The other day I realized that the anniversary of this crazy day was coming up. I wasn’t exactly sure what day it was, so I visited this blog to figure it out. It turns out, I had never blogged about it. Doing a search of my email account and some of the forums I used to frequent, I found what … Read More

My 4th pre-work hike this year and the best video footage and photos yet. I think I’ve finally nailed down my gear, as well as the timing for being on the summit to capture civil twilight through sunrise. If all of my gear and work stuff is packed and ready to go, I need to wake up approximately 4 hours … Read More
This is my 2nd pre-work hike this year and my first time reaching the summit. I decided to try something that presumably had a more gradual climb than Nor’easter. Since Lower World Cup is a blue square and the entirety of Nor’east is a black diamond, I figured World Cup looked like a good candidate. I also hoped to carry … Read More

I hope to head back again to get some pictures of the Winslow … Read More

Willard online and based on the description, it sounded like a great fit for what … Read More

My grand plans for a AT section hike focused around a fund raiser for Alzheimer’s have also been put on hold since Riley was to be my … Read More
