Our time was 32.28.....GREAT job! [thumbsup]

[Rasty]

I am too intense and I need a drink, Rasty what is in the Nagalene tonight? Someone help me collect some firewood for tonight's fire. Hopefully it won't be windy.

Tonight the Bar special is a Moonshinetini! With bleu cheese stuffed olives!

[rocketsocks]

I'm glad I brought some winter gear. I'm off tomorrow and will be going hiking. The plan is to do 8 miles on Lafayette and Lincoln. The weather at 5200' is calling for 25 degrees and 30 mph winds. Hikerboy knows me well enough to know that means shorts and a long sleeve shirt while hiking and I will probably complain that it's hot. I will have full winter gear in my pack.cool, have a good hike Rasty.

[rocketsocks]

I never understand while peeps ask if they should bring gloves, hats, or rain pants on early spring starts on the AT...like somehow the weather is supposed to know it's spring and not to precipitate and Mr. N.Wind should not blow.....I learned in cub scouts...be prepared.

42 kilometers

48.3 kmph.

That's an awesome hike, Rasty. I did it September 9 on a perfect day. One of the prettiest places in the northeast. If time permits, you might consider doing a fuller Franconia Ridge traverse, ascending via Flume Slide Trail, crossing via Franconia Ridge, and descending the Old Bridle Path, with a couple miles walk back to your car on the bike path. Flume Slide's notoriously difficult, but no harder, I'd reckon, than the ascent you did off-trail in Tuckerman Ravine, though being shaded Flume would be snowier and maybe icy in some places.

[HikerMom58]

GREAT job! [thumbsup]

Thanks Trillium :)

Picked up Chin Music and B-Rocket on US 60 today a little after 3 pm and bought them into town to grab some food. Took them back and dropped them off around 5 pm. Good people. Glad I had a chance to meet them.

Sounds fun but would be out of my range for tomorrow. I need to be back to Manchester by 6 pm again for a meeting. Work keeps getting in the way of Hiking! If I come back in June I'm going to add a few days to my trip for real hiking.

Once you've done Franconia and Washington, I strongly recommend, based on what I've read and heard, not on direct experience, that you consider a Twins-Bonds Hike/Traverse, with a stay-over at Guyot campsite. The sunsets from West Bond and Bondcliff are legendary. I hope to do some variation of that hike myself this summer.

A way you could do it to maximize your hike would be to ascend Garfield, tap it, cross to Galehead and tap it, ascend South Twin, pop north to North Twin and back, wend over to Guyot, then do the Bonds afterward (legendary sunsets). From there, you could hit Zealand and see the falls near the hut, and, depending on time and legs and weather, etc., cross over, do Field, Willey and Tom, descending to Crawford Notch at the Highland Center and getting a ride from there to place of beginning. That would be 10 4000-footers and some of the best hiking in the northeast.

Sign me up Driver8... sounds great. As long as the snow is gone, I'd love to do it! :)

[Driver8]

PS: I just checked the below, and the forecast for Mt. W summit is pretty fierce tomorrow. Teens with wind chills in the teens below. Add maybe 5 * F to those figures for F Ridge, and you're talking some fun, and the hut will not yet be open. Be ready for mid-February, not mid-May.

I would take Mahosucs over that. Both spectacular but I think Rasty will like the notch. When I did it on my thru I was the fastest of the six of us. Only took an hour & half to do the mile.

Looks like PCT just so of Sonora pass when I did it. Trail was gone! Obliterated by winter snow. I could see in the valley below where I had to go & figured my route via my map. As situation was a bit tenuous crossing snow bridges along a steam in this ravine I kept hearing voices. Thought my mind was playing games with me untill climbing out of it I came to a campsite of a few other hikers.

Hikerboy knows me well enough to know that means shorts and a long sleeve shirt while hiking and I will probably complain that it's hot. I will have full winter gear in my pack.

We did a 20 state summer vacation, and yes the most boring part was diving across the entire state of Kansas. The only real high light of KS was stopping the Eisenhower Library.

Yes, that's the same green shirt! Gallop for the Greenway is the name of the 5k. The new shirts this year, for the same race, are navy blue but the sizes this year were wayyy off. They were HUGE so we couldn't wear them! :( I had a really great time... thanks FC!

Yo Rasty, did you hike today? I didnt see the register at Greenleaf. Anyway, let me know how much longer you are up. We have a hiking gig at the local theater, Red River in Concord on Friday if you wanna come watch the Nat Geo movie and participate in our panel talk. Would be great to have some seasoned hikers in the crowd. We could go have a beer after.

I did a lot of hiking today!

1st - Lincoln & Lafayette counterclockwise. Amazing hike.

2nd - Chocorua up the Falls trail from route 112. The last 3/4 mile is really cool.

Total of 16 miles today and just made my 6 pm meeting in Manchester.

I think I need to do a formal poll.

I think it depends on what you prefer - grand views or challenging climbs. Personally, come to think of it, if I'm you, and I'm adding a few days on, I'd consider heading up to Baxter now that you've gotten a taste of the Whites. Or over to Mansfield/Camel's Hump or the Adirondacks. Or the Bigelows in Maine.

Based on your demonstrated hiking capabilities, I'd say you could have fun in a day doing the Moosilauke N-S A-T traverse up past the falls, if you can get someone to spot a car with you (Chaco comes to mind - I'd bet you and he have similar pace), then head over and do a Carter Dome loop, up via the Notch, taking in the views from Mt. Hight (a shoulder of the Dome with renowned views). That would, on a clear day, give you the grand southwestern and northeastern views into and out of the Whites, to go with what you've done already. Come to think of it, morning in the Carters and evening at Moosilauke would be pretty special.

your num loc is off! is it a lap top? looki at the digital keypad to the left and top left is numloc. if you do not have one you have to use the numbers at the top while holding alt.

Although I could drive down myself but then what would I do with the car; would have to return home. I'm conflicted because I have also been there, done that...twice as a matter fact. But I saw on the schedule that Jennifer Pharr Davis is going to be speaking and I would love to hear her...and also meet some of you wonderful peeps. Have I told you that I ♥ this café?

The people here are great. Hmmm...Well....there is Rocketsocks...:-? he he

[Astro]

The bag of frozen peas really helps!:o

Been there, done that. Remember before it Dr. asking if we were sure we wanted to do this, told him we had four children 8 and under, he just went on to the next question. :rolleyes:

Hi there Trillium! :welcome

...few of you will remember, having that ADD and all, but Trillium played a part in one of the Cafe Detectives' most famous mysteries:The Strange Case of Rory-No-Morey and The Purloined Sleeping Bag :)

[Trillium]

It's really good to have you join in the fun, Trillium... welcome, welcome! :)Thanks very much HM! I'm really enjoying reading all the jocularity!

[Train Wreck]

Is that like sleeping under the shelter?

In my house, unfortunately, yes :o

[Train Wreck]

Thanks for the welcome. Not sure if I am the Trillium that you are talking about in regard to a mystery.

[HikerMom58]

HM, when are you headed out for your hike?

Heading out Friday Morning... :) Y'all have a great time at TD. Wish I could be there!! Next time.... :)

Hi TW! Thanks for the welcome. Not sure if I am the Trillium that you are talking about in regard to a mystery.

I'm pretty sure it was you. The guy was being dishonest. But now I think of it the thread might have been deleted. I'll shut up before I get in trouble. :eek:

[Trillium]

I'm pretty sure it was you. The guy was being dishonest. But now I think of it the thread might have been deleted. I'll shut up before I get in trouble. :eek:oh yes, I definitely remember now. I love the way you described that thread "The Strange Case of Rory-No-Morey and The Purloined Sleeping Bag". Sounds a bit like the Nancy Drew books that I liked so much growing up.

Be careful, or Train Wreck may decide that is an improper use for a library! Besides, how many of the big books are you willing to cart around in that pack of yours?

[S'more]

I was at the Parking lot at around 12:15, but I stopped at the AMC lodge and had a cup of coffee. I think I was at Lafayette around 10:00 so that could be me?

Let's just say it is!

[S'more]

I have three degrees (BS, MBA, PhD) and I still do not want to go to the hassle of fooling with them. :(

Wow, Dr. Astro! I do not have the stamina to go for the PhD. I will settle for my A.A., BSW, MEd, and soon MLS. (unless I get another wild hair to go for the PhD. If I do, I will make my brother call me Dr.! :banana :banana )

Wish I could join you!! Even for the day. I was scheduled to do a very short section this weekend, but that is not happening either....

About to head out of Hot Springs, sure glad to be out of the Smokies and back into my tent! Laughing heart hostel was a nice stay here, nice alturnative to Elmers. Although everyone should stay at Elmers at least once. Still a lot of hikers around, there's still a big bubble of us straglers.
Living the dream...at least until Virginia :)

aw man, If I were going to do that small section, it would put me in that area....
