  • The Southeast Breeze
    The Southeast Breeze The newsletter of the Appalachian Mountain Club Southeastern Massachusetts Chapter Winter 2008-09 — December, January, & February View from the Chair By Wayne Anderson At the November Annual Meeting, Mike Woessner passed the Chapter Chair torch to me. Thank you Mike for serving for the last two years and providing outstanding leadership to the Chapter. Yours will be big shoes to fill. I look forward to working with you over the coming year as you serve in the newly created position of Past Chapter Chair. Having both the present and past Chapter Chair on the board should provide excellent continuity. I also look forward to working with Claire Goode as the newly elected Chapter Vice Chair . Our Annual Meeting gave us a newly elected slate of chapter officers (see page 2). A big thank you to everyone who stepped forward to fill these volunteer leadership positions. We couldn't run the chapter without your leadership. If you'd like to volunteer for an open position, please contact me. The November Annual Meeting was more than just elections. We also had a great 3-course dinner! And we presented the Volunteer Recognition Awards. Each committee chair selected those that had made exceptional volunteer contributions during the year for recognition. The inspirational speaker for the evening was research scientist Brendan Foley from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. His talk was "Ancient Shipwrecks in the Deep Sea." We recently held our AMC SEM Chapter Hut Night in New Hampshire at the AMC Cold River Camp in Evans Notch. Spending the weekend hiking, biking, and paddling with all of you was a good reminder of why I joined the AMC—to spend time outside with great folks, doing what I love to do.

  • Wildcat Mountain Traverse Plus a Perfect White Mountain Sampler
    BOOTPRINTS Volume 10 Issue 4 July 2006 were bad, since we started following a brook down below us. It’s when we stopped that we had problems with mosquitoes and black flies. They were a nuisance, but they weren’t overwhelming, especially if we put on bug repellent. Bryan Goodwin (aka, EB, Energizer Bunny or Energizer Bryan) was first to the top. It took him an hour and fifty minutes on a trail rated for 2 hours and fifty minutes. The rest of us followed up to the summit in drips and drabs. On the summit, even though we were told about its presence in the literature, there was an incredibly well maintained fire tower. It’s no longer used as a fire tower, since airplanes now spot forest fires. This is the only fire tower that exists in the Whites, and it was beauty. It was short and squat in Allison, Kathy, & Richard on the Wildcat Ridge Trail (Photo by Bob Morgan) design, not like the typical tall fire tower that we normally see. You could walk up some steep stairs A Perfect White for about 25 feet to a walkway that Wildcat Mountain went around the fire tower.
