White Mountain Guide Day 45

I’ve done this hike before, back in 2020, and today the weather reminded me a lot of fall. The winds were cool against my skin, and relentless on the roadwalk back to my car after descending Mt. Meader Trail. I’ve become much more inward focused on the last two hikes and I am seeing that becoming the trend going forward. Rather than writing summaries that feel, to be honest, pointless and generic, I am hoping that as I continue on this journey I will discover a way to articulate myself in a more artistic manner regarding my hikes. My GPS was acting up again on this hike, and the loop looks funny which is annoying and the elevation is way off (it says that I hiked over 4,000’ of elevation, when I did less than 3,000’).
