Hmmm....either you saw a bunch more bear...or you HEARD a bunch more scat. Not sure which would be worse...seeing a lot of bear...or HEARING scat...:eek:

UNREAL!!!!! OMG!!!!! Not only should they 86 her from Denali but from any and ALL mountains that are over 500 feet!!! Can't they tag her name somehow so that any time she attempts a permit to climb...she's denied? Probably it wasn't a responsibility thing...more of a decision to request or...

Trail conditions as of 5-17 just checked the web site "Katahdin Trails and the Traveler Loop were checked by a Ranger on 5/17 are not open at this time due to snow and ice above timberline. All trails except Katahdin and Traveler Trails are open. Expect to find numerous blow downs on all...

She is SOOOO cute!! and a budding photographer to boot! Looks like a 4000'er with no snow huh?

WOW!!! Postcard pictures!!! Well, guess that answers my proverbial question: Is there still lots of snow up there :p

Another quickie (question that is ;)) Want to hit Hamlin/Howe with an overnight at Abol 1st week in June. What is the usual snow/ice/water situation on the AT (Abol Slide I think) and then the tablelands/hamlin trails to those two peaks? Thanks.

Anyone been to Acadia lately? Want to take the kidos there next weekend to do some hiking (beehive particularily) and remember how snowy it was last year about this time on some of the trails in the more isolated areas (Pemetic and Cadallic N. trails particularily)...they are not up for any...

I think we just didn't realize how CLOSE it was going to be... Yup...it was nice to see that summit again

We are slowly working our way towards completing the 48’s. Today, we decided to finish (ok…almost) the S. Presies. We had hit both Pierce and Eisenhower last month but had decided to forgo the frustration of trying to get Monroe due to postholing and constantly playing the game “how many times...

From the sounds of it...a hotel might have been better...at least they have trash cans there!!! Sure doesn't sound like they were there for nature!!

B-fast sandwich of some type (preferably NOT from a greasy dive...grease and I are NOT the biggest of friends) and a BIG, FAT, MUFFIN!!!! Oh...and lots of pre-hike coffee!

Ok...which of the 48's would be a good prospect for this weekend? We still need lots but here are some that we are looking at doing: 1. Tripyramids (from the Kanc) 2. Osecolas (from the Kanc) 3. Mt. Jackson (the AT) 4. Mt. Monroe (ammonosic and jewel loop) 5. S. and Middle Carter (19-mile...

Really awesome... The cubs were the cutest!!! BUT...I was wicked impressed when they "pulled" momma out of there!!! Let along getting into her MOUTH (did you see how close the ranger's faces were :eek:).

Are you KIDDING? We LOVE tolls, taxes, and other such useless loss of money...that's why we LIVE IN MAINE!!:eek:

Probably not...from what I've read and seen...it is such a high price (money, physically, and emotionally) and then, once there...it just doesn't seem worth that price... However...would LOVE to hit ABC...that, in and of itself would be very cool!

Good info all around. I think we are going to do Pierce/Ike...and then, depending on weather...over to Monroe...this is about 12.6 miles there and back. how are the cols between each peak? Anything to worry about?

Good question We did Moosalauki (? spelling...I don't think I EVER get that right!) on Sat...and met, somewhere in the neighborhood of 75 - 80 people heading UP as we were heading down...

Just thought it would be cool...we like to see the huts (just to say we've been there?) BUT...if that would make for a stinky hike...then we skip and head straight on the Crawford path. How is the side trip to the Crawford Cliffs? Would that be a worth while diversion?

Looked at my maps last night... Pierce and Eisenhour from the rte 302 trailhead of Crawford path...to Mizpah Hut then over the peaks looks doable... How about that?

Hmmm.... Maybe Tom, Field, and Wiley instead? Or the S. Presis? Other suggestions?
