Even an MRI isn't 100%. Back about 10 years ago now I was having problems with my knee. It was starting to give out going down stairs and things like that. I had an MRI that showed a torn meniscus and other loose cartilage and fluid. So I went in for a scope job to clean things up. While in...

My finance and I will be heading out to California at the beginning of June next summer for two weeks and we're trying to figure out where we want to hike. We don't plan on bringing all of our overnight gear, so it will have to be mostly dayhikes. We'll be between Sacramento and San Francisco...

Good to see you will keep the site going Dave. It has been an excellent source of info, especially for me while knocking off the 48. I look forward to all the new updates. Thanks again.

Congratulations on your 48!!!!!! I only wish I lived closer so I could join in some of these finishing peaks. Hope your next list is just as enjoyable. Nice report.

Excellent report and congratulations on your accomplishment. I wish you very many more great hikes and look forward to your reports. Good luck!!!!

I did this hike earlier this summer and got a ride down 302 early in the morning from the Hightland Center. I started at the AT and headed up Ethan Pond Trail. And yes, towards the top of Willey it is steep, but some really hard working people put some nice stairs there for us. I'm glad I...

Congrats in advance. Looks like there will be a nice crowd joining you. I hope the weather stays decent for you. I haven't been up to NH since I finished the 48, too much going on at work. And this is my favorite time of the year!!! Good luck.

Congrats on your first 4k in NH, and good luck with the rest. If your like most, it gets highly addictive. Happy hiking.

Congratulations on completing the 48!!!!!!!! Reminds me of when I finished on West Bond. I didn't have a view because of heavy fog, but it still was satisfying. It's always good to know that no matter what the weather is, when your finishing there is no better feeling. It gives you a real...

Well, you know their policy, 'Take as much as you want, but eat what you take". So most people stick to that. The 'Croo' is pretty good at making enough food for the number of people who are there. Yes, you can have as much as you want, but even that has a limit. They also eat after the...

I purchased a Jetboil very shortly after they came out and love it!!!! When I first got back into backpacking in 2001 I first purchased a Whisperlight International which I loved as well. However, in my quest to cut some excess weight like most do, the Jetboil has done extremely well. No...

Many Thanks! Thanks to all for your great replies. It is really nice to hear from the people you've met on the trail (Jade, Flatlander & SherpaDon), or in a store (Tom and Atticus) and then run into them on here afterwards. I now find myself going back and looking at old posts I've missed...

I too like to start my hikes early in the morning and usually the first one up most trails, so I end up clearing most of the webs for others. I guess everyone does their share to clear them out in the morning. However, it just seems like as soon as someone goes through one, those little...

Nice report and great pictures. If I didn't have to be at home in CT with my son I would have finished the Bonds and my 48 on that day instead of on Sept.13th. How cool would that have been?

Congratulations on your 48!!!!!! I did that one on July 31st this year and afterwards knew it would have been a good one to finish on. Next to Mt. Washington, Carrigain has one of the best 360 degree views in the Whites. I spent about an hour up there on that platform just looking around in...

Congratuations on finishing the 48!!!!! I was up there on September 7th and someone else was finishing that day as well. I didn't get a chance to get their name because they were leaving as I was arriving. This was my 42nd, and I also just finished on West Bond on Sept. 13th. Nice photos...

I’ve now completed the NH 48’s. I’m fairly new to this website and have often been just a lurker reading all the great info that is presented here. It’s an incredible tool. Thank you Darren for creating this wonderful webpage. Anyway, a little background on me. I live in Connecticut. The...

Finishing on the Bonds!!! Let it be known that I will be heading up to do the Bonds tomorrow, Sept. 13th to finish my 48. I'll be going at the crack of dawn from the Lincoln Woods parking area. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!

Be aware that the Zealand Road is now closed for construction and you cannot park at the Zealand Trailhead. There is some type of shuttle that will run to get people to and from the trailhead however trying to coordinate this with a long day, and the parking situation may make this a tough way...

Owl's Head new sign Hey Jade, how are you. I've attached a picture of that sign you mentioned. I'm the one you met at the base of the slide that day. I was solo and ran into you and NH_Mtn_hiker and that other woman who was headed to Galehead Hut. Anyway, I'm sure you also noted that all...
