Hi! I’m Carol, Cathy’s hiking buddy and guest blogger for the day.
Everybody needs a friend who encourages and supports you in your endeavors. Cathy is that friend. We first met at a quilt guild meeting where she got together a small group of people to meet monthly to work on a mystery quilt. In the conversations at these get-togethers she discovered that I like to hike and Cathy immediately inquired if that was something she and her dogs could do too. That was the start of our great adventure.
We started out doing local walks then graduated to hills and small mountains. Then Cathy discovered the 4000 footer group and things started to change. There are 48 mountains in NH that are over 4000 feet high and she decided we could climb them all. Our first was Mt Tecumseh at only 4003 ft, but the quest was on.
Now, I am a person who likes being on mountains, but I don’t like drop-offs. I scare easily. Many of these mountains have trails that are challenging and some are downright scary. Cathy is much more adventurous and daring. Thanks to her encouragement, I have climbed trails that I had never thought possible and been places that I had only dreamed about. Cathy not only encourages me, she stretches my limits which now seem endless. I hope all of you are as fortunate to have such a friend.
Note from Cathy: If if were not for our friendship, I would have never even been on a mountain hike. Carol has taught me everything I know about hiking.
Do you have a friend like this?
