Done! Yes! I've already taken care of that! The good offices of the 46er Club have made sure that US Customs/HS will not charge any Canadians coming across for the dinner. Please note: The Bridge Authority and Customs are two seperate entities.

Thanks for that good tip.

Thanks for that good tip.

FYI conditions the next day... I tried to climb Isolation on Sunday the 5th. It had rained most of the night, and a lot more until about 11AM or so. It was also warm, maybe the upper 30s or so. Even after putting on snowshoes (24", 200# gross) I was breaking through where there was water...

This forum is pretty quiet about this coming Sunday. Are people more interested in yardage than mileage? :) Is anyone interested in climbing some NH peaks this coming Sun-Tues? I've been looking at the Carters, Wildcats, Moriah, and Isolation, but am open to others. I've done only 2 NH peaks...

Merci PinPin, I just heard of some others who hope to do Seymour that day. I may join them. They're starting a bit later, so I may not see you. There has been a lot of rain there, and it will get colder, so the road may be bad. We'll all find out somehow. :)

Bonjour Junior, I'd like to climb S, D, & E before the gate closes again. I wouldn't be able to keep up with you, but would you mind giving me a ride in (if the road is ok)? I wouldn't expect you to wait for me at the end of the day. I've done S, D, & E in one day with the gate closed, so I...

Hey PinPin Jr., So that was you going by the bridge! I was in one of the 2 cars parked there. We'd been waiting for more than 1/2 hour for the 3rd member of our group, and no other vehicles came by. Suddenly there was one coming from each direction, and meeting right in front of us! I...

Road to Seward t/h I was going to climb Seymour on Thursday w/ two others. One got to the bridge early and drove in w/ her 4WD vehicle. When she came out, she said the road was pretty slick, the worst problem being slush. It was bad enough that she didn't want to drive back in. With another...

Bon soir PinPin, I see you're on-line. Is there room for another warrior demain le matin? I e-mailed you less than an heure ago. I was about to go home and call. I Need Dix and Macomb, but would be happy to do Hough and Carson (S.Dix) too. I have no choice anyway. I suspect I'd be the...

post'r boy, Thanks for that link. It's perfect.

I want to continue working my way up the Appalachian Trail through this deer tick/Lyme disease infested stretch. I just haven't heard anything good about Lyme disease,:rolleyes: and don't want to mess with it. I work for a university food service, and will be off for our long Winter break...

Yes, those are other good uses for a compass w/ a mirror. Also, to look for a foreign object in your eye, and for signalling.

I had a Brunton whose azimuth ring (as they call it) became so worn it was unreadable I found their web site and e-mailed them, asking if I could buy just the capsule (which includes the azimuth ring). They said they guaranteed their compasses, took my address, and sent me a new...ah, that...

I hope you know enough to carry an ice ax when trail conditions demand hockey skates! :) But seriously, I borrowed plastic boots, both Scarpas and Koflachs, from the equipment room of a university, and hiked up mountains with both. I'm guessing both pair had been used a bit, but both still...

Thanks to everyone for the info and the great links! We gave it a try, but couldn't do the traverse. Between losing so much elevation going down to The Perch, and a bad forecast, we decided to just loop back to Appalachia.

Bail to the Cog Base? OK. That's a surprise. I ASSuMEd that with the awful weather, one would bail to the leeward.
