Purposely getting lost on accident

Black Mountain

A day that will live rent free in my head for the foreseeable future. My original goal was to out and back the peaks not included along the AT. Potential thunderstorms were forecasted from noon to 6 so I used my better judgement and stuck to the white blazes to have the best chance of going the distance. Around Jefferson, the fog started to lift and blue skies came out to play. Consecutive days with the running vest has given me wings. An all around spectacular day to be alive.

Was on mental autopilot in the Great Gulf and ran up on a big ol momma moose with her calf. Got way too close, took some calm steps back, put myself behind some thick trees and hoped for the best. Ended up bushwhacking around them to get the hell outta dodge. Best day of hiking in 1890 miles, to no one’s surprise that fansies the Presi’s. The most beautiful mountain range in the world 

Side note: it’s impressive how consistently awful the oatmeal is that they serve (give away for free) at the huts. Still had 3 generous portions between each hut

Sider note: a new pair of Tomir’s hits so different on slick rock. Shit had me feeling like Ronaldinho with major league cleats. Unmatched tread

Body doesn’t feel like this hiking down south, that’s for sure. Taking a hard zero tomorrow to spend the day with my family in Lincoln
