Speaking of hiking..Mrs. R mentioned the other day at work about maybe a hike on the 29th. Mrs. Moose is up for it. We climbed Whiteface (in the Whites) a couple Saturdays ago - that's about it since my Gulf of Slides trip in April. Lets try to make it happen.

Welcome and stay safe. Johnnymountain.
Hello group! Just got back from vacation. On June 30 we went up Hunt Trail (Baxter State Park - Katahdin) until the lighting chased us down. Made is as far as the top of the boulder field. 2.8 inches of rain that day turned Hunt trail into a good sized stream for about a mile. Next day took AT to Abol Stream Camp ground and called it quits. Too much gear (too heavy) = foot problems)

Hello All,
I have recently joined the 'Zone' and wanted to get rid of that pesky reminder that I have never posted anything yet.
I live just south of Albany NY (Bethlehem) with my wife and three young children.
Besides my day job, I work as a snowsports instructor at Jiminy Peak in MA. I am PSIA (Poor Skiers Imitating Austrians) Certified Level I Alpine.
I took the gig because I was struggling with how to afford being a skiing family. I ended up working with some super cool people and have embraced the mountain lifestyle - on a part time basis. Based on how much I work at keeping us all skiing, I imagine that I would have enough experience to write a book. I'll call it "Art of the Scam".
Long term, I hope to stave off the negative effects of old age and working in an office until I retire and adopt the lifestyle full time. This assumes the kids will be able to feed themselves by then.
Florida is not for me.
Happy Trails

Welcome skiprob!
New member intro
I just happened on to this forum while searching for information relating to a planned trip in October to the Maine White Mts. My husband and I retired and moved from Maine to NC several years ago but return to Maine each summer to enjoy the hiking and, hopefully, cooler weather. We have done extensive hiking in the Evans and Grafton Notches and always go home with plans for the next trip. We have also done many hikes in Acadia, another beloved place.

Welcome Skiprob and Susie.
Hello to all.
My husband, (he's the "D") and I have long been hikers. We are eagerly awaiting retirement in a few years so that we can hike to our hearts content. Must admit though that as we have gotten older the overnight hikes become more difficult. Older joints and bones do like a real bed at night so we tend to do long day hikes and then almost literally crawl into a motel for the night. I am an RN, husband is a carpenter and he is also an excellent photographer, of course I may be biased. I have been reading here, love the site and photographs.

Just joined here, and thought I would say hello.
My name is Matt, I am a 20 year old college student. I am working on my degree, with the plans of Law Enforcment.
I have been skiing since I was around ten, and will never give it up. Last year I got a part time job in th elocal ski shop, which made it possible for me to get out much more than I could have dreamed.
