I concur. I have started backpacking with my 7-year old. Wish I could get out and do it more - so far once in the spring, once in the fall. We just did an overnighter weekend before last. Love the gear fetish, but love seeing how <url=http://www.kuffelcreek.com/new_release.htm>simple I can keep it </url>too.
Gorgeous pics! |

| I took the Tuckerman Ravine up Mount Washington a couple of years ago around this time of year, and that was a lot of fun. I did quite a bit of hiking this summer, but haven't really gotten out for it this fall (unless you count running the Pisgah 50k, which did go through a forest that looks like your pictures...) |

I did a nice hike on Saturday. It is great cross training and I noticed that my hiking pace was much faster than before I re-started running four months ago. Not so fast that I didn't enjoy the hike though.  |

| Thanks guys. On a trip like this I'm always torn between my love of photography and my love of a light pack. This time I went with only the tiny camera. There were definitely times I longed for the super wide lens on my SLR, but I'm still quite happy with the results. |

Those pictures are worthy of framing.
Just thinking of those pictures taken with the wide lens, wow, that would have been really awesome! |

| Fall is my favorite time of year, and you've captured why in your pics! I can even hear the leaves crunching and smell that fall air! Thanks for sharing! Very nice. |

Nice pictures! When I was living in Montana I loved to go out into the woods during fall. All the tamaracks were turning gold, and the woods always smell the best in the fall. I wish I could get out into the woods, but I just moved to New York City, so that's not really an option anymore. Unless you count central park...

Rent a car and spend a weekend in the Berkshires. There's some fine hiking on the AT as it passes through the north west tip of Connecticut and western Massachusetts. |

Great shots, Ed. Where in NH did you go? I agree, fall is the best time!
A 31 lb. backpack? Holy cow, that's a lot of bagels!
