Hedgehog Mountain at 2532 feet is about 780 meters. That isn’t a mountain! Its not even a hill. Perhaps its a hummock. 🙂 But NH is very pretty anyway.

@ccspencer its certainly a baby mtn, even in NH. which is why i took my young pup up his first “real” hike on it. NH has alpine zone, too, and its pretty amazing how quick you can go from 2500 to 6200. small but awesome.

Not risky enough. After a lifetime of speculating on Jr’s, a parachute is a buzz-kill.

@twal I have more ability to analyze and effect the outcome in speculation.

@rrule what is the craziest thing you’ve ever done (besides going through airport security screening near Doug)?

That is stunning scenery!

@twal tis far more astounding in person, I hope you can try it some day. The rough roads, insane truck/bus drivers and high altitude all work against one but it was well worth all the hurdles

There are no trees on those hills. Are those just giant rocks?

@properal right, it’s really HO scale I just didn’t get the model train before it passed

@properal but seriously, I took many shots and it was hard to get the composition right b/c the giant mountains were so close

@kenj Thanks for sharing. This is beautiful!

wow that looks like a workout! Sore the next day?

@twal not bad, surprisingly. but i run alot

there you go again with all that white male puppy privilege again. lol

I bought some Insect Shield apparel and the number of ticks that have nailed me was substantially reduced.

You must be really ticked off.

@nednetterville haha we have armed up considerably since. we replaced his seresto collar, we’re gonna remember the cedar oil/lemongrass spray next time (wondercide) and i got him a garlic and beef liver tablet, reviews looks astounding, as vampires hate garlic 😉
as for me, I should just wear pants.

@richardmasta Seresto collar worked for my Tink (see her picture by my name), but my wife objected to me wearing one 🙂 Insect Shield socks, pants, long sleeve shirt and hat kept ’em away when I was spending a lot of time in the ticks’ neck of the woods. Seresto kept my dog tick free except for a couple of dead ones I found in her wire coat. Have…[Read more]

@nednetterville we’ve been pulling ticks off the fluffy butt up there but a few were dead and most were trying to get the heck out. one even jumped ship and we found it on a white sheet. (we’re white sheet supremacists, @kenj) — I even got a tick trifecta yesterday! A deer tick, a turkey tick, and a dog tick. Pretty awesome. We had better luck…[Read more]

muh trail! Roger did you do this one?

@kenj Sure did, Ken! This trail only takes an hour or so.

We also visited the Sun Gate (90 mins), and the summit of Macchu Pichu mountain (2 hours). We also hiked up to the site and back down, avoiding the overpriced bus ride (60 mins each way). Of course, we did explore the ruins while we were there, but by doing the other things first we found…[Read more]
