Week 18

8/11 Liberty Springs 1823, evening hike up

8/12 Guyot shelter 1836, franconia ridge, sunset view from W. Bond mtn, amazing views from above treeline.

8/13 Mizpah hut campsite 1854, breakfast leftovers from zealand, trail magic from stitches (AT '99), leftovers from dinner, amazing weather, hut croomember bleached his hair, 

8/14 Camped near 1866 (below treeline), summited Mt Washington just before an hour of rain, waited it out and then got some amazing views on the north half. Worked for breakfast at lake of the clouds hut.

8/15 camped just below Carter Notch Hut 1880, early windy climb to Madison, then down to pinkham notch, passed a car race going up Mt. Washington, shower, food, electrons, and nap at the pinkham visitor center, got leftover dinner from the hut


Cutting back to weeks ending with the weekend for consistancy. The white mountains were amazing, despite the tourists. Escaping the green tunnel was a special occasion for once or twice a day, and spending a whole day above treeline was a different level. I've started counting down miles until Katahdin, and I can feel the magnetism pulling me harder the closer I get. 

Maine here I come!
