Today on Mt. Moosilauke, Steve Moore completed the Grid, becoming the 18th finisher. Steve was accompanied by 18 of his friends on a beautiful day for a hike. On the summit, Hiker Ed presented Steve with a well earned Grid patch.

Seven previous grid finishers were also in attendance: Ed Hawkins #2, Guy Jubinville #7, Jim Towle #8, Al Aldrich #12, Bill Marcotte #14, June Rogier and John Gutowski #16T.

After the return trip down, a small gathering ensued on Ravine Lodge Road where 40 hot dogs, condiments, potato chips and many PBR's were consumed.

Congratulations Steve on a fantastic achievement!
