Zealand-Bonds Traverse, Sunday September 6

[Laurie Maynard]

Yes!! Small world, or mountains!, indeed! Russ remembers being told that Geri hurt her foot on a rock. I hope that is healing well for her.

At the time our paths crossed Russ and I were headed to spend the night on Zeacliff. We started our journey on Friday by heading up and over the Twins then spent two nights at Guyot. We had a total of three nights and four days out there and summited seven 4k's! We finished our weekend with a trip over Hale on Monday. Great weekend for sure!

Small world indeed!!! I wish I'd thought to yell "Alligator Eggs"...

Terra does have a tendency to leave me behind, I wouldn't call it sarcasm!

It was just an amazing day; this might have been about as close to "perfect" as I could ever call a hike. I don't have enough adjectives, so just head over to my photo album from the hike.

Yes!! S

Oh cool, Laurie, did you stay at ZeaCliff Pond? That's a special place for me. My first time in the Whites I came for a three day backpack in the Pemi after a backpack in Nova Scotia (road trip!), and the first night I camped in the Pemi Wilderness, East Side, not too far from LW -- found my site in the dark. The next night I stayed at ZeaCliff, what a great place to be. Soooo different from so many places I was accustomed to...crazy weather, the works...The Whites still find ways to amaze me.

Glad you had a great trip, hope we can all hike someday.

I've seen this phrase floating around the forum...what does it reference? I'm sure there is a funny story behind this.

But she did wait for you so that's something right?

No, we saw the tentsites at the junction area before heading down to the pond, but we stayed on Zeacliff itself. It was really nice to catch the sunrise the next morning.

Thanks for the link! That was good for some laughs for sure! I couldn't read all 10 pages mind you so I read page one and 10.
