5/27 Status for Isolation Black flies were present in parking lot, but not too bad. We bug doped up, but they still found us whenever we stopped, keeping our breaks short. As long as we kept moving, they were easy to outhike. On Isolation summit, they were swarming pretty bad, unless the wind...

Date of Hike: 5/27/2102 Trail Conditions: Generally very good. Dry down low, but plenty of running water where the trail follows the stream bed. Watch for the boot-sucking mud holes. A few blow downs still litter the trail, but nothing too bad. The 5 river crossings are very easy with current...

I have always wanted to do this! P.S. My family thinks I am nuts.

New slides, Duck Hole Dam breached Found this on adkforum: (http://www.adkforum.com/showthread.php?p=174982 I think we're gonna need new maps for Christmas. Mark

You really think the trails are faster? The bushwhack from Black Pond is supposed to cut 1 mile off each way. Does the bushwhack slow you down that much?

The bigger question is, had he not exploded, would he have been able to claim credit for bagging this peak?

GPS waypoints? Anyone have GPS waypoints for the bushwhacks? I know, I know. That's cheating. I will bring a compass and use the GPS to confirm I'm not heading for Liberty.

Everything? The email I just got from EMS said "20% off all EMS Brand items". Is the discount only on EMS brand items or everything. In past years, it was everything (with some exclusions).

Very cool. Does anything like this exist for the Whites?

Date of Hike: 6/19/2010 Trail Conditions: Trails in great condition except for some small muddy patches. Only one blow down - all others cleared. Thanks trail crews! Comments: Optional - Make sure you stop at Mt. Avalon. Although not a 4000 footer, this summit has the best views of all the...

heard 'em Coming down off Field, Willey and Tom, we heard the bikes going through Crawford Notch from quite a distance. Couldn't hear them from the summits, though. Lots of NH Staties on the road going home too.

Nice shots John! I hope you post some of your wildflower shots too! Mark

What a nice trail! The rushing streams make it a great way to start and finish the day. Just a few blow downs and muddy patches to avoid. My only complaint is that I didn't see a single trail marker all day. You don't need them down low, but there is a spot or two where herd paths diverge off...

I just called Saco rangers and they said Bear Notch is open as of 3:30 yesterday. (That's a precise answer!)

Sorry I missed it. I was editing all weekend. My first hike with VFTTers was a few years back at the winter gathering. Where are the pictures?

Saturday Night Visitors I came across this one picture from Saturday evening. ;)

SK, Elle, and family, Thanks for hosting this! I had a blast! I'm glad I was finally able to get up there to join in the festivities. The music was incredible Friday and Saturday. I'm sorry I had to leave and missed Sunday's selections. Saturday's hike to Old Speck with Sue and Dean was great...

I know - I feel bad about that. I've done a few hikes with my brothers in the Adirondacks (they are from Buffalo), but nothing in the Whites in quite a while. I promise I will make my way back into the fold this season!

Bring 'em I just hiked Algonquin this past weekend from the Loj. (We were headed for Wright, but the trail sign is missing, so we missed the turn.) The black flies were pretty bad on the trail. The summit was better, but only because it was breezy. The summit steward said the day before, it was...
