This fourth of July weekend has been targeted for quite some time now for us to tackle a few more 4000 footers on our list. We had another visit planned to AL and UP’s condo in Bartlett, NH and we had been debating which hike we were going to do. For a while we contemplated [...]
Archives for 4000 Footers
North and South Hancock
It’s been a while since I last made a post on this blog, which is now becoming more of a status report for our quest to complete the 4000 footers of the White Mountains. I’m back today to report that we have not given up, and that yesterday we knocked off two more mountains on [...]
Mounts Tom, Field, and Willey
After our recent Labor Day weekend trek up North and South Kinsman, Katy and I had completed 7 of the 48 4000 footers in New Hampshire. In the hopes of getting to double digits before the winter settles in, we planned a visit to AL and UP’s condo in Bartlett, NH for Columbus Day weekend [...]
The Kinsmans
This weekend, Katy and I decided to continue our assault on the 4000 footers by taking a single day trip up to Franconia Notch to summit the peaks of North Kinsman and South Kinsman. This time, however, we brought friends. My sister, Maureen and Katy’s sister Anne both took us up on our invitation to [...]
Mount Moriah
A lot of things have happened since Katy and I tagged the top of our most recent 4000 footer. Most notably, we got married! After years of dating, a long engagement, and much planning, we finally tied the knot on June 12, 2010. It was a perfect ceremony, a whirlwind reception, and an incredible day. [...]
4000 Footers Status
This post is intended to serve as a real-time status report of our quest to join the White Mountain 4000 Footers Club. Personally I’ve hiked probably more than a dozen of these mountains in the past, but this list will only contain dates and reports of instances where Katy and I hiked the mountain together. [...]
Mount Tecumseh
After a long winter with many changes going on in my life, this weekend it was time to get back to our new constant. Katy and I checked off another mountain in our pursuit to join the White Mountain 4000 Footers Club. This trip was actually a very spur of the moment trip. Our weekends [...]
Cannon Mountain
For several weeks, now, Katy and I have been hoping to knock off another 4000 foot mountain in our goal of hiking all of New Hampshire’s 4000 footers. With winter closing in, there aren’t too many weekends left before we would likely be hiking on a snow covered trail. With the recent unseasonably warm temperatures [...]
Lafayette Lincoln Loop
This past weekend, Katy and I went on the first of hopefully many adventures hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It’s been quite some time since I’ve done a lot of real, solid hiking. When I was much younger, my dad, brother, uncle, and I used to make semi-frequent camping/hiking trips up north. [...]
