Day 35 - Hut Life (remix) (5/8/2016)

I'm exhausted. Once again sharing sleeping quarters has meant virtually no sleep. I left too early to get leftover breakfast too, so I just summitted Mt Monroe for a bite to eat. It was a nice, quiet setting.

PB & J, summit style

I set out for Mispah hut for second breakfast leftovers only to find that they had done their jobs too well and there was nothing for me but a slice of bread, unbuttered. Life is hell. I then set out to stealth camp near Crawford Notch, only to find no camping available outside the official sites. $10 poorer, I'm finally in bed.

I'm cranky, but today wasn't all bad. Positives:

1. I met some more day hikers who were really impressed, incl. a group from Chicago who wanted photos.
2. I saw another moose! Ethan, who lives on Ethan Pond is the closest I've been to a moose that still allowed me to take photos.
3. I made an amazing tuna pesto pasta dish for dinner. Glad to add that to my menu.

Start: Lakes of the Clouds

End: Ethan Pond
