White Mountains Guide Day Twenty-Five

Today I was not feeling well. Both physically and mentally I was off. My brain felt like it was stuck in a fog most of the day and I felt kind of just sick all over. For the first thirty minutes of my hike it rained but then it started to clear up and by the time I reached the view on Pine Mountain the sun was out. It was another muggy day, and I was drenched in sweat after just five miles of hiking. I chose to break this hike up into two pieces, driving between trailheads, and although I ended up climbing 2600’ in eight miles, it felt like nothing. I love that feeling.
