WILTON – Local author Ray O’Conor, along with friend and fellow hiker Wayne Richter, celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by climbing the Santanoni Range (Panther, Couchsachraga and Santanoni mountains) to complete the Adirondack Winter 46 High Peaks hiking challenge.
In 12 hours, O’Conor and Richter covered 17 miles of snow-covered trails under gloriously sunny skies. Not bad for a couple of 63-year-old guys.
