Great story of a highly successful and fun fundraiser for Lou Gerig's Disease...
From ALSA.org "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Takes U.S. by Storm"
August 12, 2014
In the last two weeks, the Ice Bucket Challenge has quite literally “soaked” the nation. Everyone from Ethel Kennedy to Justin Timberlake has poured a bucket of ice water over his or her head and challenged others do the same or make a donation to fight ALS within twenty-four hours.
Between July 29 and today, August 12, The ALS Association and its 38 chapters have received an astonishing $4 million in donations compared to $1.12 million during the same time period last year. The ALS Association is incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from those people who have been doused, made a donation, or both. Contributions further The Association’s mission to find a cure for ALS while funding the highest quality of care for people living with the disease.
"We have never seen anything like this in the history of the disease,” said Barbara Newhouse, President and CEO of The ALS Association. “We couldn’t be more thrilled with the level of compassion, generosity and sense of humor that people are exhibiting as they take part in this impactful viral initiative."

Franconia Notch / Ridgeline, NH
First Posted at Rambling Web Peaks at Franconia Notch, New Hampshire
I've hiked Franconia Notch quite a bit over the last few years. The more I hike this area, the more fascinated I become with the 'layout' or topography of the area. A week and a half ago I hiked North Peak, and took this picture. It's a 'panorama' shot, so there is some distortion. However, the view from North Peak is quite impressive, and it gives a unique perspective of Franconia Notch, and specifically Peaks along Franconia Ridge.
