As of Monday, I had 4.9 miles left to cover in the Moosilauke section; approx .5 of the east end of the Blueberry Mtn trail (Steven & I hiked from the west end to just before the recent logging crossed the lower / eastern part of the trail last Saturday), and the length of the Tunnel Brook trail. I had pulled up to the gate about 2 weeks ago, and I noted the snowmobiling reference<br />- no snowmobiling Mon - Fri, snowmobiling allowed Saturday & Sunday - so I figured I could wander up the road to hike those trails some weekend. I was surprised to see the loggers working last Saturday, but due to the lack of snow, there probably isn't snowmobiling taking place there anyway. When I might look to hike the last remaining 4.9 miles was totally up in the air due to what I saw last Saturday. So this afternoon, I followed your brilliant idea, and bushwhacked from the old cemetery to the Tunnel Brook trail, and on the return trip, the loggers were done for the day, and I was able to wander-up-the-road and finish the last remaining segment of the Blueberry Mtn trail. Like you noted, the Tunnel is a gorgeous area indeed. A big thank you John!

That is indeed a chocolate dessert which would be “Valentine-appropriate”!<br />However, I tend to think that this analogy might have elicited the same roll-of-the-eyes, as did my “tunnel of love” idea. :)<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the Blog report. Sorry about the problem with the photos. Still don’t know what caused it. Hopefully, it will stay fixed!<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-31129881864930378452012-02-16T15:34:11.916-05:002012-02-16T15:34:11.916-05:00Hi John, I chuckled when I read the first paragrap...Hi John, I chuckled when I read the first paragraph as I thought that your blog post titles are so enticing and what follows in the post is always so interesting. Isn't mud pie a chocolate dessert? Maybe you could have brought one home for Valentine's Day! On another note, I too got the black squares with a white line when I first checked your blog, but of course now it is okay. Hope you are able to find the cause.

Everything seemed OK when I checked things this morning. I've deleted and reloaded my photos once again. For now, things appear to be OK. <br /><br />I have no clue what the problem is. Perhaps my album for this trek is corrupt and I'll need to recreate the album. In the meantime, I'm going to do some Internet research to see if others have experienced this problem, and if so what the solution might be.<br /><br />Thanks for alerting me to this.<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-51033715985139367372012-02-16T13:41:43.456-05:002012-02-16T13:41:43.456-05:00Hi John, I enjoyed reading this post - as always....Hi John, I enjoyed reading this post - as always. However, not a single picture showed up on my screen, only a large black rectangle with a circle in the center; inside the circle was a white line, kind of like a horizontal "pause" button. Any idea what this could be?<br />RitaOne Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-40598014170801642652012-02-16T06:24:30.226-05:002012-02-16T06:24:30.226-05:00Very cool post!

I incorrectly identified it as Tunnel Brook Road.
