A mobile podcast "live" from the Fire Tower on Smarts Mountain on April 19 2008.
(Note the audio does get cut off at the end -- technological difficulties don't 'cha know associated with mobile audio blogging).
I have added a new feature to the hikes listed in the Hikes
with Scott Calendar: weather forecasts. So when you open a
calendar item to print out details of the hike / directions to the trailhead,
you will also get a 2-day weather forecast broadcast from a weather station
closest to the hiking area. I hope this helps with your planning.
See you on the summits!
What a way to celebrate my birthday: wet, tired, cold and sore. But what a great time with three awesome companions: John, Kirk and – of course – Puck. Listen to this mobile podcast "live" from Mount Moriah in New Hampshire on May 31 2008.
The weather here is spectacular -- much of the snow has melted!
It looks like a great weekend coming up.
If you are coming from far far away and would like some floor space / futon
space / tent space... We have lots of room -- even sleeping
pads, cots, sleeping bags... We are about 20 minutes from the
trailhead. Give me a call or send me an email and I will get your
directions.
In other news, I am in the process of pasting weather code into each of the
hiking descriptions -- available within the calendar entries -- so you don't
have to go searching around the Internet.
Well, the planning is over. I have identified hikes for the 2008 Spring and Summer -- through the Presidential Traverse on July 19th 2008. I am looking for hiking partners.
So old friend or new friend... Let's go!

One of four hiking trails that go to the summit of Mt. Ascutney, the

Smarts Mountain
April 19, 2008
Smarts Mountain, at 3,240 feet, has a feel about it similar to the higher
White Mountain peaks further north. Trail follows along the spine of Lambert
Ridge for the next 1.3 miles, with frequent views. On the summit, a
firetower (abandoned in 1976)...
Mount Moosilauke
May 03, 2008
Mount Moosilauke, 4,802 feet, the western-most 4,000-footer in NH, on a
clear day, affords hikers stunning views. This loop, the simplest and most
popular, starts at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge. It climbs the Gorge Brook
Trail and descends the...
Franconia Ridge Traverse
May 25, 2008
Join me to hike this classic as I get ready for a single-day Presidential
Traverse in July! This is a classic, the views along the ridge are
spectacular if the weather cooperates. It is done using the Old Bridle Path,
Greenleaf, Franconia Ridge and...
