Alright, less than 400 miles to go. And now we are finally getting some serious climbs with some gloomier weather. It’s like the Smokies all over again!

We got an early start today and made good time for the first half of the day, but we has to ford a river, so we took a break to dry our feet out. It worked fairly well, but the air has been consistently wet for a while.

The climb up the mountain was slow and tough, but it was also exciting. It’s good to feel the power of the mountains again, and I am excited about entering the White Mountains. We shall see what tomorrow brings!
