Thanks! Have ya heard of Christmas Toe? Both of my feet were sore and toes still a bit numb. Googling around I learned this is called Christams Toe 'cause after a long hike your toes can tingle til Christmas. Usually it lasts a week or so. I finished up the trip a bit tired but feeling great.

Thanks guys. I was waving to you from the Franconia Ridge! I took several zoom shots of the Owls Head slide as I walked along the ridge hoping to be able to see you but my camera just could not zoom in enough to show any detail.

Last summer after visiting Zealand and Galehead huts to bag the surrounding peaks I thought it would make a great trip to go hut to hut and bag as many 4Ks as I could in a week. After some planning I decided to hike from Lincoln Woods to Appalachia averaging 4 peaks and 12 to 13 miles a day...

Great Hike! Thanks Tim, LRiz, and Larry. It was great meeting all the VFTT folks out hiking in Sunday. It really was a day for hard core hikers. I had hoped to do my first PT on a 'Bluebird' day but we settled for a 'Seagull' day with a 'Bluebird' finish! For me our last peak, Mt Jackson...

Great TR Tim. Thanks for setting up this hike. This was a great warmup a Presidential Traverse. Here are a few more pictures from the KRT hike...

Definately MUD. I hiked the Osceolas from Greeley Ponds on Monday in the rain. The Chimney was more of a waterfall...

Incredible. Congratulations!

Looks like a great hike Tim. Great panorama shot!

Sorry I can't do Owls Head in the next few weeks. This weekend I'm looking at new trailers and next weekend we are heading to Maine to hike Old Speck. What peaks do you have left? You must be close to finishing.

I woke up Sunday morning and decided to take in one more peak for the weekend. The weather didn't look great but I was up for a short hike on my way home so I headed over to Moosilauke. LRiz had suggested the Beaver Brook Trail was a great hike and I had not been up that trail before so I...

LRiz was on another one of her weekend hiking marathons and asked if I'd like to join her for a quick run up Cabot on Saturday. I told here I would let her know after I finished my Bonds/Zealand Traverse on Friday. Well I felt pretty good on Friday night so the hike was on. I arrived a little...

Sorry for a belated trip report, it was a busy week and I just got around to uploading my pictures tonight. Jeremy invited me to do a Bonds/Zealand traverse with him on the Memorial Day weekend and we would pick the nice weather day. I jumped at the chance. Friday looked great so I took the...

It was nice meeting you and Dave Bear at the trailhead. Great pictures and congrats on completing such a long hike!

LRiz was wanting to hike Mt Whiteface/Passaconaway on the Sunday after her incredible Mt Washington/Isolation trip on the Saturday. I needed these peaks for my Spring48 so a hike was on. We met at Ferncroft for 9am which turned out to be just the right time as the rain stopped about 8:30 and...
