You got it, the red route is the intended, although we may not reverse direction, we may follow the Willey Ridge trail down to 302 (which would require that we spot a car). It’ll make the total trip shorter, but the trip down from Willey is steep…

Uhh, one thing I haven’t mentioned is that we’re probably not going to bring the “condo”. One of our fellow hikers has a cabin that he offered and we couldn’t refuse…

I usually go with oatmeal and bananas. Lots of good carbs to keep you going. You could also go with some protein and add some eggs, which would also help.

On the trail I snack on more bananas and protein bars. I find that I’m not usually all that hungry when I’m hiking for some reason.

Don’t forget lots of water!

If you’d like to join us, we’re doing Willey by way of Field and we plan to be in the parking lot by 8:00 to get a group photo (with the group doing Tom). You’re more than welcome to join us!

It’s super easy. From Stamford (my Grandmother lives there!) take 95 to 91 to 84 to 90 to 290 to 495 to 93 to exit 31. Piece o’ cake!

On our way out after the planning meeting, the office asked me to reiterate the 5 mph speed limit and the dog rules. Please be respectful of these in particular, we don’t want to wear out our welcome!

Ooops, you’re right. From CT will be shorter!

I did! I posted a link to it to suck it off my website and get it onto the Fot48 site. Did nobody do that? It had the slight flaw of saying “3 days” instead of “4 days” in the history but since I didn’t mention exact dates I decided to not worry about redoing the whole thing just to fix that. 🙂

Ooops, did I miss that one? Post the link here and I’ll get it on this site.

I do have a flag, two in fact (including one with only 48 stars!) but I would much rather use yours! Please bring it along and I’ll take care of the flag pole.

You’re absolutely right about that! I used to live down that way (Bridgewater, NJ) so I know what the drive is like. And you’d have to leave by 1:00 AM at the latest to make it, unless you own a plane or helicopter!

Yes, we can post movies, no problem. In fact anyone can post a movie in the gallery along with their photos. Handy, eh?

Awesome! Do you think you’ll make it to the Broken Branch? Dome and I will have “the condo” (camper) which will be nice.

We are staying at the KOA Broken Branch Campground, which is on Woodstock NH. You can check it out and get directions by cruising over to their web site:

http://www.brokenbranchcampground.com/

We’ll probably hit the trailhead at about 8:00 AM so we can be sure we’ll hit the summit by noon. If you’ve never really hiked, you should try to get a decent pair of boots and break them in before the hike. You should also be sure to have some non-cotton clothing to hike in, EMS has some excellent options.

Welcome aboard!
