Hey - congratulations Hui Yeng! Reading all the trip reports today has made me quite homesick for the old gang and our white mountain shenanigans. Would have been fun to be along for the trip. Dig the blue pants, Kim. R

Two thumbs up for this jacket - it's probably my favorite piece of kit. I think it would be a little too fragile for bushwhacking, though (we don't have to worry about that too much over here!). Also, no pit zips and no hand pockets, which keeps the weight down but reduces the comfort. Rebecca

I've had to change my travel plans and won't be able to attend this gathering, which is very disappointing. Hope you all have a great time! Rebecca

yay! Will be back on the left side of the pond for a visit, and I think I might be able to make this now that the dates have changed. Have really enjoyed this gathering in the past, and look forward to seeing everyone again! Rebecca

Ummm...nice pants (err, trousers, err, wait, actually they are pants) Mats. Looks like a fun big day out, despite the crap snow. But no more taking Cruddy out on big hikes. I need to be able to keep up with him when he comes over to hit the mtns with me!

One time, on Tecumseh, I saw Frodo too! He must go there all the time. Job well done, Mats. Way to be brave. I didn't know about the lost disco ball. Let's see...there's that, the Darth Vader helmet, the SPOT locator, a coupla dozen empty mini kegs...

hey MEB - got your message. probably be back home around April or May. miss you!

Sounds like an awesome trip with some of the most fun people I know. The hiking sounds like a good time, but I'm mostly jealous of all the food you consumed. Mmmm...MEB's homemade sauce. Congrats Arm! Donna, what will you do when you no longer have a Scar Ridge, errr Coe, errrr Vose Spur...

just bumping this up...see you tomorrow!

I'll be back in town for a few days and thought it would be fun to try to get some VFTT-ers out for a beer night. This place has worked well for a couple of past events. Close to public transportation and plenty of parking available behind the building. I'll plan to be there around 6pm...

Based on my limited experience, reservations are possible, and encouraged. My own general rule of thumb is to reserve a place where you think there's a risk you won't get a spot, or the cost of not doing so would be high (no other options around). Weekends, particularly Saturdays, seem to be...

Ryan and I recently spent two weeks hiking in the French Alps (with a bit of Switzerland thrown in for good measure) along a portion of the Grande Randonnée #5 (GR5). The route we followed began in St. Gingolph, on the shores of Lake Geneva, and continued south to the small French city of...

Hey MEB! Was planning to try to call you while you were at Altopia this weekend, then went and forgot my phone at home. Glad you're enjoying being in your regular stomping grounds. Hope Mtn Mama treated you well yesterday! Good luck on the rest of the trip to Katahdin!

I sure do like your purty new avatar.

I have really enjoyed this gathering the past couple of years, and I'm sorry that I won't be able to make it this time. Have a great time! Rebecca

Congrats! That's fantastic! I have been following her blog, but it's been a while since the last update and I wasn't sure what had happened since she seemed to be having health issues. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story! Rebecca

I went about 3 years ago inthe fall to the Annapurna Sancutary and was part of an organized trip through Kumuka (www.kumuka.com). Their rates were incredibly reasonable compared to most established tour companies, and I thought they did a good job. We ended up being just two of us walking, with...

nice one! Sounds like this was a fun day out. However, I'm thinking that the mysterious man in black there didn't get the memo about what to wear for a bushwhack. Everyone knows real whackers wear wool trousers... Miss you guys! Rebecca

Congrats & Good Luck! MEB - so sorry to have missed out on the big finish. Congratulations on your accomplishment! I am really looking forward to following your next adventure online. Have a fun trip down south and a successful lauch to your AT hike! Rebecca
