Trying to overcome the storm

Day 102-8 Miles Hoy Spring Camp Library from the Garfield Ridge refuge, 2900 feet higher, 2800 feet down, 1836 in Mile Marker

Attacks

The MAC caregiver had to pack the tents on the rickety platforms in Liberty Springs because we were many of us. I arrived early and prepared to go to bed for a kind of Nero.

A recent bear attack that went viral on social networks occurred here. There was a designated area to eat, wash the kitchen equipment and store food away from the store area.

More tents were established when the hikers arrived, but they lying me in my store and tried to sleep.

Starting the day

Last night he slept very well, apart from the launch and turn of my neighbors who share the store platform. I got up very early this morning at 3:30 in the morning and lay down for a while and then decided to pack and start.

The weather was supposed to become unpleasant today and there were several sections exposed on the tree line. In addition, the technical rock sections would be treacherous when they get wet.

Light on food

I packed and went to the food area to take my food bag and make my instant food for breakfast. I do not have much food selection, so my breakfast is such a simple coffee and the instant breakfast. I will probably lose a little weight through whites.

It is too important for me not to have to carry all this additional weight of food. I have enough calories, it’s just that I don’t feel like eating what I have.

In the food area I met several other hikers, including Rightty. Tad and his crew were also there. I also had to pack all the water I needed for the entire walk today. There are no water sources.

On the Nero path

I had an early start on the path at 6:00 am this morning. Until now I feel much better than yesterday. Yesterday I had a short walk even though it involved something technical and some elevation. I took it easy yesterday. I intentionally wanted to try to get a nero to rest a little.

Today it will also be a day of Nero. I have eight miles but eight miles in the whites means nothing. All miles depend on the technicism of the increases and descents.

Meeting

Yesterday, when I was at the water source, I saw someone I had not seen in a long time. Both surprised us to see each other. The last time I saw Raptor, she was in the bears hostel in the Russian mountain in Virginia.

I was surprised to see anyone who had traveled before this. She said she is from Maine of what her husband had to go to the hospital to be ahead. It was good to see someone from my original team.

Now, however, it seems that I am running with a different crew. It is good to see the same faces. We are all on the same mission. Most of us have the same mental state having gone through the same experiences for more than 1,800 miles.

Francia Ridge

It was a brief climb to the crest. It was non -technical and, like yesterday it was not so bad even though it was an steep climb.

On the crest of Franconia it began as a fairly level path. It is a bit covered, so this is obviously not a path that hikers of that day take here. The path then had a bit of technique at the climb by the Little Haystack mountain.

I put a look at the mountains before the storm clouds began to roll. It was then that we hit the Alpine area and things began to flatten a little.

Storm approaching

While walking along the crest, the storm that is approaching is to my left. To my right, part of the storm has reached the crest, but most of the storm seems that it still cannot reach the crest. I can see that the clouds are on the crest, circulate and then evaporan. It seems that the storm is trying to break through the crest.

Go ahead I can see Mount Lincoln and the column that the path travels to the top. I have to admit that it seems a bit intimidating from this point of view. I can see the right with its bright orange that uploads the crest to Mount Lincoln.

Tarnished in

When I arrived at the top of Mount Lincoln, the storm had completely wrapped the mountain. All views disappeared and the wind accelerated. Now it is a mile to Mount Lafayette.

Mount Lafayette was also tarnished with clouds. The clouds that would open enough to take a look at what would open enough to take a look at what would open enough to take a look at what could be enough to take a look at what could be enough to take a look at the fall of the fall. But not give it a complete understanding of where the fall ends, so it is a mystery.

The storm

It starts to get dark and the breeze became cooler. I continued walking through the Alpine area, I wasn’t sure where I was because it was very dark. The wind was trying to get me out of the mountain.

Then it began to rain, which made traveling a little slower, especially on the faces of the naked rock. It was intimidating.

Then, after the crossing, the path going down to Cloudland, the cabin, the path descended quite abruptly.

Challenging ascent

The path made their way out of the Alpine area and entering the fetus forest that sweet smell, although the trees were quite choicey only 15 feet high.

It’s not even 10:00 and I have 2.3 miles to get to the shelter. It will be interesting to see what time I get to the shelter. It seems that climbing Mount Garfield on the southern face will be very challenging.

I kept crossing the fetus forest up and down with some technical climbs when I was in sight of Mount Garfield. It is only 1.5 miles away, but it seems that it is 10 miles away. And it will be an infernal climb.

I arrived at the shelter when it began to rain heavier. Average rhythm of 1.3 mph.

It rained all afternoon and the shelter was filled with hikers. It was nice to be in my warm bag, resting and sleeping.
