An early arrival of the storm system cut my day short and I had to skip Madison, but I was able to summit Adams. Since it was the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, I flew my American flag on the summit. Read more...

A winter ascent of Monroe and Washington has been on my bucket list for over two years, but I've had to postpone a number of times for various reasons the last two winters.
