Well, things are starting to fall into place. The first two big trips are planned, a traverse of the Devil's Path in the Catskills, and another traverse of the Great Range in the Adirondacks, both of which are over 8000' of ascent and over 18 miles. We also got our Baxter reservations for midsummer, right at Katahdin Stream campground, so with fingers crossed for good weather it will be a total peakbagging trip: the Brothers, Fort, Coe, Hamlin, and Baxter peak in two 12-mile days.

I'm skiing this Sunday, but I'm ready to start bicycling!
