Congratulations Earl and Sue! After that many hikes together I bet it would feel like you're doing something wrong or you forgot something if you went out solo! Always better when you can share the experience!

Damn this heat!! You're a sicko, Ryan! I don't even want to walk outside to my car let alone what he is doing.

The SPOT either had problems or they got off the road and made camp. If the last ping is accurate it would be around 14 hours of hiking and just shy of 30 miles. Solid start and they may be even further.

LOL! Ok, I guess I should of been more clear that I meant via the trails they took! I was guessing at about 19 miles, road to road.

Uggg, they're taking on "the suck" right now..road walking with heavy packs and midday sun. Stay strong! Do any NH experts know the exact mileage from the Western Cabot trail head to the Waumbek parking lot?

I'm just trying to figure out when "too late" is.

The "cut herd path" that he referred to was cut over a decade ago. It is NOTHING like any regular "herd path" up the other 46. You would only see short sections with some cut logs nowadays. You need to be very comfortable off trail to enjoy this hike or maybe I should say depends on what kind of...

I noted a log entry in the Battell leanto going up Abe from the col that a Logan and Nara were doing a North bound thruhike. They noted they had gone 155 miles in 26 days in the entry on 2/15 (I think).

Your pic #4 seems to make a very convincing arguement to that collapsed puddle concept. I'm guessing something like a rain storm came thru and the water pooled at the collapsed edges of the rings and the temperature dropped quite quickly freezing them solid. Obviously the pure ice it formed was...

I just returned mine yesterday for the same break, except mine was the left inside heel. I did a lot of climbing post break and they stayed together with just the other strap above it holding it on. EMS took the return and gave me my cash back and said it was the first return on them they have...

My pics Videos of Gothic ridge: video 1 Video 2 Mapple attacks! (Mapple is from the French Canadian forum) Then an Across the ridge video with me playing around with a quick soundtrack add and "stabilizing" the video.

Or worse both! Going through 5-10 years after storm damage can make you want to sit down and quit.

To give you an idea I Googled, "the first crampon ever made" and this came up.

Better bring an extra snowshoe?

I guess I was under the delusion that the end of February or the first week of March was winter, not Spring?;) The guy plowed it within a few days after any substantial snow, that really isn't sporadic. Burns, closed the gate basically right after a rescue took place and then a few cars getting...

Post #5 First few post in this thread should jog your memory.:)

If you want I could make up some stories.:) The handle looks like it is the type with a cord hole loop in it, someone probably used to to throw up a bear bag and got it caught like you see in many places.

YES! Here..

This is a good one! I'm going to bump it since 90%+ of the members here weren't members when this was discussed. Should be fun for people to think about.

I guess I should just say that I have intention to do a Unsupported thru-hike of the White 4's myself. I have a few other things I would like to attempt first but hope to go this year and if not the following year. I was trying to decide between the Whites and the Long Trail and the Whites are...
