I’m especially appreciative for your feedback regarding my postings about bushwhacks. Many of my off-trail adventures go unposted to my blog. I’d assumed this topic had limited appeal to most of my readers since I get a low number of “hits” from postings about bushwhacks. But perhaps I need to do some reconsideration!?<br /><br />If you use Facebook, most everything I do is posted there. My Facebook page is: <br />https://www.facebook.com/1HappyHikerNH<br /><br />Just as a final note, you might have noticed that overall my blog postings have become less frequent during the winter months when I devote more time to my other passion of Nordic skiing.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-92095263695830353822015-01-22T10:21:44.076-05:002015-01-22T10:21:44.076-05:00Thanks For sharing all your adventures.

Very much appreciated!<br /><br />I must hasten to add that I’m honestly envious of the grand adventures that you undertake on a routine basis, and the skilled manner in which you report them in your blog (link below).<br /><br />http://dailey7779.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Your narrative and photos are all top-notch, and I like the catchy titles for your reports. Also, I especially like the fact that you include a GPS track for most of your treks. I find this very helpful in pinning down the precise location without having to scramble for maps to figure out where the adventure took place.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-73826098987197488822015-01-18T08:43:37.026-05:002015-01-18T08:43:37.026-05:00What a year you had!

Each time I consider upgrading, I think of the adage, ‘if ain’t broke, don’t fix it’! :-)<br /><br />Oh! And, it’s completely understandable, Ellen, why you would have some partiality for my photo taken from near the summit of Mt. Ellen! :-)<br /><br />Best wishes to you and yours for a healthy and happy New Year!<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-45526151731394886222015-01-08T11:48:40.137-05:002015-01-08T11:48:40.137-05:00Thanks Rita for your glowing remarks about my year...Thanks Rita for your glowing remarks about my year-end review!<br /><br />I truly appreciate you being supportive and confident that I could author a hiking guide book. However, for whatever reason, it’s just one of those things that I have no ambition to do. But as the adage goes, ‘one should never say never’. :-)<br /><br />All the best to you and yours for 2015 and for many years to come!<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-82012386257538085992015-01-08T07:29:08.179-05:002015-01-08T07:29:08.179-05:00What a great variety of adventures and nice recap!...What a great variety of adventures and nice recap!

What a dizzying array of spectacular hikes you took in 2014, John!<br /><br />As I've said before, I think you could write a very interesting guide book about hiking the "Best of the Northeastern US" (and now Canada, too.)<br />I like all your pictures but I think my personal favorite is the photo taken along the fence post near the summit of Mt. Ellen. The fence post draws the viewer into the picture, and it looks like a wonderfully inviting place to spend the day!<br /><br />Keep up the good work on this blog, John, and...

You really explored a lot of new territory in the Adirondacks, Vermont and Maine. Of your many fine photos, perhaps my favorites are the three slide-scarred peaks seen from Phelps - classic 'dacks; the Bald Mountain view; the view of Little Spencer; and the view of the Notch from the New Cascade. Thanks for sharing - here's to another great year in 2015!<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.com
