My Homage to the White Mountains: My AMC White Mountain Guides

Thanks for sharing that.
My first White Mountain Guide was a '72 as well.
At least I considered it mine until someone stole it from the town library
The one that replaced it was a '79 that I still use today
Some of the trails might be different, but the mountains are still in the same place.

My first thought was that has to be somewhere on the Sawyer Brook where there's an old rail bed, but that's off 302.
Rocky Gorge and Lower Falls on the Swift River are both on the Kanc, but I don't remember any forest road that needs to be walked. They're right next to the road
Maybe you can find the spot you're looking for HERE

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

I got myself a new (to me ) kayak this year as well
A vintage 1979, 18 foot, Klepper Expedition 'folding" kayak.
I haven't tried it yet, I'm a little intimidated by the size
.... now all I need is the sailing package

Here's what a Klepper frame looks like without the "skin"

I have to agree with you on that one. When it's not blowing gale force winds I've had the kayak out in the salt. With the dandelions comes the tautog. But SINCE it's been small craft advisories nearly everyday for the past month, I've been in the fresh, last Saturday I couldn't miss, no matter what I threw!

How's the fishing been in CT?

Been out trout fishing a few times, last Saturday morning as a mentor for our club's beginner fly fishing class. That was a lot of fun. Fished a little back country stream with some nice sized wild brookies in the afternoon. That is until the storms rolled it.

This coming Monday, the plan was to take the kayaks and fish the worm hatch at Ninigret, but my partner just backed out. I'll probably go it alone.... too good to pass up.
