So sorry to hear about your dog loss. I realize how difficult it is to lose a family pet. I lost a wonderful hiking companion suddenly in 2000 and I was pretty devastated, since it was unexpected. At least your dog had a wonderful life and her last day was spent in the mountains!! You can't ask...

HOLY SMOKES is he cute!! You won't regret that purchase!!! He will surely be a wonderful family dog, congratulations, your kids must be beyond excited!!! Happy Trails!!! Maybe this will get your kids out hiking more!!:)

Glad to here your persevering despite the setback! It certainly would be ashamed to have missed a gorgeous weekend in the woods! Its a great mental detox! Best of luck on the presi traverse this summer!

Thanx for the link, it was great! A great program!!!

Beautiful! My husband and his buddy left early thursday, skiied in and wanted to ice climb friday. His friend's crampon broke on one short ice climb they were doing and the avalanche danger and white out conditions forced them to leave Saturday since conditions were n't improving.

Anything in the Evans Notch area, it is my all time favorite, Caribou, Blueberry, Baldfaces, Royce, West Royce, Eastman, etc. all good stuff. Magollaway, Mt. Forist in berlin. I've never been in the Mahoosics, but I bet hayes, Old Speck, Goosey Eye would be cool. Bald Ledge in New Hampton, an...

FUDGE! Wow!

Is it me or does it seem like SAR is very busy this year? More people more accidents?

Sounds like your getting stronger and stronger Chris! That is quite a bit of mileage/elevation!! I love the smiles, despite being tired and DB not feeling well. Then to have a challenging drive home! Wow! Glad to hear everyone arrived home safely!!

I wonder how long it will be before we read his obit? I agree. One thing that gets me is how fair is that to live that lifestyle when you have children? I for one feel that it selfish to try and do this whe they try to do both. Not only do the kids risk losing a father, he's probably gone a...

OMG- that's my husband explaining why he repeatedly does 6 gaps! Love it!!!! Soooo true!! In the off season he smashes his hands against ice until he gets the screaming barfies from the cold.

"efficiency" now that is well stated. I suppose hunter gatherer's became quite efficient as part of survival, now it might be called "laziness!!!" I'm fascinated by people (particuarly those whom I work with) who don't get out into nature and excercise. My boss, my colleagues none of them have...

Stunning photos! !What a bluebird day!!!

I agree with this as well. I was the kid who was always out til' dark andwas off riding my bike, playing "dodgeball" walking around town as a preteen then in high school started running, road cycling, riding horses, going into adulthood started hiking, xc skiing, running, mtn biking. So I think...

I like how your trying to convince yourself of how much winter hiking is!! ;) Good job, those 3 are schallenging, sounds like the weather cooperated on that one~! Glad you ran into people to hike with for the tough section! you are gettin' her done!

Wow your crankin' them out!! Great job for getting out in the cold and wind! I have this fear of a tree limb or tree landing on my head on those really windy days! While heading out to the barn this weekend a large "crack" rang out in the tree above and I started running like crazy, trying to...

I also HATE exercise on what I call the "artificial" stuff. My husband has a rower and he for some god forsaken reason "loves it." I can't ride a rower, a stationary bike, treadmill, or nordictrack or any other stupid gadget. I always wonder what an alien would think of humans riding these...

Congrats Sue and Earl! I've been quietly following your journey and have been amazed at some if your epic trip reports! You both have incredible stamina, energy and motivation! Phenomenal!

Cool pics! Lauky sounds like my dog who has an amazing nose for finding his tennis balls he lost last fall buried in the snow, along with some unlucky varmints. That place has character that's for sure!

:D Oh boy, now everyone will be hearing the words to the sound of music hiking that stretch, but it's so true!!
