Although ghostdog and I are members of the Four Thousand Foot Club, we re-hike them during the weekends and during the week too. We also enjoy hiking the 3000'ers and visits to waterfalls and other interesting places. A note via private mail will hook us up.

If anyone is interested I'm planning on doing the following this week:

July 19th Monadnock via Dublin Path (or ODP) starting around 7:00 PM, down in dark plan is to do 2.2 up in an hour & 10 minutes or so, quick rest & back to trees before needing head lamp

July 20th (Something in South Taconics - was thinking Everett but flexible could be Bear or Race, start time would be around 6:45 PM, quick rest (if bear or Everett about 1 1/4 hours up, Race is a little longer

July 21st Norwottuck & likely Bare from the Notch start time around 6:30 PM

Email me at mapaggioli4000@aol.com the day before or or PM me here before 12:00 the day of the hike if I should look for you at the trailhead.

I’ve decided to skip the South Taconic hike today in favor of staying closer to home on the Airline Trail in Colchester, CT. Still planning on a Friday evening hike in the Holyoke Range.

Saturday, the 29th, we're going to Mt Chocorua on Rte 112 via Champney Falls Trail for a 9 am start time. The parking area is about 1.3 miles east of Bear Notch Road. This moderate hike is 7.6 miles, with 2250' of elevaton gain, and a book time of 6 hours. It has spectacular 360° views!

Sunday, the 30th, we're hitting the Kinsmans via Lonesome Lake, Cascade Brook, Fishin' Jimmy and Kinsman Ridge trails. Meet at the Lafayette Campground parking lot I-93 on the south (left) side at the wooden bridge and picnic table. Round trip is 10.0 miles, 3550 feet of elevation gain, and a book time of 7.0 hours. We'll be staying longer as McRat has once again decided to bring ice cream sandwiches for distribution to the A.T. thru hikers! 48 ice cream sandwiches will be given away, 1 for each 4000 footer in NH!
All our hikes will be a moderate paced, mixed company hike, with tons of spectacular views, stops for water, rest, food, and a visit to the Lonesome lake hut to treat the croo with something most special. Hope you can join in on the fun. As always, let me know if you are joining us.

All the best,
Mtn Magic
