Weather: afternoon/evening rain
Today's Hike:
Pinkham Notch to Gorham, NH - 21.1 miles
Today we slackpacked the last 21 miles in the White Mountains. It was a hard day, but a fun one. We climbed over Wildcat Mountain in the morning and I was thankful to be doing it without a full pack. The rain held off till lunch time where we dipped into Carter Hut for some hot potato dill soup and crackers.
After filling our bellies (maybe a little to full?) we headed out to tackle the Carter Range. If the climb wasn't hard enough we had the added challenge of making it through it in a thunderstorm. Good times. As we neared dinner time we were summitting Mt. Morhiah, the last mountain in the Whites. We finished around 10:30pm , tired, wet, and exhausted but feeling like a total bad- ass.
