Just about all the NH HH baggers I've talked to are using lists with slightly different variations in the last 5 or so peaks. I am also using a list I received from Anne Gwynne; the last 5 are Clough, Fool Killer, Captain (Carrigain Pond Peak), Sable and Savage. The next 7 (101 to 107) are...

Will the REAL Huntington please stand up? Both peaks registered as 3700' on the GPS and altimeter. The one I thought was "Main" Huntington is at N44.03.024, W071.29.477, while the other one, which is southeast of the "Main", and connected to it on the topo by a dashed line (which we didn't see...

Yesterday was a perfect day to work on my winter NH HH, and Fred Shirley and I had a great trip to these peaks off the north side of the Kanc. A group of us had attempted the peaks in October after the bad storm that dumped a foot of wet snow and caused numerous blowdowns. We found then that...

East approach to Deception I have heard that the Base Road approach was good in past years, but more recently the route has been plagued with numerous BDs. Absent the BDs, that would indeed be the straightforward way to go.

Old Dartmouth Range trail Hmm, it looks as though the old trail DID go over the west peak. What surprises me is that it did NOT go over Dartmouth, but instead headed north over Pine Mtn. I had understood there was a trail along that whole ridge. When you BW Deception, you do want to start...

Dartmouth Range Trail?? I don't have the answer, but Roy Schweiker may know.

Thanks to Eric Savage for his directions and map. Four of us, including Buckette, Steve and Rita set off from Campsite No. 7 on the Old Cherry Mountain Road at 8:15 this morning. The weather was predicted to be chance of snow showers, breezy and cooling, and we found all of that. The temp at...

I'm glad we got the peak too. When I made the WMNF report to Marianne Leberman, I mentioned that the Sabbaday Falls Trail was in dire need of blowdown removal. Someone else on this forum mentioned it also.

Sorry there aren't any full-face photos! They were all "working" pics, none posed. Those of you with trail work experience can probably ID many of the culprits in the pics with no trouble. You can't tell from the pics, but I actually did some grunt work myself! :D It was also very fortunate...

This is a notice that a crew of us repositioned two bridges on the MSGT today that had been swept downstream by floodwaters. The first was over Bog Brook, near the junction of the trail with the Bradford-Washington Road (after it leaves the north side of Lovewell Mtn). This brook can be tricky...

Self and Annie led AMC hike up the Fool Killer today. 10 of us altogether. Since the 1st crossing was do-able but not ideal, and we had had a report of open woods on the ridge, we opted for the ridge bushwhack. Started at 8:15. Followed a bearing of 255 degrees up to nearly 3000 feet and...

This was an AMC book hike, billed as a beginner bushwhack, led by Lyn and Annie. Most of the hikers were experienced, but even so, no way we could have gotten the peak. :p We're planning to do Fool Killer this weekend; conditions should be a lot more favorable. :D

10 of us today attempted the Huntingtons via Hancock Notch trail and the Huntington slide. It was clear that since the snow level started at 1900 feet on the Kanc, and that at 2500 feet the snow was thick on the trees, we couldn't take our intended route along the ridge to the col between the...

It was a beautiful weekend for Terri Pinto to finish her NE HH, and I went along to bag my numbers 91 thru 94. We met at 10 am at Cathedral Pines campground north of Stratton, ME on Rte 27, after driving up from Portsmouth, RI (Terri) and Concord, NH (me). We set off north on Rte 27 for the...

Am going to western ME tomorrow to attempt COP Snow, then Saturday White Cap and Boundary. Anybody driven Tim Pond Rd recently? Is it in good shape for a Forester and an Accord between Eustis (Rte 27) and Little Kennebago Lake? Any bridges out? Thanks.

No, this peak is only 3064, thus barely making the 3K list, and far off the NH HH list.

AG and I set out to climb Middle Hitchcock, a NH HH peak and a thick BW by many accounts. Having heard that the terrain was somewhat "open" to the west of West Hitchcock, we set off from Lincoln Woods by the Pemi East Side trail. After 1.0 mile we headed east on a bearing of 105. Initially...

Injury on Marston trail "Also, several of us participated in a litter carry on Friday night. We were just beginning to grill the shrimp kabobs at Abol CG when the ranger told us about a woman who had broken her leg on the Marston trail. We all motored over there and hiked up (<1.5 miles) to...

BW to Fort 3 of us did this same hike 2 days earlier. On the way up North Brother I was startled when a hiker headed down addressed me as "docross" :D Turns out he was Dr Wu, Senior Member of this forum! He, Spencer, and a young lady were doing the Fort/Brothers/Coe traverse that day. The...

Eric, you must be quoting from a rule when you say the "road must be publicly accessible to a normal car...." Did the 4K committee make that rule? If so, it is up to them (and I know you're canvassing them) to decide whether to change the rule to include mtn bikes, 4WD vehicles, etc. In...
