Yeah! I had last year’s day 2 on my mind all day. If you don’t had was the day of my fall which ended my hike. I had plenty of opportunities for a repeat today but it was a good despite the weather. It rained all day with two large thunderstorms. The trail was a stream and because it has rained so much lately many of the walk boards are under water. I had to ford several high streams. Even without the weather this section of trail is tough. At times, the trail required all fours to climb the huge boulders going up to south kinsman peak. Today was one of the most physical hikes I’ve ever done. During the second thunderstorm I stopped in to see my first hut. These are like “The Hike Inn” in Georgia but there are many of them in the White Mtn. I saw a total of 5 people today so the trail was definitely not crowded.
Tomorrow I head out on trail and may not have phone service. My next town stop is the evening of July 4th. Happy Independence Day!
