On the Saturday, February 24,2007 the crew will be returning to  Carter Notch Hut in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. There is room for 15 people to attend this trip, The cost will be $27 plus spending money for food.

We will be staying  at Skip's place on Friday night and hiking the 3.8 miles on the "19-Mile Brook" trail into the hut on Saturday. The trail generally doesnt require the use of snow shows because of all the traffic. But shoes would be recommended for snowshoeing in the afternoon after reaching the hut.

The cooking and dining areas are heated (moderately!) in winter, but the remote bunkhouses are not. Temperatures may be expected to be about as cold as in a tent, so a real winter bag, rated to about -20°F,  or two sleeping bags is advisable.

For more information about the trip talk with Andy. To sign up for the trip, you must turn in a
permission slip and the $27 to Treasurer Dave.
