Favorite Places:
: My favorite local place is my
backyard, the White
Mountains. When I venture
further out, nothing beats
the beauty and expanse of
Alaska. However I always
think of my trip to the
Everest Base Camp in Nepal
and that is the place I most
desire to go back to. That
said, I just completed the
115 miles AV2 trek in the
Italian Dolomites and liked it
so much I'll be going back
this summer to do the AV1 trek!

Outdoor Experience:
: I've been hiking and
backpacking for over 25
years. I've backpacked the
entire Appalachian Trail,
backpacked Vermont's Long
Trail twice, and summited
the 100 highest peaks in
New England! Reached the
summit of Island Peak in
Nepal, 20,305 feet in 2002.
I've reached the summits of
Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker, and
the Mexican volcanoes
including the now
unclimbable, Popo. Tried,
but did not reach the
summits of Denali (Mt.
McKinley) and Aconcagua. It
was still an awesome
experience.
