Where to begin...there are so many things. 1. That I can trust people like Sherpa Kroto, Nadine, Arm, Go, Sectional Scott (I still remember the first time I found out there was a forum part to this site and opted to do the Maine 6 pack with complete strangers with my kids) I will never...

P.s. just read your experience re the grouse...just wanted to make sure when people are reading....we didn't kick the bird...just ran down the trail laughing as my son was yelling.

My son was attacked by a grouse coming down the Weeks. It was funny to watch but he was not amused in the least! Wish I had a video of it. He told me that the bird had the same look in her eyes as my daughter's cat when she cases him around the house.

Thanks for sharing that. I have the Golite version and I love it but I noticed that they don't carry it anymore. I was wondering where I could get something similiar. I could carry one bag and fit the 3 of us in it but now that the kids are getting bigger, it's getting a little tight. They...

When we did this trip, we went up Chimney Pond going to Hamlin first and then hitting Baxter and coming down Saddle. My husband, who does not hike often, turned back at the junction before Chimney Pond. The climb up Hamlin was rocky to me but fine...it was a very hot day and there was very...

Congratulations! Now when is his first hike? ha ha.

While hiking the Dix range in NY, we were heading over to Hough when I realized that I had taken my glasses off to look at the map and never put them back on....never did find out where they went. Went back and looked but that was like looking for a needle in a haystack blind. Then a few weeks...

Mole skin and duck tape are the things I have used in the past but also on one of our hikes, I was in my sneakers and the weight of the socks I had on was too thick and just changing them to a lighter weight got rid of the pain and stopped continueing to make a blister. Just a thought.

Just found out from my husband that you got hurt! I told him I didn't like the kids skiing! See what can happen!!! I hope you get well quickly. I need someone to hike with so that I feel like I go fast. ha ha. and P.S. I think this is a little extreme way to get a hug from Beth. All...

Thanks Jay!

I feel for you. I didn't want to get rid of my boots. They were in bad shape by the end of last year with no traction on the bottom, the bottom lifting from the shoe and they were no longer water proof. I hope you can find something to help you. As for mine, my kids said to make them into...

We're planning on going. Look forward to seeing/meeting people that I read posts from.

Have a fun time and let me know if you plan to do it another weekend. We'd love to meet other kids in NH since we live here!

The first time I saw them, they were in our yard all over the snow. I was a little weirded out. I tried to bury them (I know, why?) and realized that wouldn't work. When I figured out they didn't act like fleas, I just try to ignore them because it is weird to see them all over the white...

Memorial Day weekend is suppose to be the award ceremony in NY and we are planning on going there. July 14-16 is also the NY Family weekend and I'm not sure when the VFTT gathering is but those dates for me pose a conflict. I realize the more people we get, the harder it will get so just go...

Puck...depending on how many of us go, backpacking in to 13 Falls or other places could be a problem because of the size of the group. It also may limit some people who don't/aren't ready yet to pack in and then hike.....just a thought. July 14-16 is the family weekend in the ADKs, so I'm...

Thanks Puc! Maybe we can take a pole for dates to get ours more down pat. I know Mav has already done this for the ADK site.

Sly....sure you can....you don't have kids to come but most people might not want to be around a bunch of teenage girls. he he :p Mav...we will try to do both. I love the Daks and wouldn't miss it. I'll keep an eye out for the dates. My kids are looking forward to getting out with your...

Thanks for all the info! Now I just have to hide this thread from my husband. He probably thinks he's safe because I can't easily drive there and back in a weekend!!! :D

I'm glad to hear there are some kids out there! Where are all the girls? When do we think would be a good time to plan this taking into account bugs and rainy seasons....just wondering so we can atleast find a place that would be a good starting point. I like the 13 Falls idea. I've never...
