And yes ...Chris . . . many thanks for the kudos!<br /> <br />And yes . . . I completely agree with your statement: "Bog Eddy looks like a beautiful spot to visit in the cold season!" I've never been there in summer conditions (and maybe never will). I'd guess that in order to get around you'd almost need one of those airboats like they use down in the Florida Everglades! Oh! And stinging/biting bugs! One can only imagine!:)1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-45925692165845710252011-03-22T17:15:00.445-04:002011-03-22T17:15:00.445-04:00Wow!

A fun read as always, with excellent photos to spice it up.

If you do, and if the trail become difficult to follow (not uncommon), please don't be discouraged. It's difficult to get truly lost. Just keep the brook within sight or within earshot as you go along. <br /><br />As you might already know, there are some nice tips and lots of interesting information about Georgiana Falls in the book entitled "Waterfalls of the White Mountains" by Bruce, Doreen & Daniel Bolnick. If you don't have access to that book, the chapter dealing with Georgiana Falls is online at the following link: http://www.nhvacationhome.net/images/Georgiana_Palls.pdf. (And yes, the word "Falls" in that link is misspelled as "Palls", but the link is valid and it works the last time I checked it!)<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-2564016206604679402011-03-22T08:34:04.875-04:002011-03-22T08:34:04.875-04:00Like I said when you did this hike last year - WOW...Like I said when you did this hike last year - WOW! So easy to ignore some of the spots like this. I'm once again jealous and feel a great need to get out to Georgiana Falls in winter. It's officially spring now but there still might be a chance to sneak one in while the snow is still around. We'll just have to see...Mark Trumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668923500714114502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-52303386009501575412011-03-20T18:13:55.602-04:002011-03-20T18:13:55.602-04:00Thanks Steve, not only for your kind remarks, but ...Thanks Steve, not only for your kind remarks, but also for including a bit of history in your comments. Any historical information about the Whites is of great interest to me!<br /><br />Regarding your statement about Bog Eddy being “better known to snowmobilers these days than hikers”, I’m sure that is correct since there is a well-used snowmobile trail that travels along the south end of Bog Eddy. When I hiked up there last winter in January 2010, I was able to easily cross Harvard Brook on snow/ice bridges to access that snowmobile trail. And from that trail, I was then able to access some additional viewing perspectives. However, on this most recent trip, the brook was really flowing, and I didn’t spend much time trying to find a convenient crossing. But that was fine. I enjoyed exploring the northeasterly corner of Bog Eddy which was far removed from the sound, sight, and exhaust fumes of the snowmobiles!:)<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-75144620625376782192011-03-20T10:45:40.927-04:002011-03-20T10:45:40.927-04:00Good one, John!

In the 30s and 40s there was a hiking trail up through there, the Bog Pond Trail, leading past the falls and the Eddy to Bog Pond and Kinsman Ridge Trail. In those days the KRT ran along the eastern base of Mt. Wolf.<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-66106414656705214452011-03-20T10:12:32.498-04:002011-03-20T10:12:32.498-04:00JT, thanks for taking a moment to post a reply to ...JT, thanks for taking a moment to post a reply to my Blog!<br /><br />Regarding how much snow is in the Georgiana Falls area, I think that at this time of year it is a very fluid (no pun intended) situation. On the day I was in that area, conditions ranged from occasional patches of bare ground to areas of "knee-deep" snow. However, that was then! The sun will change these conditions very quickly. Sorry I can't be more precise, but hopefully this will be of some help.<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-91236789656437406482011-03-20T09:49:22.889-04:002011-03-20T09:49:22.889-04:00Thanks for your reply!

And regarding the likelihood of your dog Tuckerman enjoying the area around Bog Eddy, I can tell you for certain that the moose simply love it! There was moose sign everywhere (droppings, hoof prints, etc).<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-82559715553597467412011-03-20T09:30:29.639-04:002011-03-20T09:30:29.639-04:00John, always love your bushwacking adventures.

I'm going to be doing some bushwacking in the same area in about three weeks.
