Mt. Moosilauke destroyed me today. Anyone ever hiked down the North side? Beaver Brook Trail? Holy crap. Steep, slick, endless rock city. Thankfully I was forewarned and took it extra slow so I left enough time to wince in pain with each step. Made it to NH112/Kinsman Notch today up near Lincoln/North Woodstock, NH where I got picked up by Mom Dave & Kev to head over to Waterville Valley for the night with Mima and Papa! (Note: stuffed again). A few more peaks and Franconia Notch bound tomorrow to relive Freshman DOC Trips - rain and all. Maybe catch a glimpse of where the Old Man of the Mountain used to be before its collapse in 2003.
"Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades; shoe makers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but up in the Mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men." ~ Daniel Webster
