    Hiking with babies and young children ?

    I used a sling to take my Granddaughter on walks and a couple of hikes until she was ~6 months old. I then purchased a Kelty pack and took her out many times hiking the fire towers in the summer/fall this year. She really enjoyed the Kelty pack and looking around at everything while we hiked.

    Recommended GPS?

    Garmin 60CSx does it for me. Never lost a signal on any of the NH48 hikes. Batteries last a weekend of hiking. You can read the screen in the bright sun (unlike cell phones). I had mine for 2 years and its been on every hike with me in all seasons, not a single problem. It has been...

    OldMan Ed finishes the Winter 48 on Moosilauke

    Thanks folks. I've been pretty lazy about posting TRs. Since a lot of my Winter hikes have been with Tim I been relying on him posting. He's writes much better TRs anyway. Now Winter48 is done it's on to my Spring48! I did 27 of them last year so 21 left.

    Snowshoe pain

    My hips usually bother me on the first several trips with snowshoes in the winter season. I find it gets better as the season wears on. Also stretching these muscles before starting seems to help me.
