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.

With my son’s snowshoeing & winter “camping” trip coming up March 17, I decided to get him out for a while with his snowshoes.

#EarnYourTurns: Okemo Attempt via Nor’easter (March 3, 2018)

With the 10+ hours I spend commuting every week and trying to keep up with two young boys, time and energy are hard to come by.

Looking for Levi …

I will update this entry if I hear anything from his owner. My wife recently ran across a post on Facebook asking for volunteers. They need experienced hikers to help locate a dog that … Read More
