That blow-down field is so huge that I almost want to see if there's someplace on the Rollins Trail I can get a bird's-eye-view of it.<br /><br />Love the views from the Whiteface ledges.<br /><br />JoeJustJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657236449099527872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467507887503598629.post-69925039923813095472013-04-19T19:39:27.246-04:002013-04-19T19:39:27.246-04:00Wow, Joe -you've been on a roll!

Glad you had solid deep snow to get through there, and that you were able to bag both Sleepers. That view shot from Whiteface on the way back is stunning! Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467507887503598629.post-9205945090228900072013-04-17T13:27:58.035-04:002013-04-17T13:27:58.035-04:00Thanks John.

I have dozens of pictures of Chocorua over either Chocorua Lake or Little Lake. That's a regular stop for me when I'm in the area.JustJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657236449099527872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467507887503598629.post-55921764352720002032013-04-17T10:32:15.749-04:002013-04-17T10:32:15.749-04:00Joe, I love your entire report, but especially lik...Joe, I love your entire report, but especially like your concluding statement, i.e. "It as a long 9 hour day, but worth every minute." It speaks volumes, and I can relate to it from personal adventures. <br /><br />Also, it was good that you did this as a winter hike since the snow conditions allowed you to walk over and around the devastation that you described. Winter hiking has its definite advantages!<br /><br />And lastly, I like the way that you try to incorporate a local area view into your Blogs. It is a good way to sort of set the scene for the actual hike.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467507887503598629.post-30351656785463231942013-04-16T08:06:38.933-04:002013-04-16T08:06:38.933-04:00Thanks Kris.
