I did this hike and it is the most SPECTACULAR viewing spot in all of the white mountains.Anyway I did it twice and its the best.And please be careful.Pack like your expecting the worst weather.We were on the wilderness trail and my cousin was scoffing to me when I told him it gets cold at night.He brang a cheapo tent and a cheapo sleeping bag.The sun went down and the wind started roaring through the treetops above and then the temperature plummeted to the 30s and that was in august and we were on the wilderness trail not even near Mount Bond yet still 2200 feet below it!I gave him my coat when he scrambled into the tent the second night and taught him how to stay warm.This is a soulful and awesome hike.My cousin who is an atheist and bullheaded told me after we made it to the top and then left the next day that it was something wondrous and he would never forget this for the rest of his life.
Champlain was a bear Hey: I'm a section paddler who did the big lake last October. I took my 16' sea kayak and round tripped the lake from St Albans to Plattsburg and return. I've done several sections by canoe and this was my only kayak journey. One bad point was that I barely had enough gear to make the trip. I will look into learning to pack stuff more efficently. I enjoy reading your blogs. You are doing yeoman's work. Safe Journey!
hoo-leh! long time no see lucas shortahmeyer! Wow, this was a while ago huh! how the heck are you? When you coming back to Crow Country to visit again... and by the way "Res Truck" is actually "Rez Truck" lol. I enjoyed your travel blog, brought back memories. Miss you.
Hi. My name is Martha and I am a student at the Institute of American Indian Arts. I was also born and raised in Crow Agency, MT. Your slide show of the Crow Fair is awesome! I'm currently editing a short documentary for my Native Art History class about the importance of the buffalo in Native Cultures, and I was wondering If I could use a few of your photos in that film.
You can contact me through e-mail mcabaniss@iaia.edu
Hope to hear from you,

Perkins Landing! I find my self returning to your NFCT blog frequently as I plan my section trips, and I have a question for you. It appears that after your travel over the Grand Portage, and stop at Jewetts general Store, that you probably stayed somewhere overnight before moving on down Memphremagog. Did you camp? If so, where? I'll be with a few guys doing this section in the opposite direction, and we're hoping to camp somewhere in or near Vale Perkins if we can. Any info you can send (to my e-mail) would be greatly appreciated! -Chuck
Two Rivers Lunch Allagash Maine I really enjoyed your article. Awesome Pics. Sounds like you had a blast especially meeting Evelyn. My parents own Two Rivers Lunch and I can hardly wait for them to read this article. I will print a copy and put it in the restaurant. Hope you make this an annual event.
Oh, and by the way we "Moosetowners" always said, "Make a mad dash to the "Gash" and that would be one awesome canoe race. Free Breakfast at Two Rivers Lunch for both of you if you get this one started.
Yowza There had been a rumor going around Asheville that The Pilgrim was considering a return.
That sledding video looks pretty sweet. Almost awesome enough to make me wish for an early return to winter.
Much more beautiful then our painting!! We have a print of a painting above our bed, with a plaque with "Teton Lake" and the artists name (Robert Wood). We decided to google it, and your blog/pics was the first result.
Thank you for sharing these gorgeous pictures. My fiancee now definately wants to make it down there!
thanks for posting Nice post dude. Things are looking good in your neck of the woods. Just watch out that you don't do too much "relaxing" or "enjoying company".
Wow Your pictures are really beautiful, Luke. You are one talented man!
When folks are wearing flannel and sweatshirts, you gotta figure jumping into that water is gonna be intense.
Driven through the White Mountains many times, but never hiked around there. Sounds like an awesome trip! Especially the part about all the blueberries and the Ramen stuffing stuff . . . mmm . . . I shouldn't read your journal while I'm hungry.
The "What's he looking at?" picture of Tom is great. It's epic, except he's cheesin a little too hard. :D He needs a more serious look and some armor.
Luke, you are a big boy! hehehehehe ... whole box of stuffing + ramen ...
That lends to our old-school breakfast status check. Man, can you pack it down!
The hike + view sounds fun/beautiful. I'd check out that trail in a second.
Awesome sweetness :)
After finishing my masters degree in mathematics at Montana State, I've moved back east to explore, live, and learn about the cool places and things to do on the Eastern Seaboard.... full info
