Nice TR. We hiked Washington via Ammonoosuc and Crawford Trail up then down Gulfside to the Jewell Trail down the weekend before. It's been some beautiful hiking weather, that's for sure. It's amazing how many people are at the top when we get up there, between hikers, the Cog, and people...

That's awesome! I love Baxter, can't wait to go back. We're going to Katahdin Stream in Oct.

You could always try this place, it's fairly pricey and decent food: http://rira.com/ On the waterfront in Portland's Old Port area, it's Irish food or there's always the old standby Italian and seafood down the road from Ri Ra's, DiMillo's Floating Restaurant, or another nice place is Fore...

WOW, who'da thunk......Haven't been to Bradbury Mtn in years.....We'd "hike"(if you want to call it that) up it, but never thought to ride bikes out there..... it's such a small mtn. A few nice views up there though.

Most interesting thread here. I often wondered the same thing. We now have a Delorme GPS, not that would be able to contact anyone, but also have a couple of two way radios of which I keep thinking that we should bring them on our hiking trips. Then comes the question of how much stuff is too...

How are the bugs out there?

I agree...anything that I buy of importance to me, I'm buying a lock. Guess that also goes with growing in in a city, well if you want to call South Portland/Portland a city.....anyways I've always bought locks for my bikes, recently my skis, since they do cost a lot of money. I'd be pretty...

Nice! Wish I was brave enough to ski that....oh well I don't mind just watching too.

Okay, guess I have to say something here....as Deadheadskier has noticed(or maybe not), I'm not a fast skier, although at times I feel I am....depends who I'm skiing with. Definately not with Deadhead.....LOL... Anyways I came down after the fact and wondered what happened, didn't see the...

I'll be 54 this year and still skiing. I won't give it up, if I don't have to. I'll never grow up, I'll never grow old, just my body will.....;)

Well, he was close to what I was referring to as teeth rattling. I thought the part that was teeth rattling was the Tote Road Ext., after that it was pretty crunchy, but edgable. As the day wore on things did soften up a bit, but we never went back up the Timberline Quad, that was waayy too slow...

I like this advice, I think I'll try to incorporate these into my daily routine.

All I can say is WOW! Im not sure if I'd want to do that....

That looks awesome, I hope it still looks like that by the 22th. We're heading out there that weekend for my grandson's 1st birthday the day before, then skiing with my daughter, that Sun. She snowboards.....psyched!!!

Can't wait to go back there this year! We'll be doing a weekend up there, combining that with Sugarloaf!
