MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • August 7, 2022
I am climbing to the summit of Mount Hight in the White Mountain National Forest with my daughter, Corinna, and we’re squeezing this hike in between her busy summer schedule before she returns to the UMaine for her sophomore year. As we talk during our ascent, we realize this is the 10th annual trip of our father-daughter hikes in the White Mountains. A lot has happened in our lives over those 10 years. Perhaps most important of all, our love of being among the mountains has impressed upon us the need to lighten our impact on the environment as much as we can in the hope that these mountains will still be pristine wild places for Corinna’s children to hike with their kids someday. ~ Gregory Rec
