Day Seventy-Four  

Today I woke up late and ended up doing a loop that I did back when I was in treatment - Carter Ledge and Middle Sister Trail. I went the opposite direction that I did this loop last time, taking Carter Ledge up and Middle Sister down. It was icy once I got to the ledges on Carter Ledge and on the final stretch to the summit of Middle Sister I wore my spikes. You will need spikes if you’re doing this trail to the summit because the ice is unavoidable. Overall, I enjoyed today. It was warmer than the last few hikes and there was no snow for a large majority of the day. I tried to remind myself that these moments with no snow are numbered, that I should savor them while they last, and I did just that.
