64 Peaks thus far and it's only June

 Renee and I hiked three peaks along the New Hampshire and Quebec border, way the hell up in the northernmost tip of NH. You had to drive like 15 miles down a remote sketchy dirt road just to get to the base of the mountains. It was a beautiful day.
 Old 1842 Marker designating the border between NH and Canada. Who the hell from the Government was way up here in 1842?!!
 Boundary Pond, NH on the mountainous NH / Quebec border. It takes a while just to find it on a map!, let alone get there. Beautiful wilderness.
 I bushwhacked up Green Mountain in the Adirondacks which is almost 4000'. Have fun going through these conifers! They will turn your clothes into a shag rug!!
 An infamous Adirondack mudhole that looks tame, but will swallow you to your hips and destroy your boots. And this was on the official trail!! There are plenty of bushwhacks that are easier terrain than some of the Adirondack park official trails.
 Ansel Adams would be proud of me on this one. Astounding view of the Great Range from Hopkins Mountain. It doesn't get any better than this.

Skate every day

 Pretty cool unmarked waterfall near Williams, Ma in the Berkshires. Ma and I had a great time hiking to it and checking it out!
 Here's Ma at another waterfall we checked out on Saturday. This one is Glendale Falls in the Berkshires and was roaring. Pretty awesome falls!
 I built a walking/snowmobile/XC Ski bridge over our stream outlet from the Pond which leads to the trails on our mountain. It came together really well especially considering I have no construction skills and just hit my fingers with a hammer all afternoon.
I was trying to get this moose to get into my truck in Northern Vermont and listen to some music and go for a ride, but he was playing hard to get.
