Tim Francisco takes us climbing!

Many of you know who Tim is: a physical therapist at ProActive Pysical Therapy here in Waterville - and that he's intent on becoming a "46-r" - that is, he's going to climb all 46 of the Adirondack Mountains whose summits are above 4,000 feet.

Last weekend he climbed "Tabletop"- his 26th. (Only 20 to go!) "Tabletop's" summit is 4,427'; is just a bit due north of Mt. Marcy, the tallest of the Peaks, and involves a 15.2 mile walk, roundtrip!

His hiking companions were Mark Mattson and his wife Kelly, who is a teacher at the Memorial Park Elementary School.

Here are some of his pictures and a brief but all-too-believable description of the weather:

"It was 10-15 Degrees F while hiking but -22 Degrees F overnight.

Summited 'Table Top.'

Couldn't summit Marcy because it was too windy
~60 mph,
got knocked down twice by the wind."

(No! They're not Crazy! and No! They're not alone! Lots of people do this for fun!)

We did!
