The opportunity to climb deliberately with friends and ponder the past days of life’s madness is always relished. But what remains singularly the best thing about hiking and today in general was that...

Simplicity is the ultimate beauty in your pieces. Thanks for sharing the sublimity!

thanks for bringing this to my attention, I know that there are other masters of the pen that are far more experienced than I, but I have submitted some things to Carol. If the mods don't object here is a small paragraph of a little thought: The Philosophy of Hiking The boots are tied up...

For those of you wishing to pay your respects to Ray, may find his grave at Harmony Cemetery in Georgetown, MA. All are welcome to leave a stone at the base. His Find a Grave memorial is here...

Thanks for the ideas...it's up there now in my to-do list with a dream library and now a gear room! :D

As the saying goes, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know,” played a key step in joining some of my friends from Maine, through my research for my book, “An American Original,” in a very interesting adventure at Baxter State Park. The plan was to come up to BSP on Friday, hike to Baxter...

CONGRATULATIONS! Bobby :D I'm so happy for you aned your journey to your accomplishment. Glad to have been a part of it for the several climbs we've done. Regards, Ridgewalker
