    Franconia Notch Swimming Hole

    Cool... I'll keep my eyes open for the kilt! I'll be leading the pack, with a couple from NYC straggling behind. Should be a good show. We hope to hit the trail near 9/9:30AM.

    Thats a new way of looking at it, and probably a good one! I'll keep that in mind when I talk with the surgeon tomorrow. Either way you look at it, I'll be back for the Fall/Winter season. ;)

    Our Mistakes?

    Mistakes.... Nah, not me! Well, actually just a month or so ago I was hiking Bonds from Zealand. I took a small fall on the way up to Guyot, brushed myself off and continued. At Guyot CS, I set up camp and then headed out to hit the three bonds. My knee was starting to hurt before I left...
