Last Day in the Whites

We did a short day over the five Wildcat peaks today. Fortunately the rain held off. It was partly cloudy and really windy. We saw some cool views of Mt. Washington and the Presidentials, but the clouds never really lifted above them. 


We headed over to the Carter Notch Hut where we got ate lunch, got some 2 day old bread, and one of the crew members played the banjo for us. 


We met about 7 southbounders today. It's kind of weird to see other thru-hikers going the wrong direction. Also, my other trekking pole broke today. It got wedged in the ground and snapped. I guess the 1,500 miles put on it have weakened it. Hopefully I can get them fixed in Gorham tomorrow. 


Ayce went on to Gorham tonight to watch the Bruins, but Michael and I are here with Chino and a southbounder at Imp Shelter.
