Not participated for a while, but got some cool pics.

The amazing farmland near camp.



Some of the wildest rocks I have seen are in this secret place.



And some really gorgeous wildflowers were blooming.

Good job on the big win!! I haven't been camping this year, but here is my favorite spot in the Snowy Range. I've never taken Eggs along, but I guess you get plenty of practice packing them around Heheee.

Thanks for the great pics. You are right that is a weird rock..and Congrats on a great win....

PS...love putting Shakin'the Tree on corn on the cob...BAM!!!!

Davekatz

We like Swamp Venom in a little butter and lime juice. Going to have to try Shaking the Tree now too. Do you just shake it on or do you put in a baste?

And the twin owls are still here.

It appears the rock has undergone consider abrasion in the past, probably glaciation. It looks like their are scratches in the rock all going the same direction as the glacier traveled. I also suspect there is a lot more rock below ground then what is exposed.

been too long since ive got out the tent, maybe this fall. if you look in the distance you can see tuckerman ravine on mt washington. four years on the lake and i finally looked up and there it was.

Mirth

fishlessman

Larry

Nature Boy

You're right Damon. Shotgun sat in my Dad's rocking chair and hung out with us for an extended period. It was one of the big highlights of the weekend. Was so nice seeing him back on his feet and in good spirits.

Nature Boy

Nice!!
I just love that owl picture. And is that a rufous sided towhee??? I hear and see them every day here at the ranch. Cheers buddy!
Chris

Nature Boy

Funny story, we were planning our first winter backpacking trip in the white mountains when a fellow college mate told us we might reconsider. Showed me a list of all the people that died falling into the ravines through the deep snow. We ended up going to the Smokies.

Cool shot! Were you snapping the picture while reeling?
Chris

YB

Hey Chris it is a towhee and the whole family lives in the yard...Looks like you had a great trip.
Larry

I've seen lots of glacier carved rocks out West (all through the Sierras and the Rockies). I'm thinkin glaciers did do some carving here, but to me it looks like a lot of flowing water was involved. Then again, not being a geologist but spending a whole bunch of time in cool places, I tend to guess a lot. Either way, they're sure fun to look at and ponder.



Beers!

ive only fallen thru once, landed in a small stream maybe 8 feet down. flukey storm dropped a few feet while i was headed up, mid april, on one of the smaller mountains near washington. found my sleeping bag about 150 feet away, still dry somehow. long time ago, not in good enough shape to go in the winter anymore, camping is fine but not climbing. biggest problem is all the boston/city folk think they are prepared to go winter hiking after stopping off at the llbean and buying gear, there should be a certificate policy for winter hiking in newengland as the cost is high getting unqualified people off the mountain (paid for by the newhampshire fishing department, one of my pet peaves).
the rods setup in a downrigger waiting for a salmon to grab the lure. no fish on yet

It was a great surprise when Fred showed up for the weekend showing that he's too ornery to keep down for long.... gotta lot of respect for the man!

john

WooDoggies

Thanks Larry!

Smokey

Gotta love Fred. He is a man who loves his work and the people around him!!

Great to see him up and kickin!

Thanks!

Nature Boy

Thanks Kim!!
Only rocks I've seen like that are in this area. It adds a really cool mystery to the place.

Glad you're diggin on the rubs! Thanks again.
Chris

Smokey

He has lost some weight, but looks good. He is "one if the good guys" and to see him up and about just gives me that warm fuzzy feeling.

I'm sure he appreciates your hospitality!

BTW, Congradulations tou you and the entire DP team for another great finish!!
