I received a nice note yesterday from Martha Hay – a yellow ribbon honoree on Mt. Kilimanjaro. Martha spent part of her youth in Kenya, looking at Kilimanjaro – the great African sentinel mountain – from the Yngong Hills. Today I headed up Mt. Moosilauke with a fellow Kilimanjaro teammate, Rick Morse. Moosilauke is the western sentinel of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Moosilauke affords spectacular views across the Valley into Vermont, as well as north and east into the Presidential Range and the rest of the White Mountains.
Winter storm Nemo just blew through, drawing some spectacularly clear Canadian air in its wake, and the day and the views were spectacular. The weather was cool and breezy on the summit – -10° and blowing 25-35 knots.
Martha, the Prouty Mountaineering Team – and extended family – send you our total support from the summit of Mt. Moosilauke on a splendid winter’s day.
