White MTN: Walk among the presidents (ECT 192)

«Your love, getting higher

Of what I have been raised before

Turn off my desire

And I will be by your side

For ever and ever

You know your love

Keep getting up

Upper and higher «

5:10 am – the alarm sounded. I made my routine a bit different since my food was low in the bear locker. Instead of going to recover it and go up again (it was a short way), I packed everything next to the store and then moved down to do the final organization. I had my pop -flavored pop -tasting popcart while throwing things in my backpack. Several others were cooking what looked mainly on Avena and Café.

5:47 AM – I finished my stretch and said a quiet «Happy Paths.» When I left the camp, I went through the Mizpah cabin and found where the path continued. It was a steep rock and rock slab. The weather was the best, quiet, bright and open sun. The birds sang aloud in the camp, but as the sounds rose more that stood out more were my heart beaten and sucking and leaving the air, chirroned with my backpack, rubbing the clothes and the grip and the sliding of my shoes underneath.

Things were leveled after less than half a mile and, as has been the trend, the flattest land brought mud and maritime walks.

6:08 AM – I had my first landslide, but I was surprised to fall. The path began to rise, but gradual. Then, ten minutes later, I arrived at the mostly blocked mount of the trees at 4,310 feet high. Continuing, there was an open view of what was ahead. The photo is blinded by the sun, but I could see everything clear. It was practically alpine in the future, so I had seen without stopping.

I decided to make the lateral trip to the top of Mount Eisenhower. It was a steep path but well maintained.

7:08 am – I arrived at the top of Eisenhower, which had a flat circular area with 360 degree views.

Great extension

You will get some points docked for the gap between the knees

But impeccable disassembly. And look at that smile!

I decided to omit Monroe’s alternative and stay in the AT. I admit that I was a little exhausted after the exercise of the high lifting floor. And I was happy with my choice because the path was beautiful and flat and simply pleasant. I wrapped the peak instead of again and again and then obtained a view of the famous Lakes of the Mountain Mountain Club of the Cloud Cabaña!

Looking back, the best biggest round is Eisenhower

Lakes of the clouds hut

At the foot of Mount Washington, it is easy to see why this is such a popular place. When I entered, all the people were going to start the walks after the end of breakfast. I asked him about getting my well -baked good (this comes with the pass through Hiker) and they told me that if I do not care about fifteen or twenty minutes, they will take out the leftovers. Hot Dag, I thought, that sounded lovely.

I left for more than an hour and finally asked if they were going to put some food. I guess they forgot and there really wasn’t much, a bowl of scrambled eggs. For most, it could have seemed like a sad bowl of cold scrass, but I was still excited about that. In addition, in all that time waiting, I had coffee in a real cup and I could talk to a good couple who had a guide company of Monte Kilimanjaro. Through the children, Pony Boy and Swamp Foot also appeared and it was fun to see them again. It was nice.

However, still hungry, I made oatmers outside and finally started. I didn’t see myself two hours, but well, they are the lakes of the clouds. I have to give him some time, right? And I had a great climb ahead, so I was not very interested in going with that. However, it was not so bad … These parts of the path that are so well traveled are actually remained haha.

«The worst climate in the United States.» Not so much today haha

Looking back. Can you see the cabin?

The Cairns have super white rocks at the top.

Many things was happening at the top of Mount Washington

I have a sitting adirondack chair

Mountain Washington is New Hampshire’s highest mountain at 6,288 feet high. There is a train that takes visitors to the top and I think a car road, although they were not sure where they parked because I didn’t see any car. There was a cafeteria and a post office and a tourist line to obtain a photo with the summit sign. It happened to me in the row just behind Bamboo and Sakura and his friends, so when the turn came, I just asked if they wanted to do a group shot.

He had only walked around 6 miles in approximately 6 hours. Feeling the pull to do scooting, I put on my backpack and started. Unfortunately, a way ahead, I realized that I did not check the water situation ahead. It was scarce and should have filled me in the cafeteria area. However, I was not going back to that and I told myself that I would ration. And I did so. And I changed it not to take a lunch to sit today, but only snacks and continue moving.

The Picos Camino below was placed under the glorious sun …

Still near Washington, the path crossed the roads for the COG rail and I was able to witness the four bright colors that came down. Interior people greeted and seemed to have a cheerful time …

Today I had the opportunity to divide the AT to upload a nearby beak through a side path. In the future there were even more opportunities for this. I skipped the first, Mount Clay, choosing to avoid it and remain in the AT. But the next, Mount Jefferson, I got on the top. According to Farout, it is the highest third in New Hampshire at 5.712 feet of elevation …

The elusive martiodrilus crassus, also known as the Rainbow worm Franconia … is only known among the elevations of 5,500-5,555 feet in the white mountains of New Hampshire.

The next was Mount Adams, the second highest in New Hampshire with 5,774 feet. I thought I would do one thing and get the three best. However, my water situation did not look good and when I approached the limit for Adams, I made the decision to go directly to the next cabin. However, just then, I found a small drip flow, so the problem was avoided. From now on to the top!

Look, this is what these alternatives look for on the map. My purple marking is the route I took

The only one on the right is Mount Adams, I think

This was the «path» to the top. Actually, it’s just a series of cairns and choose your own adventure on how you get up

Michael Edwards «Eddie The Eagle» – 2:45 pm at the top of Mount Adams

There were two or three groups of hikers at the top with me. And, back to Jeffy, there were also some. People were probably curious about what I was doing with my timed photos. Probably everyone is curious, why? Yes, I don’t know. When he hits inspiration, he doesn’t question him haha.

First view of Madison’s spring cabin. I was hidden in the low area between Adams and Madison

I stopped and obtained my free soup! The creamy tomato was excellent and I stayed longer than I had planned again. I think it could have been an hour and a half or more. The weather was so good today that I was not worried about getting up and about the last peak or anything. Instead, I tried to convince myself that if I arrived at the afternoon camp today it was fine. No problem. Get carried away. I know the mountain you want to climb.

5:00 pm – I started walking again with Mountain Madison that is coming above me. It was an steep fight following Cairns again, but I felt strong. Maybe there was some super food strength from the soup?

Sumi «doing the sumi» – 5:21 pm at the top of Mount Madison

Up to this point I had a wonderful day. I think that probably appeared in this novel of a publication (my apologies for the extreme length of this). However, descending to Madison was a fight and I felt more than a little frustrated with the designers and maintainers of trails. Well, I should make clear, not the real people who do the work of trails because they are first -class people and I have great respect for everything they do! I have the feeling that this is more a management decision not to put time and resources to try to maintain such a resistant section.

To tell the truth, there is no trace of Madison. Like the road up, it is only a chain of mojones that are difficult to see sometimes and regardless of them, among them there is a confused field of irregular rocks. It is crazy and is dangerous. However, I am wandering.

I eventually arrived at the Osgood camp and found a wooden platform to configure. It could have been around 7:00 pm. There was no host in this. I had the feeling that I had left behind the popular parts of the whites and this corner is neglected. However, I met the spider of the hiker in the section and we talked a little before filling my face, hiding all the smelly items in the storage locker and fighting inside the store. Another exhausting day but undeniably incredible!
