Memorable Moments

This section contains mostly pictures from past events that I think you might find interesting.  However, please respect the copyright of these images. 

The ice storm of 1998

Northern New England and much of Eastern Canada got hit by an unusually severe ice storm that went on most of the week and finally ended the night of Friday, 9 January 1998.  As luck would have it, I was co-leading a Harvard Cabin weekend starting that same night. 

The picture on the right was taken the next morning in Crawford Notch near the old train station as we were getting ready to hike up Mt Avalon.  The ice covering the trees was so thick that Mike Hansen of the New Hampshire chapter was able to climb right up.  (He did this to pose for the camera to demonstrate how solid the ice was).

Foliage 1997

Fall is a beautiful time in New England, and the fall of 1997 was particularly spectacular.  This picture was taken on 12 October from Table Rock in Maine, looking northwest across Grafton Notch.
