I always carry Benadryl, Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen but will now add Aspirin to the kit.

Still Looking for Company to Owlshead for #48 My better (smarter) half hasn't wanted me to hike Owlshead alone because of the total distance plus the bushwhack and the streams, yadayadayada.... With the weather looking so good all week, I'm planning to go this weekend with or without company...

Nice report as usual and great pictures!

Thanks Earl

Great pictures Earl. In fact I think the most informative I've seen. I too have Owlshead as my remaining #48 so found this incredibly helpful. Did you go up and down the same side of the slide (left side going up)? Great report. Thanks. Harry

Company to Owlshead ? Moving this posting up again because I haven't yet made the trip. See my next posting below re this coming weekend. Thanks! Harry

Trail Conditions: Trails in excellent condition. Many blowdowns all easily stepped over. Only a few minor wet spots. Bugs no problem, Stream crossing easy. Special Equipment Required: None. Poles helpful. Your name: Harry (Peakn) Your E-mail address: [email protected]

Sorry, I know this is short notice but just throwing it out here in case anyone is interested. I'm hoping to hike my #47, Whiteface, this Thursday, Sept 11. I generally hike around book time, but a bit slower if steep. Might do Dicey's Mill out and back if it looks like the ledges might be wet...
