Pursuit of the patch Daniell, the Four Thousand Footer Club's secretary of 18 years, said this spring there were 7,100 members, but he believes there are more than 3,000 who have climbed all Four Thousand Footers and not applied for the patch. There also are clubs for climbing New England's Four Thousand Footers, which includes the 14 in Maine and five in Vermont, climbing all of them in the winter, and climbing New England's 100 highest peaks. At the same time, he said the fad of climbing all the region's Four Thousand Footers has gained momentum since a group in the Appalachian Mountain Club started the activity almost 50 years ago. outdoors.mainetoday.com /hiking/021006hike.shtml   (1759 words)

Four Thousand Footers Q&A - New Hampshire Hikes and Walks The Four Thousand Footer Committee of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) used to say 46, then 47, now 48. For peaks without a given elevation on the map, the Four Thousand Footer Committee list gives an estimated elevation by adding half the contour interval to the highest contour, while the other lists just use the highest contour elevation. The USGS and Hancock use a specified elevation where available, while the AMC and the Trailwrights use the highest point even if no elevation is given for it. hikenh.netfirms.com /Hike4000.htm   (703 words)

A Picture is Worth a Thousand . . .. Dollars? Boats were 16 footers and bigger, made of fiberglass, twice as heavy, and all aglitter with features.

Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Living / Arts / Climbing every mountain Gene Daniell, secretary to the all-volunteer Four Thousand Footer Club Committee, processes each one-page application form that successful hikers mail to his home in Concord, N. The 7,360 who hold the patch don't account for all the hikers who have climbed the 4,000-footers, Daniell says. That would be the New England Four Thousand Footers, of course. For 46 years, the challenge of earning the Four Thousand Footer Club arm patch has lured peak-baggers, as frequent climbers are known, to the Whites. www.boston.com /news/globe/living/articles/2003/12/22/climbing_every_mountain   (1215 words)

The Phoenix Guide to Summer 2003 The point is, the Four Thousand Footer Club is an endurance contest for ordinary people. It takes four, five, six months to do the entire Appalachian Trail, making it a proposition that requires daunting amounts of time and money, as well as the ability to walk 12 to 15 miles a day and a superhuman capacity to withstand intense boredom. IT WAS MID AFTERNOON on a hot, humid August day two years ago when the four of us headed up the Crawford Path in New Hampshire's White Mountains, 30-pound packs on our backs, fighting against gravity. www.bostonphoenix.com /summer/dan.html   (3230 words)

The Surprise - by Craig Kelley It was a gift of perspective that bagging all the four thousand footers in New England could not provide. As a reward, we'd seen our familiar trails through the eyes of kids who'd never heard the wind whistling through the trees overhead, who had never skipped stones across a slowly moving river and whose idea of a Saturday outing was going to the mall. I thought back to a trip we'd taken in the fall, hiking through a hilly, wooded area not too far from Boston. craigkelley.org /about_sierra1.htm   (956 words)

Ocean Liner Gazette France Article - Summer 1996 The last of the thousand-footers, (only four had been built, the first two Queens for Cunard White Star and Normandie and France of the French Line), she stood unmatched in 1962, the year of her entry into service, as the last word in style, comfort and efficiency on the North Atlantic. Everything we ate, from the jam in the morning until the petits fours at night, was faultless and impeccable. The soft, soothing sound of French, the quiet efficiency of the staff and the distinctive design of the interior all combined to make one feel that one was in la belle France from the first moment on board. www.oceanliner.org /sauter.htm   (3088 words)

The Five Meditating Buddhas - An Enquiry into Spiritual Aesthetics Also consistent with this context is the fact that Vairochana is said to rule from the center of the world, with the complete Vajrayana pantheon (including the other four Dhyani Buddhas) arrayed around him. More relevant to our interest here is the fact that this gesture suggests confidence, deep-rootedness, and the same kind of determination which carried the Buddha to his enlightenment, inspite of the numerous hurdles which crossed his path. The logical reasoning being that as the sun is the originator and nourisher of the earth, so is a king to his people. www.kheper.net /topics/Buddhism/dhyanibuddhas.html   (2879 words)

Views From The Top - Forums - WINTER Wild Whites Ultra Record? So, IF the Four Thousand Footer Committee were keeping track of records, neither of these (Tim's and Cave Dog's) would count. Before anyone plots a strategy, I should point out that the AMC 4000 Footer Club requires you to "climb and descend" all the 4000 footers, so the clock is still running until you get back to the road. Whether an official AMC 4000 footer committee rule or not, it seems odd that the clock should start on the first summit and end on the last summit. www.vermontphoto.com /wildwhites/winterWWUM/WinterWhitesThread1.htm   (4752 words)
