[Adk_dib]

Definatly interested in Macnaughton, also I have to do Allen so if anyone going that way you can drag me along. (If I am not oncall that weekend )
When the time comes let me know, thanks. What trailhead for Macnaughton, Upper works?

This hike does not have a leader.

Maybe Spencer can give us some tips on which way is shorter, harder, steeper, etc. ?

Would'nt miss this great gathering !

Thank's Spence & Maddy for organizing this fun BBQ-hiking-partying weekend. Will be there again this year with a bunch of my friends from Quebec.

McNaughton in the summer....hum...will I have to be the test dummy again on the shaky narrow bridge ?

And John, you may want to tie a reflective strap on poor Zippy so that we won't keep stepping on him. Kinda hard to see him in the dark.

I have it covered, I have a flashing LED light for her collar.

Ugh

Well, I set the weekend aside but it looks like I can't make it (again ) I was really hoping to get up there this year. A good friend turned 50 in May and they are having a surprise party for her in Easton, NH on 8/9 (what's up with that? I expected it in May). Frig.

Well, I guess they really wanted to surprise her!

To bad your not coming, I wanted to meet a few more of the nuts in Arm's stories.

Well, I guess they really wanted to surprise her!

That was the idea. Imagine trying to keep a secret for 3 months when 1/4 of the guests are flying in. She knows...

Spencer,

I'm in, but I think you already know that. Hoping we can get out a few times before the Gathering once the CHH are behind us.

 

[Jay H]

I may have to back out of the festivities, may be going out west with Tmax to climb Granite Peak in Montana and Gannett in Wyoming.. Something about being state high points or something like that...

Everything in moderation.

Yes, even moderation needs to be done in moderation, which reminds me of the department of redundancy department that I once thought about thinking about.

This should be a ripper!

 

[Paradox]

Yes, even moderation needs to be done in moderation....!

I can see the next VftT bumper sticker: "Moderators do it in moderation!"

 

[Paradox]

We need to start thinking about food. I'm thinking ice cream for Saturday night.

 

[peak_bgr]

Food is never an issue. Ice cream however would be awesome. I'll save room in my freezer.

I'm going to get the old grill a going and cook up some Mahi Mahi for BBQ part. We will have two grills here if someone else needs grill space.

I just had two small sized loads of wood my dad dropped off for the party. A couple more of those and we should be set.

 

[TCD]

We're over in Keene, so it's a short trip. If we can, we'll get there for part of the party, or maybe revisit McNaughton. It will be nice to meet a few more VFTT folks.

I always thought it would be fun to do McN as a loop, up one way and down another (Preston Ponds and Wallface Ponds, either direction would be fun).

[peak_bgr]

The last loop I did of MacNaughton was up South MacNaughton Drainage and down to Wallface Ponds and back over Indian Pass. But a loop is always a great option for most any hike, IMHO.

 

[Paradox]

Bumping this one up as it is coming up soon!

 

[Gillian]

Looking forward to the ADKs Spence!! Thanks for inviting us again

I almost miss this thread. Yes I'm in.

Let's bag some peaks Huiyeng...that is, if you haven't already got all 46 by then....

 

[HuiYeng]

Hey Gillian, I'm backing out on this one. Have a conflict.
