39 Fearmongers exaggerated the Wildcats $ 2.00

I woke up with a very quiet forest. After the last days of cabin stays and the most large AMC camps populated by a large number of night hikers, it was a refreshing change to return to an empty camp.

I went to bed this morning waiting for Chestnut to catch up with his stay in Madison the night before. I read a book and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of Osgood.

Chestnut arrived around 8 am and said not through hikers asked about WFS in the cabin. A truly underutilized option for Thrus, which is safe.

Walking on the alternative

I packed quickly and then did something absolutely extraordinary. I opened my OPSAK food bag. Not to verify how much food I had. Really eat something. Of the bag. A bar It is true that it was a gifted bar for a day hiker, but still, it was a beginning. Let 60 GM really made the difference.

A bridge is in the next section of the path and there is a Blaze Blue alternative. The river that needs to be agreed is small, and it can be rocky when the conditions are favorable as they are today. However, we take the substitute for a couple of reasons. One, Chestnut needed to enter a nearby city to replace his broken phone and the Blaze Blue approaches the city and two blue blazes have been significantly better with respect to the land in whites.

So we go on the alternative path to the road. As expected, it was an easy -maintained easy path, a joy after the last days of rock jump. We went to the road early in the morning and took positions on the opposite sides of the road to hitch. Chestnut headed north to the city, and headed south to Pinkham Notch. My reason to get to the notch was double. One, make soup and bread for $ 2 for hikers in the restaurant (and I no longer like to eat my pack) and two, the Wildcats section of the AT starts from notch.

Pinkham Notch

I was collected five minutes away from hitting my thumb by a hiker of one day that also headed to notch. I had a puppy that decided that he liked my funky smell and happily sat on my lap for the short pitch in the AMC building. After saying my thanks, I told myself at the Visitors Center. The hiker box, of course, was full of free food, and looked at the offerings while shooking my head. Physically, I really can’t fit my food bag anymore, so after eating cookies and cheese of the box, reluctantly, I left the free replacement available.

I went to the restaurant and asked for my soup and bread of $ 2. One of the many wonderful things in the United States is his ability to call Chili with flesh a soup. The minced meat shakes, beans and tomatoes in a decidedly unpleasant way were accumulated in my bowl by the friendly restaurant staff topped by a large piece of bread.

Absolutely delicious. I used a fork to eat my soup (because you know, it’s not soup). I liquidated the little sauce that was left with my bread and then licked the bowl for the obvious delight of other restaurant customers.

The Montesses cats

Too soon, it was time to address the next section of the path. And what path. The Montesses cats. ‘The most steep mile on the entire path’. Read any blog about the Wildcats and instantly will be transported to your worst hiking nightmare. Impossible land combined with cliff as climbing. Super Technician. Never try in the rain. You will slip and fall constantly. Do not do it alone in case you need help. Allow enough time, since it will take most of the day. It is worth considering the alternative blue fire. Save your posts as you will need the four limbs.

Fearmongering is simply out of control for these 2 km to upload a small hill. The only other section that has it is the Mahosuc notch that is a little later on the road in neighboring Maine. If you read all your favorite forums and publications of social networks, I would not sleep the night before trying to ascend.

So it was a great emotion that left the visitors center after lunch in wet conditions to see what the entire uproar was.

The path begins by winding around a lake. He felt like a great lake for an Alce. And probably it is. Today, unfortunately, no alce was taking advantage of the great conditions of alces.

After a pleasant wandering along the lake, the climb begins. I really wanted to see how quickly I could lift the steep section and decided to go quickly.

As usual, the creation of trails was minimal and the maintenance of paths was established at zero. Fortunately, there were no points of view to distract me due to bad weather.

The climb was … well, more or less the same as most other climbs on whites. Poor land, which means you had to do every step. The occasional rock that had to go to all the stretch with the legs to climb. And rock slabs that require a good feet game and a decent grip (shout at Inov8, graphene soles are like Spiderman).

I needed to save my posts for a total of a minute on the climb, since there was a section of approximately five meters that required a pair of hands to stop. Apart from that, it was a standard steep walk. I kept a speed of 3 km/h throughout the section and soon I could enjoy the fruit of my work in the first point of view.

There were many more similar views along the top of the skiing station as it climbed and went down along Ridgeline. I will not bore you with the endless views.

The final cabin

Around 5 pm, I arrived at Carter Hut, the last one that passes in the whites. I asked him about WFS and, of course, there was a place for me. I relaxed in the comfort of the dining room and waited patiently for the guests to pay enjoy their dinner.

After the guests filled and dragged into their bunk beds, it was time to demonstrate my skills to eat. I feel that I am in the peak of my skill at this stage of the trip, and I think that the four pasta plates I consumed were an elegant way to show how far I have arrived in the last six weeks.

After dinner, the work section of my stay was to make an inventory of a small chest freezer that took ten minutes. Job made and the guests dispersed, I could extend my air mattress at 8:30 pm and fall into a deep sleep, dreaming about why people feel the need to exaggerate the difficulties of such a simple climb on a small hill.
