Worst Weather

Long known as home of the world's worst weather, New Hampshire's 6288 foot Mount Washington had its 1934 wind gust record of 231 mph broken - according to the World Meterological Organization.

A few of us here at Celtic have had the pleasure of hiking Mt. Washington, and parts of the White Mountain Range on a few occassions - for good reason, the area takes great pride in the longstanding record. And weather aside, it's an absolute beautiful area.

All the same, the folks at the Mount Washington Observatory do outstanding work. Mount Washington's bitter cold, freezing fog, heavy snow and legendary wind due to multiple jet streams that cross the range, make its reputation as the world's worst weather no myth.

Wisconsin Pharmacal Donates Water Purification Tablets

Special thanks to the team at Wisconsin Pharmacal for donating more than 300,000 Potable Aqua water purification tablets to those affected by the devastating earthquake in Haiti.

Potable Aqua is a good fit in areas struck by natural disasters because other methods of purifying water are usually unavailable. Even boiling water is oftentimes not possible due to power outages. One bottle of Potable Aqua tablets can purify up to 25 quarts of water and is completely effective at killing harmful bacteria and viruses. There is no need to mix chemicals...simply remove the tablets from their bottle and drop into the appropriate amount of water.

Bigfoot

A bunch of us encountered the Leave No Trace Bigfoot at Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in Salt Lake City. We were able to snap this photo of the elusive beast as he wandered through the halls of the Salt Palace.

Check out the message on his shirt...pretty clever.

"Bigfoot's Been Doing It for Years...Leave No Trace."

Headed to OR?

Are you headed to Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in Salt Lake City next week? If so, let us know. A few of us from the Celtic crew will be in attendance. We'd love to meet up for a cup of joe or perhaps a pint or two at Squatters...your choice!

Cheers and safe travels!
