Yes, the end is near. I thought Whiteface was bad, and it was because it was subcontinent, rainforest hot. Owls Head was a wonderful walk through the Pemi Wilderness. Then came the scree laden slide of death swarming with black flies and blowdowns. But, it was still a walk in the Pemi, and we know how much I love the Pemi.

So now there are 3. Passaconaway. Isolation. And finally Cabot. Then it will be over. My NH48 will be complete. Of course, I will redo some. The Cats from Pinkham. Franconia Ridge. A Presi traverse, or semi Presi. The Carters on a bluebird day. Gridding Tecumseh and maybe Pierce. Moosilauke is still needed for July (AT miles). Trail magic hike. And of course, a Pemi Loop. I have to do a Pemi Loop. However, I have to find 4 great days. See the freedom finishing the 48 affords you?
And I just found out I got picked as an alternate for a colloquium on Calvin Coolidge. You know what that means...reading a huge packet of readings. :) But also, the LONG TRAIL. And more AT miles. It's conveniently located in Killington, so a VT 4K, LT/AT miles, and learning. Trifecta. OH and I think the Leonids are peaking then too. August will be awesome. No, it will be in tents.
This last week has been good. And I am wallowing in it for as long as I can. The future looks hard, but I have this. Now about those 2 mountains I have 48 hours to complete...
