Day 152: Kinsman and 1800

We just got our asses handed to us. Wow. Soo steep. 12 hours of hiking got us only 12 miles . From the first climb every single section was challenging. No steady ups. No steady downs. All steep. All rocky. A lot of it kinda dangerous.

We got to the campsite, which charges 8 bucks a person, and got water hoping to find stealth sites .5 miles farther. But it was getting dark. And that .5 was just as steep a down. We did end up finding a spot. But with rumours of a 600 lbs black bear in the area of Franconia Notch that likes to steal hiker food we were worried about the less than awesome bear bagging we had to settle for.

Yikes. I don't know if we are going to be able to even hike 12 miles a day up here.


Oh yeah.  We made it to the 1800 mile mark!
