    An impromptu gathering at Mt. Tom 01/19/08

    Glad to hear that all of you had such a wonderful day out doors, meeting and greeting one another. I wish that I could have been there, but other obligations called me away from my playground. Regards, Ridgewalker

    The passing of a member of our hiking family.................

    Dear Neil and Sylvie, Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. While I did not have the chance to share an adventure with Dominic, I admire his passion and connection he found in the mountains. You will be in my thoughts and prayers constantly. My affectionate respects to you and yours...

    Tripyramids up Pine Bend 12/27/07

    Ray, Marty, LarryD, and I began our climb at the crack of dawn and crossed several brooks with a little drama provided by me at the third crossing. Luckilly the gaitors prevented my legs from getting wet. The ascent up the ravine climbed steadily as we huffed and puffed up the packed trail. We...

    When I Die...

    I quote J.M Barrie, To die will be an awfully big adventure, the next great hike. I do not feel exempt in any manner to contemplate what to do with my body when the time comes. My body shouldn't be injected with formaldehyde or laid out in an expensive mahogany casket. I shouldn't want my...

    Who are the legends of the New England mountains?

    I consider the Crawford family very legendary, for their steadfast perserverence, faith, and forsight to be something worthy of admiration. Whenever I pick up Crawfords' History of the White Mountains the rich narritive and story reminds me of why our mountains are like they are today. To this...

    Carrigan via Signal Ridge 9/30/07

    Marty, Ray and I hiked yesterday to Mount Carrigan on the Signal Ridge Trail. Starting at quarter to nine, we hiked into the terrific foliage. Leaves were turning into a crispy yellow and settling into the rocky steps, making it into one of those calendar perfect memories. My companions spoke...
