Saturday, i'll most likely be doing a bug count on East Osceola with my son instead of the tom, Field trip..i told him it's less mileage but serious up-hillage, doing it from the Kanc and GReeley ponds, then i'll venture out either Sun or Mon, depending on the thighs..i keep wishy-washing on...

Puck, you all are going to be REAL CLOSE to the sleepers while on the tri's, if you any interest in the NE 100, you may want to give it a look...i'm campaigning here!! I'll be coming over from Canaan NH on the weekend. I'll check any last minute posts before i leave Friday midday or you can pm...

I'm thinking of getting over to the sleepers via south tripyramid slide from livermore in WV. I was thinking of bringing my hybrid bike..with beefed up tires on it, for the initial journey in on livermore road/trail. Number one, does this disqualify me at all on an official basis of bagging...

Hi all, i am contemplating getting east sleeper..and west for good measure one of the days, probably from the Waterville side..probably going up the south slide..oh goody two steps forward five steps back!! If you nail down a day, post it, we probably won't coincide on start and end points, but...

Nothing specific, but to add on to the Southern Presi's feel....the first time i did the presi's traverse, i very much got feelings of "presence" around me as i crossed the hump of franklin on a misty day. I kept swinging my head around and peering off into the mists...i was with a small group...

Has anyone attempted or done Speck and Baldpate(s) in one day? I expect Speck to be difficult..lots of vert., is Baldpate a bit easier (relatively speaking of course). I realize it would be a long and grueling day, something i would not contemplate until suffient and regular days of training...

I'm up for Jay/Big Jay, i'll watch for posts as well since as a family we are half way up NH most weekends...I would love to do camping weeks in Maine, but i think that time will not be this year...i'm hoping to squeeze out enough days in Baxter to have success with the weather...maybe late...

If i wasn't such a cheap...make that frugal Yankee..or maybe it's Connecticut that charges way too much..mine would me MOMHYKS...ctsparrow

I have only encountered one bear on a trail and it was a non-incident. I would be far more concerned about coming upon one dumpster diving at resturants around No. Conway etc, as they are actively, and perhaps aggressively seeking food. I went hiking one time around the hills north of San...

SK: your anticipated return to the outdoors in any capacity,.. your first escape from rehab on a warm sunny day..will make the struggles ahead well worth it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. As a MRI tech, don't fear our machines if you need follow up above and beyond CT...

Well i had originally dreamed bigger dreams for a sunday hike..ie Jay in VT, but after hearing of COPIOUS amounts of new snow and not wanting to risk a turnaround after soooo long of a drive AND after realizing i did indeed insult my knee and ACL on the descent from Sandwich on Sat...

Sandwich Dome Sat. 3/18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a beautiful day for a snowy walk! Upon rousing myself at 5:30am Saturday in CT (after working second shift), i headed north to Waterville Valley. First a quick stop to warm up our...

Sick!! well done!..a feat i would need snowmobiles, reindeer, ski lifts and some serious oxygen to even contemplate. ctsparrow

thanks all...hopefully those skiers et al, will be packing the heck out of the trail, as i really don't want to break 3' snow solo!! :eek: that would be a turnaround day!! ctsparrow

I'm mulling over different scenarios for this weekend and Jay and Big Jay came into my radar. Any recent info on conditions/ trailfinding (to Big Jay) would be helpful.(i have downloaded bob & geri's topoand info). The ski resort reports 6" freshies and snow showers expected sunday...thus i...

You two are my hero's..not only do you totally go for it, but your trail info, gps maps, descriptions, pictures and now videos!!!!! are mind boggling..i can't even figure out how to manipulate a picture to make my own avatar...you two should offer hikes for the technology challenged...

Anyone one have any input on these peaks and their winter accessiblity? I haven't seen much activity on these in the posts. Do they get broken out like many other sought after peaks, or are they a prefered as a 3 season destination? ctsparrow

I would like to venture that the term "global warming" needs to be phased out and replaced by "global climate change" or something of the sort. I hear far too often...when it's cold.."so, much for global warming!". It's probably said by the people who drive gas guzzling vehicles!! But let's...

My biggest butt whooping came on my bike this past year. I ride around my northern CT home careful to go down far more hills than up...on the reccommendation of my orthopedist and PT, but by mid-summer my quads are usually strong enough to start hittng them. I decided to bring my bike to our...

Off to Equinox i went after loading the kids on the bus. Two & half hours later arriving at the Burr & Burton School trailhead, with a start time of 10:40am. I knew this was no easy climb as vert is close to 3000' in a short distance. I knew i should've gotten my backside into the gym prior...
