In summer 2019, I worked for the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) at Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, New Hampshire. From May 28 to August 7, 2019, I summited all 48 peaks that are over 4000 ft in the White Mountains and joined the “AMC Four Thousand Footer Club.”

Suffice to say, I returned to Waumbek for an unexpected and undesired night hike that evening.]
