AT Day 103: Reunited pt 2

Every day is such a gift out here. Morning miles with Stretch, starting with primetime views off south twin and guyot. Enjoyed our only flat miles for awhile on the Ethan Pond trail and said goodbye atfter hot dogs trail magic at route 302 so he can attempt a full AT presi tomorrow. Nasty little thunderstorm rolled in while coming out of 302 but passed quickly. Climb up Webster Cliffs was way more difficult than I recalled. Real foggy rest of the day and low vis once past pierce, but I was deliriously happy, scaring all the day hikers, once I got onto Pierce/Crawford Path. This range is the spot that made me fall in love with hiking. So happy to be here

This was a big boy day in the whites for me. Feeling amazing physically, mentally, and spiritually last few days. Something shifted for me up here. Never got tired today. Accidentally ended up with 2.5lbs of jerky in my pack a couple days ago which may be my new secret sauce. 

Section hikers stole all 4 work for stays (should be illegal) at LOTC, so me, Forrest, and wingit were sent to the “dungeon” which is a winter safety basement under the hut. Kinda cozy down here though, I got to chill at the lake for a bit, I’m calling myself the dungeonmaster, and we still got to eat the leftover turkey dinner. Perfect weather in the forecast for the rest of the presi tomorrow morning…feels like I am nailing the Whites AT logistically. 

ALSO - ran into another guy Matt Moschella attempting the WM100 unsupported at lotc hut. He looked so wet and grizzled that I assumed he was a thru hiker, so struck up a conversation, and turns out he’s out here to try to take commando’s record already. What a cool few days to be on this route.
