Been Walking My Mind to an Easy Time

My back turned towards the sun...

So Northward, ho from here. I'll start tomorrow from Lyme-Dorchester Rd. near the Dartmouth Skiway and just might be Moosilauke-bound by the end of the day. Possible stay at the Ravine Lodge, not sure yet. I've been hiking alone through familiar territory this past week- with determination, reflection and a little peace of mind. Greenlite and I have decided after being on the rocks for a bit that our relationship out here just isn't going to work out and we're hiking our own hikes for a few days before reuniting as friends to finish what we started and tackle the Whites. The Trail is a great leveling agent - picks you up, knocks you down, makes you feel naive, makes you feel wise beyond your years, makes you confident over rocks and wildlife, makes you bow to nature, makes you turn inward and dig deep when it's you against the mountain...and then the next mountain, and then the next... silly trail.
