Today we have begun the White Mountains! It is a beautiful day :) We gained a crap ton of elevation this morning and it is cool and breezy up here.
We are having lunch at a shelter and then we have 8 more miles to get to Carter Notch Hut, where we will try to do a work-for-stay because otherwise staying at huts in the Whites costs an astounding $100 per night. We are pretty likely to be able to do this because we are girls, most people say. Brookie and Chip will be stealth camping half a mile away or so but we can't because we didn't bring our hammock and tents. The Whites are complicated and difficult mostly because they are crowded and expensive and places you can stay are limited. But so far they are also unbelievably beautiful. Weather could be an issue. Get after it!

what happened to your hammock and tent?? A month already...wow!! Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteWe left the hammock and tent at our hostel in Gorham, along with our stoves and other non- essentials. It's called slackpacking when you can figure out how to get rides and not carry all your stuff for short periods of time :)
ReplyDeleteWhen and how will you get your tents/hammocks/stoves back?
