    1. Hi Grant, glad you like the pics, thanks! I use a Cannon Powershot A3100. I have kind of beaten it up but it still is taking good pictures!

  2. Chris,
    Love your blog. Your pictures inspired our hike last weekend up to Monroe. You are one of my go to blogs when deciding on where to hike in the White Mountains. Thank you for blogging and for your amazing photos.

    1. Thanks Ann!

      Your report and pics for your Monroe hike was great, I love that stretch of hiking the Crawford Path between Monroe and Eisenhower!

  3. Your banner picture on top of your blog is not yours. It's Alton's picture from Facebook. You really shouldn't use other people's pictures and say they are yours.

    1. Hi Anonymous, The picture in question I took from a hike on 1/16/12. Alton has used a picture or two of mine as a Facebook cover photo in the past and has credited me with the picture. Your comment is very rude and I find it kind of pathetic that you are creeping around my blog for that very reason. Please do me a favor and don't view my blog, it's for hikers and friends and you are neither in my mind, and you're obviously not a friend of hers, too.

      -Chris
