Nancy & Bemis photos http://picasaweb.google.com/spinner2243/ This is my Picasa web album page; if you click on the album Winter Hiking 2008-9, there are some photos and also the GPS track of our trip. You will find them toward the bottom of the album. If I were doing Bemis as a single peak...

Jar on West Garfield Rats! However we did circumambulate the top of the mountain, so "we wuz there" even without finding the jar. Given Al's prior history, maybe it's lucky we didn't find it, since it would now be in small fragments!:D Yes, Jazzbo, HikerDoc, Anita and Al and I did the three...

Al D and I spent 14 hours breaking out the Gale River and Garfield Ridge trails on 2/25/09 to bag these two NH 100 peaks. Lack of consolidation, and relatively warm temps made for heavy going, especially on the ridge. We left Beaver Brook outhouse and parking area off Rte 3 at 7:45; the first...

Broke out these trails with Al D to bag East and West Garfield Ridge peaks. Snow was knee to waist deep on the ridge. The warm weather over the next day or two should help consolidation.

Temps in the low 40s made for mushy snow. EP trail had been well-broken to the shelter, and then 2 days ago MtnRunr headed toward Wilson but had to abandon. I made an end run around MtnRunr's tracks, found open woods and tried to stay near the ridgetop over the several intermediate bumps to...

Al and I hit the Gondolier trail at 6:30, quickly left it for Switchback and then the Black Diamond Chin Clip trail, which is very steep but allowed us to reached the Cliff House, top of the gondola, by 8 a.m. Cliff trail to the north had been broken out by shoers and booters; this trail gains...

No but Damon did, and it looked like a coronary artery clogger! Not that I ate healthy food, or anything!

Whittling away at the 6 pack Nice Report Fred. For me, COP Snow is the straggler.

Packed snow and ice all the way to the junction, Stabilicers very helpful, snowshoes not needed. Snomo trail well-packed up to the old fire tower site. Parking lot has some snow and ice, but I shoveled out the plowed snowbank by the road and the Forester had no trouble after that. Another...

Thanks! What time of year did you do them? I have 4 to do this winter!

When 4 of us went thru the Notch July of '07 the moose had recently died (or been euthanized) and was lying curled up in a way that made it seem cute and asleep. There were flies buzzing around but no stench yet. I can only imagine what AT thru-hikers endured as they slowly lugged their packs...

Great video! Buckette and I loved the video. Especially the picnic tables! We dying to visit Cutler next fall. Thanks!

Great to see so much interest! I will follow-up privately.

Looking for a strong party to join to do some peaks in Baxter SP. I did Hamlin and Baxter peaks last winter, still need Brothers, Fort and Coe for the NE HH list in winter. Anybody out there still need these peaks? Let's talk! I live near Concord, NH.

Thanks for the info Thanks to all for replying. Sounds like there could be a problem tomorrow! We may go to Plan B...

Anyone have any beta about the stream crossings on these 2 trails for a planned hike tomorrow, July 22, 2008 (Tuesday)? Couldn't find current conditions on the trail conditions forum and there's been a lot of rain here in southern NH; wonder how it is up north. Thanks, much appreciated. DocRoss

Equipment required: Snowshoes after the first 0.5 to 0.75 mile from the trailhead. the trail had been 4 wheeled out to quite a mess to below the cabin, and after that a few hikers had post-holed their way to the col. Beyond that it was snowmobiled out with a good crust, all the way to the...

March 3, 2008 York Pond trail has a good base, thanks to our breaking it 5 weeks ago. No problem following it. Snowshoes mandatory. Kilkenny Ridge trail north to East Terrace very hard to follow, d/t old blazes, and deep snow. Finally bushwhacked to summit through waist-deep snow. As we...

Trails are now broken out to Bulge, Horn and Unknown Pond Peaks. March 2, 2008 Necessary equipment: snowshoes mandatory.
