Spring Hikes with Emma April/May 2011

[Kevin Judy and Emma]

I haven't checked in for awhile, so thought I'd share some pics. After bouts with Pancreatitis, a sore shoulder and kennel cough early in the year, I'm feeling much better, and I've been taking Kevin and Judy on some walks in the mountains. Little ones at first, but we're working our way back up to be ready for some big ones and some of my favorite: backpacking overnights!

I'm leading the way on the Boulder Trail up Mount Major 4/2/2011

My view out over the Big Pond from the summit!

One day we went to Diana's Baths 4/16

Another day we hiked Gunstock Mtn. and Belknap Mtn. 4/30

I wanted to ski, but Judy wouldn't let me 'cause my shoulder was still sore!

Next we went across the Big Pond to the Ossipees 5/7

Over there are the hills we hiked last time!

Here I am on the summit of Mount Roberts. I've never been here before!

We had to leave before we were done hiking 'cause it was gonna' rain hard!

Part Two

As you can see, spring was creeping up the mountains in the Ossipees! 5/12

Here I am on the top of a turtle, Turtleback Mtn.!

It was spring in the valley below us!

One day we went to Pawtuckaway looking for something called wildflowers!
5/24

Then, last weekend, we went to Rangeley and hiked 2nd Bemis Mtn.

We checked in at Bemis Mtn. Lean-to

Things began to clear as we hiked back down!

So, we went for a boat ride in my uncle's new boat!

Lots more pics of me can be found here:

Hope you enjoy!
