Sleeping in the hut was not a restful night. Hikers cannot layout bedrolls until dining room shuts down at 9:30. But because of the 4th the cog train station did a fireworks show below at the bottom of the mountain so the dining room was busy until 10:00 watching the show from above. I was asleep by 10:30 up at 5:15 and on trail by 6:10. Hiked with “Papercut” and “Stitcher”. We were on top of Mt Washington by 7:00 got our pictures and off by 7:30. The rest of the day was hiking above treeline over the “Presidential Range”. The toughest mountain was Mt Madison which is extremely rocky (big rocks). The climb down was also difficult. Knees and ankles took a pounding today. I decided this afternoon that I would take a “zero” tomorrow to get ready for the final section in New Hampshire the “Wildcats Mountains”.
