Hi Folks,
I was able to get out to the gym and grocery store this morning, but it's been raining cats & dogs off and on all afternoon. There are occasional pop-up flood warnings coming across my phone so I don't know what to think. Just when I think we are headed into a real summer, this happens. Let's hope fall is better...

July is a full slate of gigs and next week starts it all off. Private party on Tuesday the 4th with Jim McLaughlin Group, Wednesday 5:30-7:30 again with Jim at the Saco River Brewing Company in Fryeburg, one more with Jim & the boyz at Ledge Brewing Company in Intervale and then my steady bebop/funk jazz gig on the pier at Weirs beach on Sunday the 16th 6-9.
The bug status totally depends on when and where you are. Deep woods it's one thing, up on the cliff or out cruising on the bike it's another. The downhill trails at Cranmore or in the Hurricane Zone have been minimal, but standing around at the base of Cathedral or over at Moose Brook it's a whole another thing. Just leave the bug dope in the pack friends. You will be happier...
I rode a bunch of downhill at Cranmore this week and it was great, in spite of the rains. Tuesday I rode from the top of the chair lift across the mountain to the Kettle Korn connector to Tornado. The traverse road has been graded and was in good shape and other than a few rocks here & there Tornado was great.
Up on one of the Mount Washington Valley's finest crags and want to know what that climb you're looking at is? Or maybe you're on your way up from Boston and want to check out the Ice Report for your upcoming weekend plans. Or more likely, you're at work just want to daydream about your next adventure. Well if you have a smart phone handy, you can get to NEClimbs from anywhere you have cell service. While it doesn't offer every single feature of the site and it's not an "app", in mobile form, it does do a whole lot and is very useful. Here is the live link to the mobile version of NEClimbs:

| The vias normales had perfect lines but new rock was the essence of climbing for us; throwing loose holds over the shoulder, feeling the exposed grains crush like sugar on footholes.... |
