Street & Nye

Having successfully navigated a one-way traverse of Gothics & Sawteeth, and with the encouragement of our new 46er mentors, we decided to hike our first “unmaintained” trail to Street Mountain and Nye Mountain.

Keene And Keene Valley

On two of our rest days, we had nice intermittent cloud cover making for dramatic infrared shots. The last shot is the view of Hurricane Mountain from our rental, and you can see the fire tower in the distance.

Big Slide

Wanting to ease into 2012, we decided that our first hike was up 4,240-foot Big Slide. The scenery on the hike up to Big Slide was varied and had enough climbing to be interesting and challenging.

The Warriors’ Watch and A Hero’s Welcome welcomed home Navy Corpsman Alex Poli today. About 40 bikes (and a dozen cars) rolled in to Corpsman Poli’s party just to say Thank You and Welcome Home!
