    Cool man, I dig it. Gonna me moving back to the Monadnock Region from Mass and I'll definitely be checking it out regularly

  2. In Topic: Any Advice For Someone For Thru Hiking The Long Trail?

    26 May 2011 - 10:01 AM

    Two things I think are essential:

    -GET IN SHAPE (if you're not already)! Will make your trip much more enjoyable. That includes doing some longer day hikes. There is nothing you can do at the gym that will substitute for actual hiking.

    -Take a few weekenders to get used to your gear. I also find it to be a good exercise to find out if you really want to do this. It's one thing to go on a 2 day trip knowing that a home cooked meal and a hot shower are awaiting you at the end of it. But try to envision yourself going 6,7 days in a row being cold, tired, etc.

    Most of all, have fun! The LT is gnarly

    So long story, but I have two little ones at home, a 20 month old and a 5 month old (don't ask me if I'm nuts, it's been clinically diagnosed). A weekend this June, I will be all by my lonesome while my wife takes them to Niagara Falls for a long weekend with her family.

    Want to do a two day hiking trip, 10+ miles a day. Planning on the Whites since I didn't get up there last summer. Before I dig into some of my trail guides, figured I'd open it up to the board.

    Also would love to have something that's dog friendly so I can bring my main man Murph. He's a 4 yr old chocolate lab so energy is not an issue. Also, I live on the North Shore of MA, but I want something within a 3 hour drive, which cancels out certain parts of Maine that are near and dear to my heart.

    Suggestions?

    I've always liked the "off the radar" places in the Whites, particularly what is now the Sandwich wilderness and the Baldface/Wild River area near Evans Notch and the state line.
    Both are a fairly easy drive especially from your area


    Thanks Dudley, I'll check it out. The more off the grid, the better. Any idea about dogs? How about bears?
