I left the Hut early. Again the wind was gusting over 40 mph. There were times I just had to stand still. Facing the wind. Leaning into my poles which were on the rocks. This picture is messed up because the wind was jiggling the phone so badly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The traverse was a multi mile rock\/boulder field. Each step I had to watch where my poles and feet were placed. I followed cairns miles after miles. It took me hours. It was exhausting. In 5 hours I climbed and descended only 3 miles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I needed a break. So once I got below tree level and out of the wind I called a local hostel in Gorham NH. Tomorrow I\u2019ll be taking a zero day. I need a respite from the mountains to get my head straight. On the way down I hiked with Little Engine. I met her a day ago at Madison Hut. Her bright spirit helped me. She was going to the Rattle River Hostel and I asked if she would mind if I too went there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the hostel I took another foot picture. I\u2019m about to lose toenails on my right foot on the two toes next to my big toe. That\u2019ll be nails 4 and 5. And that\u2019s with my new Oboz hiking shoes. Sheesh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
