Day 97 - The Whites!

August 20 - Ore Hill Shelter to Lincoln, NH - 17.0 miles

Finally! The day has come, after weeks and weeks of anticipation. We have entered... the Whites!

Our first climb in the Whites is Mt. Moosilauke (4,802 ft), one of the longest climbs at 3.9 miles, from the base to the summit. It took us only 86 minutes.


Homemade block of caramel from Laura. I wish I had more.


The descent was not as easy though. We had to use rebar (short for reinforcing bar) to climb through some treacherous spots.

Found lodging at Chet's place tonight, with about 20 other hikers. Chet is an outstanding guy, opening his home to hikers and building bunks in an extension of his garage.
