Day 26: Gat and Madison diversion

I did not sleep well on the floor of the dining room, but it is fine, since we had a quick package of our belongings without tent to establish or break down. Breakfast would not be served until 7 in the morning, and we couldn’t eat until everyone finishes, so we took some of the baked products of a day and were on the way. The pumpkin, the walnut, the chocolate sparks and a cup of coffee were the perfect breakfast.

It’s true. We decided to take the diversion sanctioned around the Wildcat mountain range. The weather forecast continued to bounce between .65 «of rain and much less. There is a bridge that is in the west branch of the Peabody River, and our lake diversion would ensure that we do not have to risk with high water. However, nobles approaches the bridge of 0.8 miles after the detour and can better evaluate its ability to cross much without much.

This detour was so comfortable. It was the flattest and most soft land we have had in days. We crush the detour in not long. Along the way, we met a very friendly Pomeranian named Gilligan and her mother. He was 8 years old but looked like a puppy.

We reached the end of the detour around 10:30 am this led us to the base of Mount Madison. Our goal was to make this considerable ancestry, redeem our cabin card through a little free soup and baked products, and then go camping for a spur trace.

The climb was long and steep, and finally we did it above the tree line. Finally we obtained forefront views of Mount Washington, and was spectacular.

We sat down in this place for a few minutes before the wind began to collect. To prevent them from cooling us, we decided to continue moving. There are still snow and ice pockets in the next mountains. It was not far from Madison’s summit, but we took our time, taking everything in 360 degrees of mountains. Incredible.

We did some Rocky Ridge walking when rain and hail began. The ground was still warm, so hail melted immediately after impact. We adapt in our matching rain jackets to continue.

Mount Washington has some of the most unpredictable and extreme weather in the east.

Nick moved faster than me. Adjust my trekking posts to allow more contact points while I moved on the loose rock. The last thing I need is a tobricate ankle in presidential.

Finally, we achieved Mount Madison. It was a continuation of Rocky Ridge in which we had been during the last mile, so there is no exact prominence.

Only half a mile of the cabin now! Everything went down from here, so I kept taking it calmly. My knees have not been doing terribly, but they do not love the extremes that have been our option lately.

Finally, Madison Spring Hut appeared in sight. It is great to see these rustic structures in the middle of the forest. I discovered that helicopter supplies fly twice a year, and have to walk/wear anything else they need throughout the year.

Redeems a soup bowl and a dough. It was potato soup and dill, not the best I’ve had, but it was warm and free. Coffee cake for dessert, although he had just finished a honey bun, not long ago. Empty calories don’t make me feel the best.

We sat in the cabin for about an hour before returning home at night. It is good to have these little luxuries, such as being able to sit inside a little.

We would have asked for a work for stay, but after last night and we would not lie down until after 10, we decided to take the stimulus 0.6 miles downhill to a tent site.

We had a very slow night, jumping in our beds to sleep before 7. It would be a cold night here, so we made sure to group.

Tomorrow is the rest of the presidential traverse. We have the hope of good weather!
