Having been born in 1962, and liking and listening to music from the early sixties onward, I thought it might be fun to attempt a listing of my favorite albums each year since birth.
The initial post for this series of ideas began on December 26th, 2023. You can look it up....
This time, I present thirty records I really appreciate and enjoy, released in 1968.
Despite most of these records being non-commercial, I have grown to appreciate these a great deal.

And from the Marathon Archives...
Sometime in October of 2002 - 2003, Tippi completed her first "Marathon" along the Mt Riga Plateau; it would also be my 26th. We had the "Bandit" along for the adventure.
Our time was recorded as 5:38:00 over 24.7-miles. I recall the end of the run taking forever once we descended Frissell and headed back to Mt. Washington State Forest Headquarters, as we might have diverted from the most direct track.
Intersection prior to Brace.
I believe this is the top of Brace Mountain.
