There is a new hiking guide, "Go Take a Hike: Hiking Tips and Outings for Seniors in Western Maine and the White Mountains" by Allen Crabtree, that I highly recommend.
This is auspicious, because you can actually pick up an autographed copy today, Saturday May 27 at International Mountain Equipment on Main Street in North Conway, where Crabtree will be signings books and meeting the public from 4 to 6 p.m.
