Well, I finally found the time to do it - TODAY. And, what a day it was. 7:20: on the trail, gale river trail. camped out the night before on gale river road so i could get an early start. 9:00 at jct with garfield ridge, 4.0 miles in. 9:30 at galehead hut. 29F. socked in above 3700'...

Maybe I'll do it that way. Like you said, long day - what is it, 12+ of hypnotic clamback railroad grade + the bushwhack? How soon after RR Brook to you hang a right and head up? I assume you would take the most westward ridge

Aborted Did not hit it today. It was pretty pea soupish, in the low 40s with a gale, and the trees soaked, so I blew off doing it. Instead, walked down to the Hut (ugh), then down gale river trial, then took some forest service roads back to the North Twin TH. That was a nice walk. The...

Will do. My plan is to take it from the Twinway and battle those high-altitude conifers. I'll be using a map/compass only, not GPS (don't own one).

Hey now, I'm thinking Southwest Twin bushwhack later this week. I have read the very few posts in here that decribe this, but not a lot of into. Some of done it from the west (Franc Brook) some from the Twinway. My plan was to hit it from the Twinway. Will it be hand-to-hand combat with the...

Tim, Nice shot! What do you shoot with? Obviously something much better than my $165 cannon digital!

wildriver - park at the campground, head south, find a place to camp - should be easy along that big, beautiful river. then, you can go up baldfaces and do a loop (lovely above treeline) or go up the other side and do something tasty along the carters.

I damn near hit a cub in Tamworth end of august - was travelling through some dirt roads in the Cleveland Hill area and hadda lock'em up to avoid collision and worse, if mom was following, didn't want mom to destroy the car!

No kidding! Did Chocorua with my kids, MOBBED at the summit. We camped out in the valley near the bolles/bee line intersection and once we were on bee line, ahhh, quiet. traffic on 93S on the way home was a bit 'mouth'

I was in the DRWA earlier this summer and the suspension bridge was out, with a big, bad, threatening sign saying if you go across it, you could go to jail and shell out $5,000 fine. Does anyone know if this is opened or is it still in the broken state? thanks.

Day 1: hike in, make camp up hellgate brook a bit. Day 2: back track, right on linc brook, up owl's head slide, to the new summit, then bushwhack down the E slope to franc brook tr - ended up about 1/10th mi north of hellgate brook, not too bad for map + compass. Was supposed to rain, it...

That web site is cutting-edge! thanks!

The 'whack from Black Pond is very easy to follow as it is getting to be fairly well trodden.

Well, we went up Isolation via the dry river trail. The bridge is indeed "out" as the sign says. The river was running pretty high. Originally, we had planned to go to Eisenhower -> Pierce, but skipped on that due to the river flow and the multiple crossings we would have had to make.

Thinnking of doing a loop from 302 dry river trail, over Eisenhower, over Pierce, etc then back down the dry river trail. The $64,000 question is: will the river crossings be passable? Or, given the piles of rain, impossible? thanks!

Who summitted?

This is a section of the M-S greenway I have been waiting to do for years. Was gonna do it last week, but the weather wasn't cooperative. When I saw those heavy fronts and the big drop in temp predicted for Wednesday, I put in for the time off and made the day out of it. 18 miles. From...

Summary: Climbed Moosilauke today (3/13). Parked on route 118 at the ravine lodge road start, hiked the road, up gorge brook, to the summit, then south to south peak. descent was done down carriage rd to hurricane, back to gorge brook, and the road out to the car. about 10.8 miles. Summit...

Well, I hope to play hookey next week and hit some mid-week turns in So. VT or northern NH. I just got "shaped" skis this year - 171cm - I can really abuse these skis v. my old, heavy, straight missles! it is a lotta fun. Like yuo, I enjoyed heaps of powder all over H20valley on Sunday! BEST!
