    Who's Going to the FTTC April 22, '06?

    I'm still trying to figure something out for that day, but I'm not too familiar with what's that far south other than Monadnock. I'll be driving up that morning from CT, and it will probably take me about 2 hours to get up that way. As more ideas become available, please post them so we can...

    Sierra Conditions at Mammoth Ski Area

    Thanks for the info Kevin. I'm checking those conditions about once a week right now. I'm not too worried about the immediate Yosemite area and the hikes I have planned there. However, what's more important is the info for my Mt. Whitney hike on June 8th. As time gets closer I'll be checking...

    SherpaKroto Injury

    I've never had the pleasure of meeting you SherpaK, but I can say I hope you get well soon. I can't imagine how it must feel to be couped up so long. Sounds like you'll be back in action soon enough. Good luck!!!!

    EMS 20%(off reg. price)til 3/20 email coupon-anyone want one?

    And if they know you at you local EMS the manager has the right to give you 20% off a couple of things if they want to. For example, yesterday I was able to take 20% off a new pair of boots AND a pair of crampons. Matter of fact, they didn't even take the coupon. So I guess it all depends on...

    Seeking California Hiking Ideas - Part 2

    Thanks for all the input. I have managed to get my day hiking permit for Mt. Whitney (June 8th). I've also got a reservation to stay at the Whitney Portal campsite for the night before (thanks for the suggestion). Now the question remains is, am I going to be prepared enough? Like I said...

    Mt Whitney Reservations Now Being Mailed

    Got my permit for Mt. Whitney!! Just checked my credit card account and was charged the $15 permit fee to dayhike Mt. Whitney on June 8th. I believe that to be the first step prior to actually getting the stuff in the mail. I've been getting nervous because the deadline for the lottery ended...

    Who's Going to the FTTC April 22, '06?

    I'll be there to get my 48 scroll. Looking forward to meeting many of you. I was also thinking of doing a quick hike that day before the dinner. Not sure what yet. Also, I don't want to be driving back to CT that night afterwards. Maybe someone can suggest a good hotel to stay. Maybe in...

    Which VFTT members also AT hikers???

    Another AT section hiker here. Some of NY, all of CT, most of MA and most of NH. I'll be doing the 100 mile wilderness this coming August. Really looking forward to it. Like most people here, can't seem to get the time off from work to do the full thru-hike. Maybe someday, but till then...

    Carrigain - #48. WHAT A DAY!

    Congrats on your 48th Marty. Carrigain is a great finishing peak with those awesome 360 degree views. I would definitely do it again in the summer if you get a chance, it's well worth it.

    Seeking California Hiking Ideas - Part 2

    Back in October I made a post looking for info about a trip I wanted to make to California. Thank you all for your suggestions (Poison, I know you just did some of this last summer and I may be PM'ing you for more info). Now after doing some research I've kinda narrowed my schedule down to...

    EMS Mountain Light Sleeping Bag

    Take it back I've had no problems with same exact bag. However, what I will tell you is to take the bag back to EMS and either get another one or get something different. Forget all the different repair stuff. You shouldn't have to do that. They should do it with no problem. They claim to...

    Cave Dog Here

    Nice Show Congrats Cave Dog. I just watched the show on OLN. I just wish OLN would show more stuff like this. It's a lot better than the bull riding they always show. Nice job and good luck on your future adventures.

    Bonds Traverse Nov 19/20 2005

    Nice report. What do peaks do you have left for what list? Your big prize is another list. After that, another list. After that you get to do them all over again and again and from every direction. Good job.

    Flume via Osceo Trail - 11/19/05

    I second Ivy's comment on pictures, real nice. Didn't look real cold out there and I'm sure the sun helped warm things up. I see the blackened out sign still hasn't been replaced. I passed by it three times myself this summer. How slippery were the stairs coming down? Like grease sometimes...
