Pre-Hike
So... less than one week to go! It's been over a year since we hit the trail and both of us are itchin' to take the first steps of Section Hike #35 from Crawford Notch.
The plan is in place. All we need is for September 1st to arrive. We opted for leaving our vehicle at the Rattle River Hostel in Gorham and getting a shuttle down to Crawford Notch on the morning of the 1st.
Sunday September 1st - Mizpah Spring Hut
Monday September 2nd (Labor Day) - Lake of the Clouds Hut
Tuesday September 3rd - Madison Spring Hut
Wednesday September 4th (my 55th birthday) - Joe Dodge Lodge
Thursday September 5th - Carter Notch Hut
Friday September 6th - Route 2 / Gorham NH
Other than the last day, the scheduled mileage is pretty light. All that's left to do is check the forecast and finish loading the pack. Long range forecast is for 30's & 40's at the summits.
