The mountaineer in Keene is having a mountainfest this winter, and there is a one day level 1 class. They offer day two as a prep for the level 2 course, which will run later in the season at whiteface. I do not know the price, but I want to take one of the avy courses also.

Back to the stream and creek question--I know people go creeking in whitewater kayaks. I have never heard of someone going "streaming". Some brave souls have paddled johns brook. I think that is considered creeking, but you could probably call it brooking. Actually, if you can run that one, you...

I'm thinking we can get ten pages if we really try...I just want to add--I am a dog lover. I almost went to jail for it, but thats another story for somewhere else on the net. But another reason my dog does not come to the high peaks is that he will defacate anywhere. Definitely in the middle of...

It was great to finally meet you, you are sort of a hiker celebrity. I've heard talk of not "being" a 46er until 1- you eat at the noonmark diner, and 2- you meet pin pin. I especially liked the stickers in your car window--46x46, and the ADK winter 100 highest. Very impressive. Maybe you could...

Actually, I believe it was 4:14:05 in the trail register. :)

"Fit recreational cyclist"---I think you're more of a lung with two legs...Have fun, it should be a heck of a ride down. I still want to try the seated skateboard descent next season before the road opens. A man has to have a dream!

I lost my mind up there--I think the wind blew what was left of it right out my ears. That was some serious wind. We saw a girl heading solo up for Wright when we were coming down, we later saw her in the parking lot, she said she didn't attempt to summit due to the wind up there.

I'm lobbying pretty hard for a few different people to go, with no luck so far. Alg might be in though.

I don't bring my dog to the high peaks because he is anti-leash. However, a ranger has told me that it is AOK to unleash your dog in areas that you deem unsafe for leashed travel. I've read in a lean-to register about a guy carrying his yellow lab in his pack through the area in question. I'm...

It's a tough sell getting any of my usual friends to go away on halloween, so anybody here in vfttland want to get a hike in for Sunday? I'll be heading in from the loj sometime around 7am if you're interested. Straight up Algonquin, over boundary, up Iroquois, down to the tooth, then descend...

I'm going to go and try to find the camera on sunday. I'll probably camp out on south meadows road on saturday night. It's a great excuse to finally go to the shepards tooth. Anyone want to go?

Alpine beat me to the thread. I was willing to sacrifice a day of my life to go and hike. It would have involved some explaining, but since I would be trying to help a friend...Alpine, if you don't go, post here and I will try to make it there sunday.

I have not, but I hear it's a great side trip from the ermine brook slide. If you go and can't find anyone to go, I would like to tag along...

My favorite items are a magnesium fire starter, and trioxane fuel bars. I can have a fire going in any weather. Plus all the 1st aid stuff, and extra socks and gloves.

Spots on the ridge trail were icy, nothing that couldn't be negotiated. Snow was present in spots, between 1 and 3 inches. It was all melting very quickly.

I just bought new snowshoes at ems today, I got 20% off for club day. They told me it's the last one. This weekend is 20% off for everyone.

I'll be on Giant and Rocky peak tomorrow, I'll post back. Bringing the snowshoes just in case.

I'll take a polypro shirt, and I'll match the price as a donation for the site. Let me know when, and where to send a money order.

I just photocopied my trip reports out of the journal section from the back of my ADK high peaks guide. I included a letter of introduction and sent it all in. The people who received it definitely read everything, because they sent me a great letter in reply covering some of my topics. I just...

Mamosa.
