It has been a while since I have tapped away at the keys but it is time to start chronicling new adventures. This morning I sit at the AMC Highland Center in Crawford Notch, NH. Yesterday (March 17 - ST. Patrick's Day) we hiked up the A-Z trail and the Lend-A-Hand Trail and up to the summit of Mt. Tom, a 4000 footer. One of the goals in this settling out period post our large trip last summer is to finish off the the 4000 footers and become members of the 4000 Foot Society. More on that to come, but we have about 20 more each to do.
This AM we woke to a gray socked in day with pretty good snow showers in teh Notch. Our plan is to head out to Mt. Jackson (another 4000 footer we have yet to climb) from the Highland Center, about a 5 hour round trip hike. The snow "showers" have lasted about 90 minutes now and while ther ewas small patches of blue earlier, it is pretty gray and snowy right now. Yesterday was like this but more blue sky and sun, and any snow/rain showers were short duration. The decision has been made to go out and give it a try, but we may walk for a while and bag it in favor of a trip to Jackson and Intervale.
