"Over Memorial Day Weekend I was hoping to speak with the Black Mesa State Park and Preserve Manager before hiking the Mesa and as it turned out, I also met with the Camp Host. We ended up talking for quite awhile about the history of Kenton, Oklahoma, its residents and the state highpoint. I learned a few things and also shared some stories of my own since I've visited the area since the 90's. As a Project Director for the Highpointers Foundation I told them we are eager to work with them in funding some of the projects they would like to see at the trailhead and along the trail. The hike itself was typical of a warm, windy late afternoon. I'll most likely head up that way again in the Fall." — StoneMan • May 27, 2024
"Brought my chainsaw and loppers to clear some downed trees and brush that fell on the trail from recent storms. Spent time talking with one of the family owners of the Driskill Mtn. properties and then headed up to the summit for the 38th time." — StoneMan • May 18, 2024
"Replaced the old Church sign since visitors to Driskill have used their parking area for many years, then hiked up to the summit to assess any damage along the trail due to the recent storms. Next trip I'll haul up my chainsaw and do some cleanup to remove some downed trees and debris." — StoneMan • May 14, 2024
"May 10, 2024. Finally getting over the Achilles tendon injury. Started at 5:15am, Palmer time 1:32. Summit time 4:03, second fastest summit time. Up and down 1 o’clock. Skied down from Devils Kitchen. With Ryan." — runningvegan • May 10, 2024
"A Monroe, Washington, Jefferson hike for my Grid and calendar day. Hiked up Ammonoosuc Ravine Tr. From Gem Pond, I used my microspikes on the ascent. I ascended into a cloud and had no views on Monroe and on Washington. On the way over to Jefferson, the cloud cover was breaking up. I dropped my snowshoes just past Jewell Tr. On Jefferson, I had views, but Washington was still in the clouds. I headed back to Jewell Tr and down that, making good time coming down. I was beat after today's hike. Saw a short tailed weasel below the summit of Jeff!!!" — newenglandwarrior • May 3, 2024
