First Post

I'm starting this blog as a record of my hiking and outdoor excursions, starting in January 2008. I've always gone walking/hiking with my parents, going up little mountains like Pack Monadnock in western New Hampshire. For the past couple summers I've been dragging my dad up and down some of the local mountains, but Mount Monadnock is a strenuous trip for my parents these days, so our options have been a little limited! Now that I'm in college though, I've met people in MIT's Outing Club who do crazy things like hiking over all the NH Presidentials in one day -- they're inspiring me to get out and do bigger and better things.

My goal: All 48 NH 4000-footers by the time I graduate from MIT.

That gives me until June 2010, about 2 years (since I'll be gone in Australia for the next few months). It'll be an adventure :)
