Publish: "The Other 52", a guide to NH 100 Highest
Donation protected
As a longtime explorer of the NH White Mountains, I have pondered the subject for as long as I have lived in the state, how to give back to the hiking community.
I have written a hiking and bushwhacking guidebook entitled: "The Other 52: A hiker's guide to the lower 52 peaks of the New Hampshire 100 Highest list".
Written in a regional format, each chapter features one mountain on the New Hampshire Hundred Highest climbing list. With the well-known, NH 48 4000-footers occupying the tallest of peaks, I chose to focus on the 52 other peaks found at the bottom of the list. Some treks will be on trails, but many of the climbs must be made up the trailless mountainside.
In "The Other 52", I offer the reader topographic maps (1 per chapter, or 1 per peak), best approaches and route options for peaks who truly have no trails. While I offer no real GPX files or GPS tracks to follow breadcrumbs, I wanted to make this book a first stepping stone to get the reader on the correct path to successfully bushwhack the White Mountains, and have fun at it too!
144 pages, 27,000 words - the body of the guidebook is entirely written: all text, formatting, editing, photography and cartography was done entirely by myself, I am currently working with several publishing agencies and would like to offer friends and supporters of my project a 20% discount on the book when it comes out (proper discounts for e-books will be rewarded as well upon publication).
Thank you for helping this project come to life!
