Any Whiteblazers in the Concord, NH area? It's still pretty snowy, but I'm definitely up for doing some dayhiking on the weekends. Shoot me a PM if you're interested :)

At least one, but he's a bit of a hermit.
I am not in New Hampshire, but I am in upstate New York, and am always up for travel for a hike, especially travel for hiking in New Hampshire, especially on weekends.
I'm in NH, not the Concord area, but always up for possible weekend hikes!! Only around for the next month though!!
April and May are my least favorite months in the Whites. The trails always get post-holed badly in April and then they're muddy streams in May. I know, wah wah wah, but I'm thinking about hiking the Monadnock Sunapee Greenway and maybe the Wapack Trail again in a series of day hikes.

Hi Frosty,
I hiked the MSGT last July. It was great, I didn't meet another sole on the whole trail except the first night at Spiltoir, a couple of day hikers stopped by.
The trail is not marked well from the north side of Monadnock at the new parking area for about two miles NOBO. I had to break out the compass and traverse some woods, but the trail blazes picked up again.
I started at route 124, south of Monadnock, I got to Mount Sunapee 4 days later, iot was rainy and misty, the top was erie, the abandoned lodge and lifts. I got great pictures!
It is a great hike!! Have fun!!

It is a great hike!! Have fun!!Yeah, I've hiked it twice. FIrst time was in April and the Dublin Trail off Monadnock was solid ice. Fell and slid about a hundred feet. Wrenched my side and had a miserable hike. I tried again two years ago, this time with a partner, and he got really sick.
It's a beautiful trail, so this time I'm going to hike it in a series of day hikes, skipping rainy days, etc. I will may spot my bike and ride back to my truck to avoid a whole series of out-and-backs.
Or I may wait until July when the weather is nicer.
I did the Dublin Trail last yeear, and I could hear chain saws off building the new trail. I checked out the new parking lot. Looks like the new trail will cut off about a mile of road walk. I don't mind road walks on dirt roads with no houses, though.

Howdy, Hey anytime you went to get a little muddy come on up and help with a little trail maintenance. It's gonna be a mess cleaning out waterbars and stuff this spring. We can always use a spare set of hands on a pair of loppers.
