———-
Pretty relaxing day today. I finished the White Mountains of NH!! The course wasn’t too bad compared to the past couple weeks. A climb up Mt Moriah to start the morning, followed by a long descent over 3,000’. I got into the Hostal right at 10:30am. I was able to shower, get my laundry started, and get some food before noon. Today was effectively a Nero - ready to start the next push into Maine as strong as possible.
We took an afternoon trip to Walmart - Sam, Granger, and I. I then just lounged around watching a movie and snacking for several hours. The Hostal was really low key today. Nobody around for most of the day. As I write this blog in the bunk room - not a soul is here (there is clothing and gear on a few bunks - so I expect some people to come in later - not sure where they’re at now)
20 mountain peaks in the White Mountains. I wanted to list them in order of completion. (Note - the actual peak of Mt Moriah today wasn’t labeled real clearly - so I was off 50 ft or so).

Tomorrow will be a huge milestone - as I go over the 1900 mile marker - and under 300 miles remaining on my journey. I’ll be starting with a super heavy pack - as I still had quite a bit of food left before my resupply box showed up on Monday.
Here’s to staying strong and healthy! Goodnight from NH - just 17 miles to the Maine border.
