White Mountains Guide Day Twenty-Six

Today I almost turned around after the first mile because of the rain. Going above treeline in the rain just doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t imagine it appeals to many people, to be honest. But after trying to come up with an alternative hike to do from the trail with limited cell phone service (because I had to hike) I found myself almost subconsciously turning uphill and continuing forward. I’m thankful that I did, because although I spent the whole day in the clouds, and it was misty off and on all day, I was drier than I’ve been in days. The humidity has been really bad and I was thankful for a less humid day.
