Una_dogger's Almanac: Summer 2008 Weather Predictions

[Jason Berard]

• work on my section of AT
• begin corridor monitoring for same section of AT
• backpacking trip involving Mt. Nancy, Vose Spur, and possibly the pemi plane crash memorial plaque
• PatN
• Mendon( possibly as loop BW with Killington and Pico) and Dorset in VT
• Backpacking trip to Willard Notch
• Scar ridge

can you guess I'm working on the NEHH?
I want to "clean up" NH and VT peaks before I start in ME.

I hate to see skiing winding down but warm weather is sounding better and better.

That's the truth..snowed here a bit last night...more friday???

Plans for upcoming season's include:

working on bushwacking skills for NH100

finish NE4k's...Baxter in August with gang of 4

Smuggs to Canada on LT in October

Bond's Traverse, Presi Traverse


May your stream crossings be dry
and the wind be always at your back

 

[Ed'n Lauky]

My goal is to feed the Gray Jays on top of all the 48 peaks this summer.

 

[KayakDan]

Sail for 8 days on Lake Champlain
Sail for 5 days on Penbscot Bay
Kayak camp in Muscongus Bay
Get some summer evening paddling in Ipswich and Gloucester
Climb Mt Washington--and maybe another Presi overnight trip.

OK,so maybe my priorities are a little screwed up.

 

[leaf]

-Joshua Tree Nat'l Park in Mid-May
-Alaska in early June for 6-day mountaineering course and a summit attempt of neighboring Denali peak (Control Tower, Kahiltna Dome, Francis..)
-Great Range Traverse in mid-June
-Pres-traverse and Pemi Loop-in-a-day in early/mid July (if whenever una_dog tells me we are going)
-Mtn bike trip in either June/July in NY or VT
-Kayak a few local rivers
-Six summer Yankee games!!
-Try to squeeze Baxter in all that, maybe early August or wait till Fall.
-Attempt to get over to Las Vegas to see a friend and hit up Zion Nat'l Park (might wait for late Fall/early Winter for this)
-Climb some rocks

WOOHOO!

 

[Adk_dib]

Santanoni's in july
cliff/redfield in early august
allen in august
finishing my 46 on sawteeth in august!
working on my catskill 35, I have 20.

All this depends on if my best girl "Bailey" doesn't tear another ligament. Thank god they only have two back legs becouse my last two summers have been cut short for baby sitting her.

 

[yvon]

I will do the 4 summits to complete my ADK 46, I hope early this summer on Dix.
And during our summer vacation we should go in NH to climb summits.

 

[weatherman]

Hike with my wife on a tropical island. Treat my kids' Nature Deficit Disorder. And if that works, finish my NH48 simultaneously with my Dad on Isolation. I have 5 left, he has 2. He's retired. Guess who has a better shot?

[Kevin Judy and Emma]

This summer...

I will walk along the forest trails and marvel at the beautiful wildflowers. I will watch the last of the snows melt off of the mountains. I will listen to the water trickling over the rocks and wonder how long it will be on the earth before it is lifted back into the heavens to fall again. I will lay in an open field and listen to the birds. I will sleep under the stars and moon and when I awake I will watch the sun climb above the horizon. I will feel it warm me as I watch it cast shadows on the surrounding mountains, and I will watch them disappear as the sun claims the sky. I will watch clouds form and dissipate around the mountaintops. I will watch butterflies dance through the air. I will dive into a cold, deep mountain stream. I will be glad that I am alive. That's my to do list this summer.

[Steve-o]

I vow to get out with friends and have fun.
If I happen to have an "epic" experience, that's good too!

 

[Bob]

Mt Monadnock
Gathering of the VIBES.
Barely Live '08.
Tuckerman Ravine Memorial Day
Gannett or Granite Peak

[timmus]

Crazy stuff coming up !!

You'll get to know when the TR's will be online



One thing I can share right now : There will be another awesome list finish for me, somewhere in Maine, probably on the Bigelows in September (Northeast 115).

 

[giggy]

Both Iron Maiden and Motley Crue are doing summer tours at Tweeter Center

that could be fun..

 

[BlackBuffalo]

Mount Mitchell, NC. and other impressive peaks down there next month.
New and repeat summits of NE48. We'll see.
A couple more peaks above 3000 in NY Cats or ADK.
And be outdoors more.

 

[Raymond]

My son, Cameron, and I will visit the Adirondacks so he can climb the final seven High Peaks he needs to complete the 46.

I’m hoping I can get my ladyfriend, Susan, up the final 11 White Mountain 4000-footers she needs to complete the Northeast 115. She’s afraid her knees are giving out, so that may be too tough.

For the umpteenth consecutive year, I’d like to hike through Mahoosuc Notch.

Maybe I’ll go looking for the stuff I lost last year while looking for some summits.

 

[Little Rickie]

Maybe a traverse or two.
I've joined a gym and am hitting it hard now.
Help Rookie finish his 46!
Work on my winter 46.
Do some long camping weekends and knock off some ranges.
Have some fun, maybe do some over again, try a few HH.
Get my family to join me on some climbs.

 

[prino]

Watch Funky Freddy play his guitar in March.
Canoe the Raisin River Race in April.
Trail work with the Adk (Dix) in May.
Ride my 5th Rideau lakes tour in June.
Walk in the Peak district again in July.
Hike in the Tatras in Hungary in August.

Almost forgot.... get back to the Whites this summer!
