Hiked Pinkham Notch to Lake of the Clouds on Sunday, accidently missing summit of Mt. Washington. Summited Monday AM, but the Summit Stage would not sell me a 1 way down ticket as a single hiker, so I spent a wet day sliding down Tuckerman Ravine, which if possible, seemed steeper than the ascent of Mt. Madison from Osgood Tentsite.
Everything pretty much hurts. First real blisters, knees making crunching sound again, banged up knees and chin, sunburn, epic chafing, a few new bug bites, even my eyeballs hurt. But otherwise, a great hike!
Going to take a couple of days off, and hope that the heavy rain outside now does not turn what little soil there is on the Appalachian "Trail" in NH into impassible mud.
