Join outdoorsyguy79 and me on a spur-of-the moment Monadnock hike!  We'll be trying out our crampons on Spellman, which is one of Monadnock's steeper/rockier trails (shown in the photo; however, be prepared for a tad more snow, ice, and cold).  We'll be hiking at a moderate (but not slow) pace. 

Directions and Meeting Time:  For driving directions, do a mapquest on 126 Poole Rd, Jaffrey NH.  The park parking lot is at end of the road.  We'll met at 9:00 am, at the Park HQ building.  We'll wait up to 15 minutes for everyone who is signed up as of 6:30am on Saturday.
