Hiking[views:25841][posts:75]_______________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:01am - BSV ""] Anybody hike? Been on two this year already. Will probably head out for one this afternoon. I'd like to do a big hike once a month with smaller 5 mile journey's once a week. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:03am - reimroc ""] Yep. Its great to just go out on a beautiful day and just listen to nothing but the sounds of nature. It sounds really cliche but it really puts you at peace with the world. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:06am - BSV ""] yes sir. with the right supplies it can be a killer day off! |
| __________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:07am - reimroc ""] agreed |
| __________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:08am - darkwor ""] Everybody needs to do this. Heading up to Franconia Notch soon, waayyy up I-93. [img] |
| _________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:09am - xmikex ""] Did some stomping around Blue Hills this past weekend. Obviously nothing as cool as the picture above, but definitely something I'd like to get into when the weather improves. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:12am - W3 @ work ""] wait is this like walking |
| __________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:12am - darkwor ""] It's good no matter where you do it..Purgatory Chasm is another fav of mine. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:12am - darkwor ""] run for fun? what the hell kind of fun is that? |

| ___________________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:30am - largefreakatzero ""] I like hiking. With a gun and a dog during hunting season. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:38am - BSV ""] Yeah I was Purgatory last week. Funny found some kids smoking a blunt, walked away to smoke with friends, only to discover more kids smoking pot. Upon greeting these strangers, dozens of stoners emerged from all over the place in and out of the chasm. Like 30 kids all stoned as fuck climbing on sick rocks. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:40am - DYA NLI ""] Yeah that's me next week once it gets nice again. Purgatory is always our 4/20 destination. Y'know, for Hitler and stuff. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:42am - BSV ""] it was kinda out of a movie. kid was like "hey you guys smoke too? *whistles*" then tons of kids come out of now where all ripping stoned. priceless. |

This happened to me one time skiing at Wachussett Mountain. It was pitch black while we smoking, heard whistling and saw lighters blaring. So we followed it and smoked their much better weed with them. good times. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 10:56am - DYA NLI ""] It's just not Stoned Hitler Day without a flashlight full of joints and Purgatory. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 11:39am - Beorht-Dana ""] I'm thinking of hiking Mt. Monadnock sometime soon. I haven't done any really hiking in a LONG time so I think Monadnock would be an easy way to get back into it. |

| ___________________________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 1:03pm - Septic Mountain Fountain ""] Just got me a new pair o' boots! I was planning on hitting up Monadnock a couple of weeks ago but my only day off happened to be the only day off for the sun. Jawwwshy lets smoke down and conquer some shit! |

I didn't take this, it's from the Franconia Notch area website, but it could be, although it looks like the rise on the left is higher. Not familiar enough with the area to make a judgement, but the line in the valley is definitely a road. Helpful, I know. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 2:20pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Franconia notch is fucking awesome. The stars are crazy over there at night too. Clearest I've seen. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 2:24pm - dreadkill ""] my uncle lives a bit north of franconia notch. i went camping up there with my cousins a couple independence day weekends in a row but couldn't go last year because my daughter was only a few weeks old and needed me at home. :( |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 2:43pm - diarrhea_blumpkin ""] its totally taken from mt. willard, it says so in the file name... Its a fucking beautiful view for only about an hours hike. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 4:43pm - deathchick ""] I like hiking in NH, the white mountains are nice. I usually go on the SRK Greenway trail once a year with my sister. Wish I could go hiking more, I don't get out of the city too often. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 4:57pm - swamplorddvm ""] Yup. Planning for the Red woods in cali in July. I went several times to the White mountains last year (and other times before) and about a month ago first time in winter. Been buying shit at REI. I love that store. |

What days are good for you? |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 7:30pm - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] My favorite part about hiking is the satisfaction that comes from reenacting Immortal videos once I get to the summit of whatever mountain I'm hiking up. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 8:21pm - thedeathdealer ""] I had my first hike of Little Haystack to Lincoln to Mt. Lafayette last year, 5260ft, 9 miles up and back around. What a fucking time! [img] I wanted to go winter hiking but didn't have the money for the equipment. there is always next year for that. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 25,2009 8:39pm - corpus_colostomy ""] Best panoramic view of the whites: bond cliffs Good times to be had at saddleback, no name, mini saddle back and the horn in wrangely, maine. a great ridge run and solid way to bag a few 3k footers in a rather short but grueling distance. excellent exposure on the backside of the horn. best place to see bear: the pemmigawasset wilderness below the bonds and mt guyot also the sandwich range (all wooded summits). all NH. best place to "poach" a good stay: amc trail maintenance hut off of hogan rd in gorham. best spot for beers: moat mountain, north conway, NH. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 26,2009 12:24am - goatcatalyst ""] I enjoy hiking verymuch. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 26,2009 7:19am - Yeti ""] oh man, hiking is my favorite thing to do. funny you should talk about stoners at Purgatory, that is one of my top favorite places to go, and i always turn it into a smoke walk. the trails behind it are awesome for that. i need new places to go, disclose where you frequent. HIKING METAL PUNKS!!! FOREVER!!! |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 26,2009 10:43am - DYA NLI ""] BSV, where do you live that Upton is a convenient hike spot? |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 26,2009 5:27pm - MillenialKingdom ""] I plan on going hiking as soon as the weather cooperates. I also can't wait to pull my bike out so I can go on my yearly biking trips. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 26,2009 7:10pm - BSV ""] DYA%20NLI said:BSV, where do you live that Upton is a convenient hike spot? Woodville/Hopkinton - I'm only about 3 miles from the state park. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 26,2009 7:23pm - arilliusbm ""] Upton, eh? I go there quite often. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 26,2009 8:56pm - AndrewBastard ""] I have a cabin in the MIDDLE of the woods in Sandwich, NH. I'm up there at least 5-7 times a summer (twice for NASCAR ;) ) and I hike/fish every time... Along the Kangamangus... [img] Bathing at some waterfall on the way up Chocoura [img] A moose we spotted near Red Hill Pond [img] |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 26,2009 10:25pm - arilliusbm ""] yes sirs. I enjoy nature to no end; I'll post some crap videos I made of the last time I hiked in NH. this is Mount Hale in NH: bennyhillifier here is driving through NH while listening to the pagan band Menhir: bennyhillifier |
| _______________________________ [Mar 28,2009 12:14pm - BSV ""] heading out today, fucking beautiful. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 30,2009 10:47am - Yeti ""] i want to get a small group together and head to Burnt Hill in Heath, MA. i've read about some ancient stone croppings up there, its roughly where "The Dunwich Horror" takes place. its also fairly close to a place called Dighton Rock which has some ancient carvings in the stone. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 30,2009 11:09am - arilliusbm ""] I must chime in on Dighton Rock, as it's fairly close to where I live. The real Dighton rock is no longer there. It's in a museum. There are a number of speculations as to what Dighton Rock's markings are; some people think they are of Norse origin. It's really strange and was just anothher OoPA (out of place artifact), must like the Dorchester Pot |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 30,2009 11:19am - arilliusbm ""] if you guys want to hike AND have danger AND paranormal experiences, I suggest hiking in the hockomock swamp. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 30,2009 11:35am - BSV ""] i have two days off, need more trails! |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 30,2009 11:38am - arilliusbm ""] Freetown State Forest is nice (if you don't get murdered.) Myles Standish State Park has some good trails. but if you're looking for hills and stuff, I wouldn't want those places. Massasoit in Taunton has some nice rocky trails and decent lake views. |
