In 1955 I was in high school in Connecticut. The Connecicut Concil of Churches planed a retreat/work trip for young people to go to Pine Mt. I didn't know anything about the White Mountains but it seemed like a fun trip. There were 16 of us, 8 boys and 8 girls. The boys stayed in the Randolph...

Driving Cross Country Got this info for the IL highpoint from the Highpointers web site and that was the case when I did it several years ago. You might check before you go down there. For one of the best cross country drives I've done I started in Kenmore Square and followed US 20 to the...

My first trip to the Whites was while I was in high school in 1955. I was part of a church group from Connecticut who went up to Gorham and spent two weeks working on the Horton Center on Pine Mountain. The center was in it's very early stages and our group of 16 boys and girls spent the first...
