I plan on hitting the Welch Dickey Loop one day and Garfield another with the Lancaster fair thrown in between. My little princess may make Garfield a Father son hike only. Ow Pats Thurs night.

OK, I'll put it here too. Hoping to do a 1/2 Pemi loop on Sunday. Starting from Lincoln Woods and going across the Franconia Ridge, over to Garfield, and then returning via 13 Falls. I've been doing some marathon training, so instead of continuing across South Twin and the Bonds, I'd like to use the flattish route out from 13 Falls as a nice run back to Lincoln Woods. This way I get a training run and a hike above treeline on the same day!

Well...

I'd really like to be out for a weekend backpack or at least two strenous hiking days, but I may be getting suckered into a family thing involving food I don't eat, ridicule and criticism regarding my food choices, digs at why I spend so much time hiking and not enough time doing family things, etc etc.

Just thinking about it makes my head spin!

Man, that sounds like fun. I wish I had a nice stretch of scenic road like the Kanc around here...

And a traverse with Isolation? Are you planning on going over to Boot Spur from Washington? That should be a 30+ mile day... too bad sunlight is slowly going away (the only part I hate about winter).


Oh yeah, I'm going away to Switzerland next week. Plan on spending lots of time around Zermatt and the Jungfrau region. Then at the end of the week I have a wedding of a friend to attend in Altdorf (origin of the William Tell story).

Planning to do Jefferson via Ridge of Caps trail to washington to monroe and down the Ammo and back to the car unless I find some friends to drive up and then we can leave a car at the cog p-lot.

Hoping to do another hike as well. Maybe Jackson, pierce and eisenhower or waumbek depending on where we stay over the weekend. Not sure if i can pay for the gas to drive from home and back each day. It might be cheaper to get a hotel.

ga2ski - I hope you get your car spot because it's a long, bleah, uphill walk from Ammo back up Jefferson Notch Road. And it's not a road for pedestrians so do be careful!

I'll probably hike around a Fair or two as I do each Labor Day. I haven't been to the North Hampton (Tri-State) Fair for a few years now, maybe I'll go there. :wink:
