Summits for My School: I did it! 10 summits and $5000
http://summitsformyschool.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-did-it-10-summits-and-5000.html
Summits for My School. Sunday, September 21, 2008. 10 summits and $5000. I reached the summits of ten "4000-footers". This year and raised over $5000 to help my school. We all woke up - me, my brother, my dad, and my papa. About three hours after we started. Little Haystack Mountain is 4,840 feet high, but it doesn't count as a "4000-footer" because it's on a ridge trail and the drops between the mountains next to it are less than 200 feet. So, I couldn't count it as one of my project summits. Then we sa...

Summits for My School: More Press and More Mountains
http://summitsformyschool.blogspot.com/2008/08/more-press-and-more-mountains.html
Summits for My School. Monday, August 25, 2008. More Press and More Mountains. I've missed climbing mountains this month, but it's been a busy month. I went on a vacation to Cape Cod, and I've been going to a day camp. Now that September is almost here, I'm planning to climb my last two mountains for this project (though I might even climb more than ten before the end of the year). The next two mountains are going to be Mount Lincoln. Wrote about me again. Click here to read Saturday's article. The money...

Summits for My School: Starting My Project
http://summitsformyschool.blogspot.com/2008/01/starting-my-project.html
Summits for My School. Saturday, January 5, 2008. On New Year's Eve we were talking about resolutions and goals for 2008. One of my goals is to climb at least ten 4000-footers within the year. A "4000-footer" is a mountain with a summit higher than 4000 feet above sea level, and there are 67 of them in New England. Over half of them are in New Hampshire. Last year I climbed seven mountains, three of which are 4000-footers (one of them was Mount Katahdin, the highest mountain in Maine, at 5,268 ft.).

Summits for My School: June 2008
http://summitsformyschool.blogspot.com/2008/06
Summits for My School. Sunday, June 29, 2008. Summit #6: Mount Moosilauke. Six of the ten mountains in my goal have now been climbed. Yesterday, I climbed my sixth: Mount Moosilauke. Moosilauke is 4,802 feet high, and is the most southwestern of the White Mountains. The whole trail was 7.2 miles long. And got to the beginning of the trail at 8:45 AM. Mount Moosilauke is interesting because it's actually owned by a college: Dartmouth College. It was so dark and misty, and it reminded us of Harry Potter.

Summits for My School: July 2008
http://summitsformyschool.blogspot.com/2008/07
Summits for My School. Monday, July 28, 2008. Summits #7 and #8: Mt Osceola and East Osceola. Before I tell you about our exciting hike, I would like to thank you all for helping me get so close to my fundraising goal. I only need to hike two more summits and raise $22 to meet my goal of ten summits and $5000. Wow! The hike was 10.2 miles long, it took about 8 1/2 hours, and we reached the peaks of two mountains: Mount Osceola. 4,340 feet & East Osceola. The summit from Mount Osceola is really beautiful,...

Summits for My School: Backyard Environmentalists
http://summitsformyschool.blogspot.com/2009/06/backyard-environmentalists.html
Summits for My School. Sunday, June 14, 2009. My last blog posting was way back in November, but things about my project keep on going. Over the last seven or eight months, the school bought a van and had it converted to run on vegetable oil, the school's high school Animals and Environmental Workshop. We call it the Veggie Van. Another thing that's been going on is that Dan Brielman has been working on a movie. About my project, and now it's done! If you want to watch it, click here. Plant an organic ga...

Summits for My School: Summit #1: Mount Tecumseh
http://summitsformyschool.blogspot.com/2008/01/summit-1-mount-tecumseh_27.html
Summits for My School. Sunday, January 27, 2008. Summit #1: Mount Tecumseh. TRIP REPORT, BY EVAN:. I've just climbed my first 4000-footer of the year! It's 4003 feet tall, which means it's the shortest of the 4000-footers. Even though Tecumseh is the shortest of the 4000-footers, it was my hardest mountain yet. That's because of all of the snow there was, and how cold it was. It was very cold at the top, and it felt like my fingers were frozen. Sunday, January 27, 2008. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
