These are hard to get on "film". Everything was just right. Including the shity weather and me being there.
I was in a cloud most of this day. It looks worse than it was. I had a blast this day.
That's Chet. Great dude! He lets hikers slack pack out of his house for donations.
Hikes in the garage/hostel.
My shoes in rough shape! But surviving! Freesole is keeping them going.
#1!
It took an hour to get this hitch back to the trail.
Mt Laffayette. Great day!!!! Couldn't se a thing!
Hard to see here but there's nothing to walk on behind me.
Lots of rocks to walk over today.
Stealth camping in the whites. Not a lot of these spots. Everywhere else is rocks, trees and moist moist moss.
A break in a cloud.
And on my left...WAVES OF MTS.
This view deserved a good long stare. Horrible photo. Does it no justice.
Chiquita was trigger happy with my camera. I was enjoying a cup of hot chocolate. Summer ended for me up there. The cold never left me.
"Harke!!! A mountain!"
Yep. Lots of mud up here. This is nothing. Nothing.
Coming up to Lakes of the Clouds hut, just before Nt. Washington.
One of the lakes of the clouds.
Oh hell! Guess ill take my chances!
Looking back at the hut. That's only 1.6 away!
Still #1!
Thru hikers had to wait for 90 people to be done eating before we could. And we still had to work for the chow. It wasn't hard work. Pretty much the chores of the hut crew.
Outside the hut. Nice sunset. I didn't get too many.
Leftovers. Mmmmmmm
And then we got to sleep on the floor inside the hut! It wassooooooo cold up there! It was nice to not sleep in wind!
This crazy dude slac packed three people who slac packing!!!! They payed for it too!!!
More leftovers! Couldn't get enough.
The kitchen at Lakes.
This crazy ran down Washington! It was bitter cold and I don't think he packed his thermals.
That's LOL and her new fiancée. He popped the question on the summit. She said yes. So cute.
The cog rail. One can pay a lot of money to get to the top. Lazy people.
The trail crosses the line.
Descending Washington. With presidential mountains in the back.
Awesome cloud!!!!!!
Mt. Madison gave us coffee and sent us on our way-- up a giant mountain during 60 mile winds. Took us four hours to walk 4.3 miles
On the way carter notch hut!!!
Only people were thru hikers! Great people here! The crew treated us great! They ren out of food so they made more! Just for us!!!
And then breakfast in the morning. Pancakes and bacon!! Oh and coffee!
Woke up here. After two huge thunder storms.
