How did you celebrate your 48th?

[mtnpa]

with a bunch of Budweisers at the Imp shelter...

Six of your closest friends . Other than you, I bet none of them made it out alive

Anyone who thinks they're slow; I summited Mt Washington in 1967.
I haven't finished yet

hahaha - I think its all about what your into - and the time you have to do it. personally, I am more into redlining something like the great gulf and hiking those peaks multiple times - thick bushwacking isn't for me . If we had peaks like out west, I think I would be more into the list - but we only have a few that get above treeline, so it is what it is... all what your into -

Mtnpa - if you really wanted, you could bang that list out in miminal time, but you choose more fun things

Actually I finished the both NH & NE 4ks list on Galehead.

As with most of my summits I was solo, I didn't make much of a big deal, I spent a long tie sitting on the summit reflecting.

When I got home I immediately called my mother, stuck down in FLA and told her. She was the the one that got me into hiking.

It just struck me that, with some planning, I could complete the 48 on my 48th B-Day. I need to look at my maps.

Let me know when its coming up, I will give you some company!

Isolation was my 48th. Hiked it w/ my husband, my all-time favorite hiking partner. At the summit, we tried to make a video w/ my camera w/ me using sign language to describe what I was feeling (we both teach at a deaf school). Alas, my camera's batteries died. . .so I had to write the *$)#(@& essay later when I got home!

I remember we went to some pizza place in Gorham and ate a lot of food.

What is it about Mt. Isolation??? End of August I will hike it once again, w/ a friend for his 48th. And I am wickedly excited.

I finished on Owl's Head with Charlie, good friends and a small bottle of champagne (I saved the cork).

I will always remember that day for finishing, but also for crossing rivers after dark and being terrified! It was a thrill and an adventure.
