The Red Sox lost, :( EVERYONE'S gone hiking, there's no snow date for K-Mart, and I'm :atwork: . This is getting depressing.

Please post atomic-quality :camera: of the foliage so I can pretend I went too. :D

P.S. SkiCDaveramma: We NEED a foliage leaf graemlin. Foliage is so New England.

I did get out to North Slide (and South Slide) today (boy oh boy was that eager beaver gardner busy!) I took along the old 35mm film camera and snapped a few frames with a bit of the old NE color. I take'm in tomorrow and get the disc, it'll be a few days.

Hiked Mt. Waumbek today, GREAT weather, hardly anyone up there. However, coming back down on the highway, we stopped in Lincoln. REMIND me never to go there again on a foliage weekend. The traffic was backed up on the highway for about 1/2 mile trying to get off the exit, coming from the south, at least. Kanc highway was backed up, stop and go, all the way to Woodstock. UGH. The parking lots for Mt Lafayette were overflowing onto both sides of the highway, and all of the surrounding grass for about 1/4 mile. I can't imagine what the summits were like. Anyway, it was a great day wayyyyyyy up in northern NH, past the notch. Sorry, had to vent for a second. :D

Not exactly the big mountains of New England... but not so bad neither.

Excellent :camera: . Where was it taken? You could sell it to a jig-saw puzzle company...

That's about the next best thing to :snowflakes: .

Thanks Skimum !
It was taken at Mt Garceau (north of MTL) last october 14 (Yep, I admit it was last year). This is the first nice pic I took with my digital cam.

They put a 900/600 version in low resolution on their website (they use it as pub for the folliage) if you want to have it larger.

Puzzle... not a bad idea ! Someone here knows a puzzlemaker ? ;)

Small hill (1000') especially in a New England perspective, but it has probably the 2nd best scenery in the wide Montreal region, behind Owl's Head.

Hiked up Washington yesterday, hoping to find some snow. I actually threw the boards in the ski rack, but didn't hike up with them. Anyway, except for the crowds, it was a great day, beautiful leaves, cloudless skies until late in the day, and great mountains. Went up through the Ravine, and down on Lion's Head. The broad area above the lip had about 10 different patches of snow that could be worth 2-3 turns each (short/jump turns). The summit cone hardly had any snow, however. I believe the Great Gulf might have had something (saw some white on Rt. 16), but I didn't hike down there to check it out.

I believe that 1 week ago, it (the snowfields above Tucks) would've been skiable... on rock skis.

Franko,

I took my first ski lesson at Mt. Garceau in '77.

It changed a lot since that era, quite larger and more modern.

Soent the weekend in Muskoka a couple hours north of toronto. The girl had never seen colours like that. they get mostly yellow from the aspens out west. Spent the weekend wakeboarding and windsurfing and taking hot showers afterward......brrrrrrrr. Best thanksgiving I have had since last year when we got 3" of snow.

I spent the weekend sweating my :bum: (not an actual pic) off. On Saturday we set a record for the hottest spot in Canada and Sunday it went up 25 or 76 whichevers your flavour. ***. It was actually nice because I was finishing up the body work on my Jeep. Just got to put the back sections of the front fender flares on and I'll be done....for now. I wore a t-shirt, shorts and sandals all weekend. I'm not complaining, it was 2 degrees this morning or 36 in American. It's coming.
