Atticus M. Finch & Thomas F. Ryan will be hiking the 4,000-footers of the White Mountains during the 90 days of winter as a fundraiser for Angell Animal Medical Center.
More housekeeping... Last week we drove the 30 minutes to Crawford Notch and climbed to the top of Mount Willard, a smaller mountain standing below Avalon and the rest of the Willey Range. It is only a mile and a half walk each way and the elevation rises gently. Nevertheless it has a summit affording beautiful views down into Crawford Notch. We reached the summit at 8:00 a.m. and the early morning sun played havoc with my camera lens but here are some of the shots.
"When I would recreate myself, I seek the darkest wood...the most dismal swamp. I enter the swamp as a sacred space...There is the strength."
~ Henry David Thoreau
