White Mountain Guide Day Ten

Today was hard. Because of the weather, I’ve had to move around some of the hikes that I have planned for July which meant today I had to tackle Daniel Webster Scout Trail. In August, 2020, I called my primary care doctor from this trail, essentially setting off the chain of events that lead to a cancer diagnosis. In the past, this trail hasn’t felt like a place that would elicit anxiety or fear in me, but I was dreading the hike from the moment I realized I was going to be doing it. There were a few times I really wanted to turn around and come back another day, but where would that get me? Nowhere. So I did what I know how to do, I persevered. Now I can move on and focus on the next hike. This hike wasn’t fun and I don’t really want to reflect on it anymore right now.
