1997

1997 was my second year with Summit Seekers. I did not want to go at all, but my grandparents insisted. I did go and it was not really my cup of tea. We went up Mt. Lafayette and Lincoln. Those are just about the second tallest in New England. But, there are no shops at summit like Mt. Washington. No water refills, and if you are the last one up, like me, you don't have much time to rest. Of course the ones up there first get quite a long time. Darn
There were a lot of pains that year! Jared, a friend of mine since before I can remember, got nailed in the head with a rock, OUCH. I almost cut off my thumb while trying to show Jared how to carve letters into a block of wood OUCH Also, one other member of our crew had to go to the hospital.
Well, here are some pictures. I brought my own camera that year so I have more.
