We had an incredible two day hike over the Wildcats and Carters with a stay at Carter Notch Hut on Monday and Tuesday. It was a great trip and we 'notched' 5 more peaks to bring us close to the end of our 48. To find out the significance of the title (and check out the amazing views) you're...

John Harvard's (I haven't been there yet) and Trinity are both in Providence and about 1/2 hour drive from the kayak takeout at Wyoming Dam. Our July is looking pretty crazy at the moment but send me a PM when you're coming and I'll see if we're free. The rest of the group that did the paddle...

One of the articles that we found about Anemone Cave said that it was taken out of the literature because there had been too many cases of people getting stuck in there when the tide came in and having to be rescued. Having been in there it's hard to see how you wouldn't be able to get out once...

We'd love to get there in winter someday (or be close enough to visit more often). Acadia has been perhaps my favorite hiking location since the first time we visited 17 years ago. I wouldn't care if I ever saw a checkmark on any list ever again as long as I could keep hiking there! You hit...

Had a fantastic four days in Acadia last weekend. Lots of hiking, hanging out, great food, fun and amazing people! Can't imagine a better way to spend a few days in one of the most beautiful places on the planet! From a rambling hike across Cadillac, Pemetic, Jordan Cliffs, Jordan Pond and...

This is the first time we've ever done the upper section so I'm not completely sure about summer water levels. My guess is that there would be a few scratchy spots but it would be OK in general. We've done the lower section in the past starting in Wyoming Pond and paddling upriver a couple of...

Very nice! You aren't kidding when you say zigzagged! What a bunch of great spots and trails you hit! A little work with the red sharpie afterward? ;)

The Wood River is one of the nicest sections of river paddling in Rhode Island. After years of "threatening" to do this paddle we finally got a push this weekend when Kim invited us to join their group on Sunday. It was a lazy afternoon floating down the river under a cool, green canopy...

Thanks Trish. It was such a great day! Can't wait for the next one Thanks Phil. You post last week really had me primed for this trip. It was as great as I remembered. We really need to get back and try your route (and some of the other less used trails as well). Skyland looks great...

Mt Cardigan is one of our favorite New Hampshire hikes and somehow 2-1/2 years had gotten by us without a visit. We remedied that on Thursday with a wonderful day out with Trish, Alex and Sage. It was the first time we'd hiked with them at that was long overdue as well. The weather was...

Thanks for the greenie Pam. It really was a fun day!

Great account of the day Becca. The pictures are awesome! Closest we've gotten to Chocorua was Middle Sister. Had most of the trails and that summit to ourselves and watched the parade to Chocoura from there. Wasn't very tempting to go over that day. We somehow need to find a less crowded...

Same here Steve-o - we really enjoyed the company. And of course the gift of Mr Sqeaky Monkey was the highlight of the day. Great to meet you too HuiYeng! Your pictures were fantastic! Enjoyed seeing the hike from another point of view. Look forward to getting back out on the trail with...

Sounds perfect. Nice 12 miles of warm-up to get the legs ready for Holt :rolleyes:

Thanks Kim. There wouldn't have been any story to write without you. If you hadn't invited us along who knows how much longer I would have been dreading this hike and finding excuses to put it off. The group was perfect and you're so right about it being "an adventure with friends filled with...

Thanks Tom. You're right - it wasn't bad at all. BTW - when we finish our 48 list my wife has informed me that the next lists we need to work on are Views & Brews :D Thanks Chris. Definitely want to get back and get the rest of the Lincoln Brook and Franconia Brook trails when the water is...

Really nice Phil! We haven't been to Cardigan in a couple of years and are really anxious to get back. Thankfully we have it in our plans for this week and your pictures and account of the day make me even more ready! You threw in a few trails that we haven't tried before and I believe that...

Thanks for the greenie Mark. It was really a fun day! Looking forward to getting on the trail with you guys again soon.

Thanks Kim. So glad you gave us the nudge. It's not just that we got it done - but that it was such a great time!

What Owen said Donna - you know we'll join you too. We can make it a party! Hey Owen, two days and we're already talking about going back. Has this place got animal magnetism or what? :rolleyes:
