Guyot shelter to Nauman Tentite

It’s not a bad scene to wake up, huh?

The camp was calm when I packed, stretched and made the slow steep climb through access to the path. It took me for half an hour to return to the AT. Reaching the highest point on Spur’s path, things became cold with a strong breeze blowing. However, the clear skies and the sun’s rays early in the morning were spectacular and had a complete view of Franconia’s crest and really the entire route that had walked yesterday.

That mountain horizon is yesterday’s route

Continuing north in the AT there was a brief blip up to 4,580 feet Mount Guyot, which would be the highest point of the day. Even that being the case, it was not enough to get out of the trees. They turned short and stunted, but then the path began to fall and the tunnel grew at a height of 25-30 feet tall again. The path was also muddy and humid in the flattest areas.

Then it was another problem of the Zealand mountain (4,260 feet), which was a slightly longer and more steep excursion than Guyot, but still nothing like yesterday’s increases. I took the short side path to the summit, but it was also a upper part full of trees without view.

Maybe a mile and a half ahead was somewhat listed in my map application as «Zeacliff». There I took the short side path and found some star views …

After this, things got more steep. When I got off the mountain, I watched when the trees grow again. First, they seemed in a range of around 30-50 high and then, where the currents were abundant and the elevation was around 2,600 feet, there were pines, birch and other deciduous trees with their 50 feet tops and above

Appearing at the opening against Zealand Falls Hut, there were a multitude of hung people. Some seemed to stretch and prepare to walk. He asked me inside and the tables were empty and the staff was sweeping. I asked if they were closed for cleaning and they told me that they did not follow a brief pause and then the question: «Are you through hiking?» After me, they asked another question … «Do you want a leftover breakf? And then I saw the eggs, pancakes and bacon scrambled on the table. That!? Can this be true? Tell me, can this be real? How can I express in words what I feel? (Yes, that was a wink to N’Sync).

After thanking and giving advice to the young people who attend to the Zealand Falls cabin, I walked around 9:00 am the following miles of trails were some of the slowest and most friendly for hundreds of miles. Even after reviewing my application to see that I was still in the AT, I doubted the eyes of mine thinking that it should rise or lower in a steep manner. Instead, Sandy Grave Trail was shaded with occasional views of the widest valley. The temp. It was perfect and was slotting.

Bluebs!? Or Hucks!?

The premium path lasted perhaps a mile or so. It remained flat for a way and then downhill, but sometimes it became muddy with rotten boards and peaks that stood out. In general, it was a good section to cover some land.

I arrived at Crawford Notch Road and the nearby Saco river for lunch. This was the low point at 1,250 feet. I soaked my feets in the river, but it was a bit deep to swim. It was a good break. Then, I had to be pumped to ascend. He would return to 4,000 feet again and the elevation profile seemed steep.

It started well. This seems to be how it goes, gentle to start and then with very little transition, haha. Near the top of the Mount Webster was a bit of a lonely without a backpack and my alter ego Stevie Lou Freebush came out.

On my 2019 PCT trip, Calzone and Cheer and I created a series of ridiculous videos and Solo’ing Stevie Lou Freebush. «He is beauty and it is grace … grab and tear it!»

Stevie Lou is leading the way and pushing the limits in the world of free solo backpack. Born in the Pacific Crest Trail with the friends of Hiking Calzone and Cheer, it leaves from time to time when things get difficult.

Webster Summit

After Webster was a flat swampy things before hitting 4,052 feet, Mount Jackson. It is a bit strange to have all the wet things of Mucky at the top of the elevation for some reason.

I wasn’t sure, but I thought I had seen a mounting washington!

A few more miles and I found the spring cabin of Mizpah. It was a place of succession with all the tables and banks full of hikers. None seemed to be through those who could say it, but I imagine some in the attempt to reserve a stay in a cabin when passing through the whites. A little expensive for me in this round and, honestly, everyone could be reserved and require early reserves. However, they were not afraid, I was just entering to fill with water and planned to go to neighboring Tintsite Nauman anyway.

At first, the caregiver of the site was out, so I went to prepare dinner immediately. And I found other bamboo hikers and Sakura there! They are Japanese and really had two friends from home who joined today for a few days. I had a good time talking and having dinner with them. We all thought it was comic how I was using my Japanese ramen noodles … mixed with mashed potatoes and tuna with flavor haha.

Finally, Sofia, the Tentsite host appeared and realized that I had met her on the way before. I had been in a super walk for the day, but once behind it installed me on the highest tents platform. Another great day in the white mountains!
