321.4 down, 1864.5 to go
Our first wedding anniversary is one month from today! We cannot believe how fast it has gone by, this first year. We are so excited to celebrate it on the trail. We are planning on zeroing at a bed and breakfast, hoping to plan it just right. Not sure where we will be in a month so that's the challenge. We will get some dinner, maybe enjoy some champagne, the longest shower of our lives with the strongest soap we can find and uh, maybe let what uh, happens happens. Ha!
On a not so private note, we haven't seen Floss this morning, wondering if he is ahead of us. Another hiker told us that Between Wildcat D and E, there was trail magic, but they were leaving at 5. It was 4:20, we booked it from Wildcat C and made it just in time! Soda, candy bars, chips, cookies, bananas and oranges galore! We were in heaven. And, to top it off, the people had to leave and didn't want to take anything so we were able to pack some goodies. There was a NoBo, MagicScout, who had all of "Oh, The Places You'll Go" written on paper and was recording hikers reading a line. He recorded us with Mt. Washington in the background. We will post a link when he puts it all together. What a cool project.
We hiked down to Pinkham Notch and were looking for a stealth site. By this time, it was dusk and getting darker. We were told there were great sites in the area. We kept going and didn't find any. Eventually we found one. It was dark, our first time hiking in the dark. Half eerie, "is that branch up there a moose waiting to attack us?" half really fun. We pitched the tent and thanks to the trail magic a few hours earlier, we didn't need to make dinner. No sign of Floss. Hitting thePresidential tomorrow!
Love it!! I wish we lived closer to the Oct so we could leave trail magic.
