Over the harsh winter of 2007/08, we started following them on their journey of trying to hike all New Hampshire's 48 4,000+ foot peaks twice during the official winter months. Although with the harsh winter we had, and Cannon Mountain reporting over 250" of snow, they were able to bag 66 of them that winter!  Their reason for doing such a thing was simple, to gather donations for Angell Animal Medical Center, the wonderful non-profit that helps thousands of animals each year, including Atticus!  </FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=justify class=s1 style='text-align: justify;'> <FONT style='font-size:12pt;'> </FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=justify class=s1 style='text-align: justify;'> <FONT style='font-size:12pt;'>With Tom's hiking and outdoors experience, we asked him to continue to write an ongoing column for the Northcountry News on hiking in the White Mountains.
