    The Misguided Adventure of the Doubleheaders

    Marty - Great report and a great time - yes I snore - and they were boxer shorts - not culottes! Next time I am bringing a bright, short summer dress! Cannot wait to do this again - accept for the uphill sections!

    Mount Garfield

    A little bit of everything... Wet down low, but not bad - stream crossings were easy to medium. Snow was falling and on the trail above 3400' - 2-3 fresh inches and 1-3' of rotting and consolidated snow - some monorail. In our party I was the only one to wear traction (Stabilicers on the...

    Best Sunrise hikes in the Whites?

    I would imagine anything on Franconia Ridge as well as Madison would be great - probably need to camp or speed hike to get there in time

    Amazing Camping Food?

    My cousin and I split a pound of steak tips we pan fried (not my preferred method) at Carter Notch - the Ramen Noodle crowd was drooling! :D I really like my backpacking staple (not that I backpack all that much) - basically I get 1 to 1 1/2 cups of Minute Rice, a super hot home made spice...

    Adams Slide Trail (how bad could it be? :eek: ) I would like a route up to Franconia Ridge from the Lincoln Brook Side - I am kind of sick of all of the normal routes.

    Bonds Traverse?

    I keep looking at this thread and I am trying to imagine how buried the Twinway must be - it tends to be buried deep and long even in years that we have a moderate snowfall - this year will be nuts! Be careful and have fun!
