The gazebo at the center of town. I stopped by on my way to my before New Year’s Day hike incase the weather did not cooperate in the morning.

Thursday, 01/01/2026: Posted photo — New Year’s Hike.

A photo of me from yesterday’s hike. We received snow in the morning and it was too dangerous to drive to the trail head for the hike. My street was not plowed at the time I needed to leave for the hike.

Some wonderful icefalls seen during a hike on Wachusett Mountain.

Saturday, 01/03/2026: Post photo — AMC Mount Monadnock.

Today I was co-leading a hike on Mount Monadnock. The AMC has a winter hiker series that starts out with new winter hikers attending a winter hiking workshop. That leads to a Track I hike, easier hikes on flat to semi flat trails. Today was a Track II hike, one that involves more technical hiking for higher elevations. For the Track II, full winter hiking equipment was used — microspikes, crampons, shoe shoes, goggles, and some rope work. This was the first time some of the hikers attempted winter hikes that were more technical. Everyone did great.

That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
