Huntington Ravine; DUN DUN DUN!

Image
"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."   I have finally hiked the one trail on Mount Washington I have been avoiding for a long time. Huntington Ravine. This trail, according to the AMC White Mountain Guide is the "Hardest trail in the White Mountains." Many, claim it to be incredibly difficult, dangerous, and essentially rock climbing without the ropes. The Mount Washington Observatory hosts their largest fundraiser in July every year for the last 15 years. This even is a hike-a-thon to raise money for the nonprofit, member supported MWOBS. I have participated in this event my first year working for them and now I am participating again this year. On July 18th, Trish, myself, Alex, Sage, Hugh, Josh, John, and Jeremy decided as a team we wanted to ascend Huntington Ravine for Seek the Peak. Most of us had yet to hike this trail and were all ready to see what the big talk was all about. ...

Doublehead Cabin Overnight

Image
It's Wednesday morning and it is the start of my 5 days off. I have been looking forward to today for a few months now. Josh and I booked a night stay up at Doublehead Cabin. The closer the days crept up the worse and worse the forecast looked. Josh had been spending nights in this Cabin for most of his life. I wanted to give it a try.

Wright & Phelps (ADK) Adventure!

"Travel is more than the seeing of sights; It is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." Laura and I planned a last minute long weekend get-away to the Adirondacks. We decided we needed this time away and we need to hike some more of the Adirondack 46 High Peaks. The original plan was to have her come sleep at my house after work Friday evening and we would hit the road early on Saturday morning to hike. However, weather patterns started to shift and there was a storm headed our way this weekend. As usual we waited until last minute, messaged each other and decided screw it, it had been a long week for the both of us and we needed to get out of dodge asap. We booked a last minute Airbnb for Friday night. We then decided to meet at a half way point for both of us where we would leave one car and carpool the rest of the time. We picked the Richmond, VT Park and Ride to meet. It was roughly 2.5 hours for both of us to travel. We both l...
