Stinson Mountain in the Winter
I have hiked Stinson Mountain twice. But neither had the clear view of today. With the last few snowstorms, the mountain is a winter wonderland. The trees are laden with snow. The sky was a bright clear blue. Last spring, I hiked it with some of my family. This is the same view in the […]
Dog Boots and Butt Sleds
A quick PSA. Got my butt sleds the other day from LL Bean. I will be out later today to practice with them before hitting the trails. These were in their on-line sales section. Pups have their doggie booties on. This snow, while fluffy, is sticking to their paws. No fun having ice balls between […]
3 Day, 6 Mountains, 20+ Miles
Actually, it was 7 mountains but the AMC does not count one toward the NH 4K’s. This past Thursday, my friend Carol and I set out to conquer 6 of the 7 mountains left for us to complete the 48 – 4ooo foot mountains in NH. With the assistance from two of my sisters, we […]
Advice
Blog-tember Friday, Sept. 30: Picture this, you’ve been stopped on the street by the photographer of Humans of New York, and he asks, “What advice would you give to a large group of people?” Share a picture of yourself along with the advice. Advice? I’m not sure. I would have to say, don’t be afraid […]
Year in Pictures
Blog-tember Wednesday, Sept. 28: The top five pictures that illustrate your year so far. How do you narrow down all those pictures? I’ll try. Our one and only snowmobile ride ended with a visit to the emergency room and surgery for Tom. A broken clavicle and 3 broken ribs. He’s was back to his old […]

Crazy Adventure
Blog-tember Thursday, Sept. 15: What is the craziest adventure you’ve ever been on? It would have to be my current quest of hiking the 4000-foot mountains (as classified by the Appalachian Mountain Club) in New Hampshire. There are 48 of them ranging from 4003 feet in elevation to 6288. The tallest is Mt Washington. I had […]
A Day in the Life
Blog-tember Saturday, Sept. 10: A day in your life! Take us through it with you by sharing a photo each hour of the day. This was a tough one for me. The thought of taking a picture every hour just didn’t work for me. Keeping track of time is not my strong suit. I’m not […]
This Summer’s Favorites
Blog-tember Saturday, Sept. 3: Now that summer’s at an end, share a list of favorites from the season! For this post I thought I would use mostly pictures. I hope you enjoy. Looking back at my pictures you would think I spend all of my time on the mountains. While I try to get out […]
Current Goals
The Blog-tember challenge. Friday, Sept. 2: Share a list of your current goals. Complete the NH 4k footers. There are 48. I have 10 left. At least I hope so. I am writing this early, scheduled to publish on Sept 2. But I will be hiking Mt Washington. If all goes well, I’ll post pictures. […]
