Tom Ryan & Atticus
|
|
Tom & Atticus have been a huge part of the Northcountry News, with their very popular column titled, "The Adventures of Tom & Atticus." 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!
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. It includes tips, safety, trails and personal experiences among a variety of other items related to the White Mountains. We are thrilled Tom & Atticus continue to share their knowledge and experience with us. We are truly grateful. Tom & Atticus has become a household name in these parts.
Tom's Book, titled, "Following Atticus" is on the shelves and available at all book stores across the country and online. Please be sure to check it out. It is fantastic!
You may also visit Tom & Atticus and see photos of their many treks at their blogspot.
Also, find out how you can donate to their cause.
