    Marley and I hope to finish our "NH 48 @ midnight" tonight. Weather and moon look very promising tonight for our completion of all 48 4000' summits hiked at night.

    End of an Era

    On Thursday, Marley and I set out for our morning walk. I had decided the night before to go to the Carters or Moriah.

    Some hikes have more meanings than others

    Marley (my dog) and I decided to do our only good deed for the year (it is nice to get it done early, so I can be grumpy the rest of 2011). We had scheduled a hike to the Kinsmans on 2-3-11 (Marley is working on his grid. We have a four year plan to complete the grid, dividing the 48 4K’s into 4...

With a spectacular day forecasted for Wed, we (I) decided...
