This stream-of-consciousness postcard was assembled from random entries in the Marlboro Trail hiker register on Mount Monadnock, most-climbed mountain in the Western Hemisphere. A year of scrawled fragments…
Winter:
- Happy New Year!
- Today is my half-birthday!
- Lost crampons on hike, if found please call…
- Played hooky from work, a great choice.
- Made pee-pee in the woods!
- Happy Spring!
Spring:

- Forgot the bug spray.
Summer:

Although many asked in earnest, there was no comment from the mountain.
