Day 111

I took seven days off from hiking before hitting Cannon today. It was nice to have time off. It was nice not to be stressing about getting the hikes done. Or watching the weather and trail reports constantly praying that the snow would melt so I could hit the AT west of Moosilauke (as I had planned for the week). Moving all my hikes from March to the summer was a huge relief. Any hike I do this month is just one more I can take off the summer calendar and one more chance at doing the rest of the 100 highest peaks as I had planned for this project. Cannon was harder than I remember. I haven’t done Hi Cannon Trail in a few years and forgot how steep it was. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do most of the Pemi Trail because it was so windblown and completely unbroken after the first bridge on the lake that I bailed onto the bike path. I’ll finish the last mile and a half in the summer. Overall, it was a really pretty day.
