Nice. A friend request followed up by smack talk. Most of my activity is on FB. My trail reports are amost always on New England Trail Conditions. I like how their input is formatted instead of the free form approach on VFTT.

Hiked in on the Greeley Ponds Trail from the Waterville side. Greeley Ponds Trail is basically a super highway; wide and well packed out. We wore snowshoes the entire day but this section could have been bare-booted. Broke out the entire length of the Timber Camp Trail. Occasionally...

Trail Conditions: We traversed from north (junction with Kinsman Ridge Trail) to south (trailhead off of 112). It had rained a few days previous to the hike so areas that may normally have been dry were in various degrees of wet. The upper portion, especially from Gordon Pond south for a mile...

Trail Conditions: We traversed from west (Bear Notch Road) to east (Dianna's Bath). The three miles in the middle are exactly as described in the WMG; varying levels of overgrown. We didn't have any problems following the trail corridor but in several areas the hobble bush and\or trees were...

Trails: Sawyer Pond & Hancock Notch Trail Conditions: The Sawyer Pond Trail, aside from the first Kanc side crossing (you will get wet feet), is in great shape. The Hancock Notch Trail is a different story. It has something for everybody, though not at the same time. I traversed it from...

Date of Hike: 19 Jul 2014 Trail Conditions: The Pemi East Side, Pine Island, Wilderness and Thoreau Falls trails are all in good shape. The Pemi East has recently had a lot of work done to its water bars and drainage troughs. It has some serious washouts but go-arounds are in place. Pine...

Loop hike starting at Signal Ridge Trail Head. Followed SRT until the split and then traveled down the Carrigain Notch Trail. While on the Carrigain Notch Trail, at the point where you have to go around the boulder sitting in middle of the trail, we came across Peppersass & Friends. After...

I use a Klymit Static V ( http://www.klymit.com/index.php/products-1/sleeping-pads/static-v.html ). Great price, small and pretty comfy.

The lens I use the most is an F4 16-70mm (24-105 FF equivalent). On trips that go above tree line I'll bring along a 10-18mm (15-27mm FF equivalent) for the added width. For overnights or gloomy days I'll use a 24mm F1.8 prime.

My wife and I hiked the Old Highway (Burleigh side), Old Mountain Road and a mile (east) on the Crawford-Ridgepole Trail yesterday (1/15) and none of it was broken out. The north end of Old Mountain Road up to Mt Livermore is broken out. Lots of activity at the Mt Morgan and Rattlesnake...

A Garmin GPS was found on the Fishin' Jimmy Trail and turned into the Lonesome Lake Hut caretaker. As of this writing she still has it at the hut but plans to turn it into the Highland Center.

Chalk it up to the abnormally hot weather and lack of acclimation to same. It's nowhere near time for you....

Glad it ended well. You brought up a good point that I hadn't thought about until now. The AMC website doesn't show a layout, at least not that I've seen outside of actually visiting site itself. They provide cost, number of pads, etc but not the general layout. For the most part it's...
