I'm looking for some people to join me in Hiking the NH (48) 4,000 footers in a week. I have one person that looks like he will be joining me. But it's not completely confirmed that he is.

That looks like fun! I'd love to join you, but I have family plans and will be closing on my new house that week.

Best of luck to you! Looks like a good time.

 

[Kevin Rooney]

Holy cow! You might get in touch with folks like Tim Seaver, Stinkyfeet or Frodo. I'd add Cath G. to that list but her busy summer schedule makes it hard for her to get away for few hours, much less a day.

 

[Jasonst]

Huh? Are you nuts?

 

[--M.]

I'd like to join you, sounds fun, but that's the same week my kids and I are doing our Himalaya Traverse, 'bagging' the peaks from Everest to K2 (inclusive). It's a school project for the fourth & fifth grades.

Maybe we could do the Pacific Crest Trail on Labor Day.

 

[dRitter]

Hope you're more successful in this venture than the snowshoes ones....

 

[Raymond]

They think you’re crazy, Dave.

Let us know how it goes.

 

[CrazyDave]

I still have those snow shoes that didn't work for me at all. This weekend I'm going to do the CT AT. That will give me a idea of what shape I'm in. I have the endurance, but if we get some super hot days I might have leg cramps.

 

[Tim Seaver]

Best of luck on your 48 in 7, CrazyDave!

You might have a hard time rounding up any takers for such a project on such short notice, but it's worth a shot. I hope you get a good weather window and are able to pull it off

 

[CrazyDave]

Thanks Tim - I'm going to try an get 60 miles in this weekend and see how I hold up. I think I'll be fine, it's the really hot days slow me down. I'm just doing this NH(48) event as a personal Challege. I like to push myself well beyond my comfort zone from time to time.

I would go, in fact it sounds too easy, but I have to wash my hair that week.

Dave's not kidding.
Everything I try to do now is to get to the point where I could seriously contemplate an attempt like this.
No harm in setting high goals, regardless.

 

[giggy]

Dave - go for it - never hurts to set goals.

Seriously, have a great adventure, but this is something totally out of my league!!!!

 

[CrazyDave]

I see people are having fun with this Tread, but I am completely serious about doing this event. And think that I will be able to pull it off. I'm able to get by with very little sleep, and can Hiking for endless miles. There are a number of people on this site that can do this event just by pushing themselves a little beyond their comfort zone.

I'm hoping for at least 2 to join me, so we will be in good shape with the car spots.

 

[LivesToHike]

Go for it...

Good luck with your hike! Sounds challenging but fun.

--LTH

 

[JasonPatrikz]

Doing the same thing!!!

I'm planning on doing the same thing just the week before you i should be finishing on the 15th. Where you're just starting it'll be a good way for me to finish.

Dave, really just joshin' around. No malice intended.

I wish you all the luck, but this isn't my cup of tea.

Best of luck, Brother! I wish I could get my mind in shape enough to even consider thinking about getting my body in shape enough to dream about attempting such a thing. Oh, no! Now I'm starting to get down on myself. I see that reading this thread is going to cost me a few grand in therapy sessions with the shrink.

Anyway, it sounds doable the way you have it laid out. Enjoy "The Zone" when your body, mind and soul click into it. My best wishes to you and anyone who joins you.
