Left the hut early today to avoid a potential storm coming our way. A quick 1.5 miles from Lakes of the Clouds Hut we summited Mt. Washington. Apparently you can see the ocean from up here, on a clear day. For us, we could barely see 10-15 feet in front of us. Easily the worst visibility we have had on the trip thus far.
The harsh elements we were exposed to actually made me fear for my life for the first time on the trip. It wasn't the bears in SNP or the rattlesnakes in Virginia but the raging 50mph winds over Mt. Washington that had me worried about craping my pants.
Upon arriving at Pinkham Notch we were faced with a 10 mile hitch in to Gorham, NH. After brainstorming different ideas for our cardboard sign, Sweet Tea suggests "WWJD." It worked flawlessly.
