Yikes---We're more than half-way through January and I haven't posted anything since Nov 9th. Shame on me!
Lots of news to report!
I completed my "46" High Peaks journey on Esther Mountain on November 14, 2009. The day started off in the 50's, humid ,overcast and then quickly down the pooper. By the time we reached the herdpath to Esther, it was sprinkling with no indication of stopping. By the time we reached the summit, it was a raining and it was windy....so windy in fact the rain was coming in sideways. We enjoyed a feast of cheese, crackers, shrimp, cheescake bites, strawberries, and champagne! This was also the completion of Brian's 2nd summer round. Excellent day despite the weather. We were joined by Pam Y., Lee and Siobhan N., Matt C. and Richard.

Brian and I celebrated our 16th anniversary with a hike to Hurricane Fire tower in Keene on December 2, 2009. We bought each other matching Stanley food containers so we could bring soup on longer hikes.
Here's to another 16 years and many more hikes!
