Hi to All

On Saturday, September 15, 2012, Rejean Carbonneau
( "Rej the Edge" ) became the "Twenty Eighth ( #28 )" finisher
of the "GRID".

Rejean has now hiked the "48" NH four thousand footers
in "every calendar month" ( 12 x 48 = 576 ).

On this day, Rejean completed his "GRID" on the summit of
Mt Moosilauke.

A contingent of 13 friends and well-wishers joined Rejean on this hike.
( Yvon, Annie, Danny, Karl, Suzie, Barry, Etienne, Larry, Francois, Yves,
Pascal, Jean, Francois, & Melanie ).

CONGRATULATIONS TO REJEAN!!!!!!!!

I know you will all join me, in congratulations to Rejean,
on completion of this fun & rewarding goal & achievement.

Note: Our "first" finisher from Quebec, Canada.

THANKS & TAKE CARE

Come back to the Adirondacks to become the FIRST double GRID finisher!!!

Also, Pinpin's many records await a challenger.

Congratulations Réjean.

Félicitations Réjean. You are certainly one of New England's hiking legends. I don't ever remember meeting you out on the trails, but maybe you just blew by us so fast that I didn't get a good look.

Anyway, now with the picture I have a better idea of who I am looking for.

À l'un de ces jours sur les sentiers.
 
Congratulations!!!

Will never forget trying to keep up with you and Oncoman a few winters ago hiking over Avery & West Bigelow and South Horn! The 4am start was VERY not me but getting done early afternoon was nice!

Another memory is meeting you (and Oncoman, Pin-Pin Jr, Carl Cressey & his brother and a young Canadian that had dug a hole in a snow bank at the trailhead and slept in it the night before!) at 3am as you all prepared to head out for Baxter & Hamlin Peaks! I was so overwhelmed by you GIANTS of the hiking world I backed out, which was a wise choice by me! You all went on to not only successfully complete that hike but, as I recall, went out the next day to climb North Brother as a day hike!!!

May success follow you wherever you go!!! ;)
