“The good of going into the mountains is that life is reconsidered. “
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
(We snatched this quote from the blog of Tom Ryan, a middle-aged Massachusetts journalist who hiked all 48 of the 4,000-foot peaks in the White Mountains. Twice. Over 90 days in a single winter. He was accompanied by Atticus M. Finch, “a miniature schnauzer of some distinction.” His book on their exploits, Following Atticus, was published by William Morrow in September. Reviews have been strong, and it’s going on the nightstand ASAP.)
