Approaching the fish hatchery, there was a sign saying 'Gete 1/2 mile ahead. Closed 4PM-8AM. When I got to the gate, it was obviously snowed open, pretty well stuck in the snowbank. A year or two back I thought I'd read that in winter you have to park by the hatchery. I talked to a worker at...

Woohoo! Got 'em all! Thanks everyone for getting me up to speed on the Bonds. You all gave me enough of a picture, and enough to think about, that I felt informed enough to give them a try. As it turned out, all my concerns about losing the trail were to no avail. I could have only lost the...

Sunday, 3/15 Left parking area on Rt. 302 just after the crack of Noon, carrying sleeping gear and food to cook at Zealand Hut. ---Zealand Road well packed snow and snow ice. The first hill had me thinking about putting on traction, but I got over it without. ---Hale Brook Trail started...

--M, At this time, I'm still planning to start for ZHut via Hale Sunday AM. So I suppose there's a chance I might see you. But it's pretty late now for not having printed out my maps yet, and not having packed my gear. So I don't have much time to try to coordinate w/ you before hitting the...

name tags If you have a name tag or button from a previous 46er dinner, or even a really boring conference you went to, bring it to the dinner if you'd like. If there's space on it, you could add your forum name(s), winter finish date and peak, or any other info you'd like. Don't put too much...

Mmm-mmmm! And to enhance the experience, wash them down with this. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article5707554.ece "Drink globally, gack locally."

Thank you! It's late and I still have to do a wash, but I want to thank everyone who's responded so far. Each of you has given me useful info. I'll approach the Bonds (including Bondcliff) with a higher expectation of success...again, if the weather is very cooperative. I think I found and...

I'd like to get the Bonds this winter because next winter I'd be a year older.:mad: I work at a college and have all of next week off for "Spring" break" If weather and conditions are VERY cooperative, I'd like to make a bid for Zealand and the Bonds. I'll be keeping tabs on weather and trip...

Going clockwise, there's a major crossing at Chair Rock Creek just before connecting to the South Bay Trail. The official site says there's no bridge yet. On August 7th I couldn't safely cross it at the trail, so I went upstream about 10 minutes and still didn't find a crossing. So I ret'd to...

Shanghaied!!!!LMAO?

To this Winter's finishers: If you finish this Winter, we want to recognize you at the dinner. This is been an important part of the evening. It's good for those of us who finished a while ago to hear the enthusiasm of the latest finishers. You'll each be given an opportunity to stand up...

It's March, the month of the Winter Gathering Winter ends this month:( , but with the end of winter comes the Winter Gathering:) . Peggy just informed me that the payment due date has been moved to March 18, and there's still plenty of room. If you're Canadian and are wondering about how...

A very worthwhile trek! It's beautiful forest without the long, steep climbs of the high peaks. There's one misleading statement in the article David linked to. It says "...gain only 400 feet of elevation" It may be that the difference between the highest and lowest points on the loop is...

Mt. Greylock via AT, N-->S traverse Monday, 2/16/09 [edit. Forgot to mention date. We started at 9:35AM on President's Day, Monday 2/16, and got to Outlook Ave. at 6:20PM.] The trail was well used and solid starting from Notch Rd. just below the Mt. Williams Reservoir. Green Lantern started...

Yes, it's still a buffet. Whatever you want, and all you want.

Motel discount if you're staying in L. Placid after the dinner Peggy asked a local motel owner about giving a discount to W46rs and she said she'd give 10% off all room rates. It's called Placid Bay Inn and folks can check out the rooms and prices on their website...

Thank you. I was attempting to add humorous commentary. And being salty, it has to have at least one electrolyte, even if the article doesn't say.

They can't call it Red Bull. Full story at this link, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article5707554.ece but the excerpt copied below may be more than you want to read.:eek: Maybe they'll call it Yellow Cow? -----first 4 paragraphs------ "Does your Pepsi...

I enjoyed your travelogue with its interesting historical notes. And thanks for the picture from North Twin's summit. When I was there, there was no visibility. I especially appreciate your ability and willingness to deal with a camera in such cold temps!
