Introduction

I am Trish, mom to Alex. Alex and I both enjoy hiking, and we both enjoy the views from the tops of mountains. Last year, Alex accompanied my husband and me on many long hikes in Maine's Acadia National Park. Earlier this year, I read about the Four Thousand Footer Club (http://www.amc4000footer.org/) and explained the concept to Alex. She enthusiastically declared that she wanted to be a peakbagger...and so begins our quest.
