We are KTA members who live in Cooperstown, in northwestern Pennsylvania. We also hike the Adirondacks of New York and throughout New England. We wanted to let you know that we completed our hikes of the Northeast 111 high peaks last year.
We received our scrolls for that hiking achievement at the annual reunion of the AMC Four Thousand Footer Clubs (White Mountain and New England Four Thousand Footer Clubs) on April 14, 2012, in Exeter, NH.
Only 19 people finished the NE 111 last year, and we were the only two non-Winter finishers present at the reunion meeting. As NE 111ers, we are number 652 for Linda and 653 for Bob. We started our Northeast mountain hikes with Mt. Jefferson in the Whites in 1999, then concentrated on the Adirondack High Peaks to complete the 46R requirement, and finished our NE 111 on Mt. Whiteface in New Hampshire in 2011. The journeys to each and every peak were, indeed, the real destinations.
