The Carters and Carter Dome, and Union of Concerned Scientists

Wow, it's the middle of January already!

Our first hike of the year was an extremely cold (as in, -33 degrees windchill) trek up and over all three Carters (Carter Dome, South Carter, and Middle Carter).  Alex wrote a nice trip report on her website.

One important thing of note -- the following can be found on Alex's site, and I'll copy and paste it here (with her permission) -- we're happy and proud to do whatever we can -- stay tuned!

***We are pleased to announce that we will be fundraising over the coming years for Union of Concerned Scientists.  As citizens of this planet and students of science, we fear for the future of our environment.  The incoming Trump administration seems neither to understand the science behind the threat nor care about the welfare of future generations.  We strive to do our part to support science-based research and education concerning climate change so that We The People might give ourselves and future generations the chance to enjoy continuous clean water and habitable environments, regardless of the actions/inactions of the imminent United States Powers That Be.

We are meeting with the good people at UCS next month.  After that, we will write more about our plans and actions.  In the meantime, please visit the UCSUSA website to learn more about who they are and what they do, and DONATE...because it certainly looks like science and the procurement of real knowledge will be more and more dependent on public, and not governmental, support over the next four years.***
