Hillstomping Update
Like Moses from Mt. Sinai, I’m back from our three-day hajj to the mountains — refreshed, renewed, reinvigorated… and with just the right touch of diarrhea.

Today we’re hitching up the popup and taking off to the White Mountains for a couple days of camping, hiking, and intense beer drinking. We’re meeting up with our camping buds, the Yales from PA, at Moose Brook State Park. We’ll be back on Tuesday…maybe. Live help? Ain’t gonna […]

Forum Update
Victory is MINE! Those nazis at AA have raised the white flag and are in full retreat with their tails between their pale, skinny legs. Let that be a lesson to anyone foolish enough to threaten the Samurai.

Hillstomping Update
Beautious hike up Mt. Chocorua today! Perfect weather, de minimis bloodsucker activity, and cool, dry air which made for spectacularly crystal-clear 360° views from the summit. The summit of Mt. Chocorua is a rock tower poking up into the sky giving a vantage point for some of the best views in the […]
