Mt Tom in Fryeburg Maine
I’ve done a few hikes since August, but it’s been tough to have a set schedule to post. There’s so much stuff to do and so little time to do it. Work has been busy, so setting aside the time to put toward social media has seemed overwhelming these past two years. I am actively…

Church Pond
My knee had been bothering me but I still wanted to go hiking. I twisted it a few days prior on the treadmill, and with a little rest and some naproxen, it started feeling better. I thought I’d find a fairly flat hike with a nice view. Our small mountain ponds in the White Mountains…

Cohos Trail Day Nine
After a few zero days, I was shuttled back to Rt 117 where I had left off a few days prior. As I approached the Pondicherry Refuge, I met the same woman I had talked to before being picked up for my zeros. We chatted about the trail for a few minutes and she told…

Cohos Trail Day Seven
Early to rise at Percy Tent Site to gauge whether or not I wanted to head to the north peak for sunrise. I made some freeze dried eggs for breakfast and when I could finally start to see daylight, it was overcast. I ate breakfast, packed up camp and headed out to South Pond for…

Cohos Trail Day Six
Up at 4am as usual. As soon as that first hermit thrush starts warbling, I’m up thinking about the day ahead. It was foggy and still drizzling. I took my time packing up and making breakfast. On the trail by 5am. My goal for the day was to get to Percy Camp 17mi away. Down…
