My sister and I conquered out first 4000-footer today. Mount Moosilauke actually wasn't very hard. It's a good start, but I don't intend to become a hardcore peak bagger. 7.4 miles round trip, with about 2500 feet in elevation change.

Even without their aid, the column of… Continue reading Funny thing about firemen. . .
New Hobbies
Like I need more to occupy my time. . . Yesterday Anita, Cricket and I hiked Mt. Willard. It was a nice day, but a bit hazy. At the top, we stumbled onto a Letterbox.

Just posted the companion to this over at Firepics.net. Click here for more from the album. Iain and I found this on I-95 back in 11/05. You don't often see a P-15 loose in the wild. This one was retired from Pease AFB and was headed to its new home on the West Coast.
