LAST PICTURES

Endless mountains...


























Another mushroom


























White Mountains


























Flicka and the mountains


























Blue ridges


























Brian with Mt Washington behind him (miles back)


























Mt Washington in a cloud...


























The first white blaze Brian ever passed 10 years ago...


























Heather with Washington far behind (mountain with the towers on top)


























Trail junction


























Crawford Path (oldest hiking path used in America - 1819)


























Lakes of the Clouds Hut (bottom right) and the trail winding its way through the mountains


























Lake below Washington summit


























Heather excited to be on top of Mt Washington (or that we're eating real food)


























Golden alpine grasses on the ridge


























Sunset


























Perfect sunset our last night in the woods


























Rocky ridges























Goodbye Sun...

























...Hello Moon


























Full Moon rising...
























Red skies at night... hikers delight


























Lakes of the Clouds Hut under Mt Washington summit



























Moon in the mist...


























Heather at the summit (85 mph winds so standing was an accomplishment)



































Moon and a lenticular cloud from the ridge


























Back home...

Rockin' the foo man chu


























Say goodbye to the beard!  So sad...

  2. Amazing pictures DLL and Flicka! I met you two at REI in Carle Place before your trip. I followed the blogs throughout the summer. "The trail gives and the trail takes away." Sounds like an amazing adventure for you two. So what's next? Continue north or going to flop at Harpers Ferry maybe, Springer?
