World's Newest Grid Finisher...Gary T.

[J&J]

Today, on Cannon Mountain, over 20 hikers accompanied Gary T. as he completed his Grid. Gary doesn't post on VFTT but certainly lots of people know him. A tremendous tailgate party completed the day with J&J grid dogs being the specialty. Gary was accompanied by 11 other grid finishers making this a gridiot kind of day. Congratulations, Gary!!

As I've said elsewhere, I'm always astounded at this feat! Great job, Gary! (Maybe now you'll find time to explore your backyard, the Belknaps?)

Gary has now hiked the "48" NH four thousand footers

On this day, Gary completed his "GRID" on the summit of
Cannon Mt. Via the Kinsman Ridge Trail from the Cannon

Gary was joined on this day by his lovely partner,
Alberta, his mom Anne, his brother Mark, and a
contingent of friends and well wishers.
