    AT - Riga Shelter to MA border, 7/24/11

    Hiked up the fire road from Mt. Washington Rd. about .2 miles south of the MA border (trail may be called Bear Mt. Trail? - a little confusing). Caught the AT and headed south to Riga Shelter. Turned back and headed north over Bear Mt. down to Sages Ravine to the MA border sign. Then headed...

    Jennifer Pharr Davis - Article in NYT

    I agree! I just finished it last week and it's my favorite by far. I found Leslie Mass' too personal and AWOL's too day-to-day, but Jennifer does a great job of balancing both. Even in her first thru-hike she was fast, pulling 30 mile days pretty consistently. She was very modest about it, but...

    Interesting Back Issues, hiking 70's style

    Makes sense. I didn't think surveying skills had improved that much since the 70s to cause complete re-rank, but I'm not a civil engineer so I figured I'd ask :)

    Interesting Back Issues, hiking 70's style

    A great day for Field, Willey, and Tom

    Pictures are here. My sister, Lauren, is my hiking good luck charm. After yesterday I’ve hiked 11 4Ks with her and every time we have PERFECT weather. I had been wanting to hike the loop over Tom, Field, and Willey for a while and last week while I was hanging out at the Highland Center, I...

    Hiking the Cog ?

    This was posted a while back, but it's listed here as an escape route. They'd be using it in the winter though so they probably don't have to worry about running into anyone, but maybe that validates it a bit more.

    School trip suggestions

    The Fells? I hiked Monadnock as a 6th grader and loved it, but I also remember many classmates didn't make it all the way which I agree could be disappointing. The Fells have some nice trails and great views of Boston, especially the Pine Hill area. Plus it's close.
