Not so for an Exeter man, Gernot Dauber has just returned from a nine day mountain climbing trek through . I he Appalachian Mountains in New Hampshire. Dauber, along with Bob Roulston of Stratford and Alex Mather and Ann Marie Van Es of Toronto motored to Pinkhaxn, New Hampshire and then took to the hills on foot. They represented the Bruce Trail Association. A total of 46 hikers broken into two groups covered 70 miles of rough terrain. According to Dauber the weather and terrain was "actually wicked". The Exeter hiking enthusiast continued, "This experience is hard to explain. There are enough trails and rocks to negotiate most of the peaks with the proper foot gear the only necessary equipment. I bagged 19 peaks. It was very rugged climbing. We were above tree lines at 4,000 feet." The highest peak in the Presidential Range in the Eastern United States is Mount Washington at 6,288 feet. Asked to compare his recent United States trip to a hike through the Canadian Rockies last year, Dauber replied, "This certainly surpassed the Rockies. The climbing was much more rugged in the White Mountains." The hikers stayed overnight at camp huts which accommodate 36 persons and are usually located at least three miles from a ser- vice road. Most supplies in- cluding fresh food are packed in daily. "The meals were fantastic. We had fresh fish from Boston every Wednesday." All supplies except large propane tanks are brought in on the backs of the hut crews. Propane comes in by helicopter. The hut crews are hand picked university students and usually stay at the jobs for three or four summers. During the hikes and at the hut camps. cleanliness is stressed. Dauber commented, "There is no pollution at all. Garbage is also packed out. Everything you take in must be carried back out." On his hike Dauber carried a pack of 36 pounds. Temperatures varied considerably during a normal day. Temparatures in the mornings at the camps would be in the low 40's, they would rise to H eywoods meet The eighth Heywood clan reunion was held in Riverview Park, Exeter with a good at- tendance.
