Presidential Traverse - September 5, 2015

Scott and completed the Presidential Traverse (Appalachia to Crawford Notch) on Saturday, September 5, 2015.  Some kind of hike.  Approx 23 miles over 14 hours w 9,000 feet of elevation gaine.  Enjoy the pics.

Nice night sleeping in the bed of Scott's truck.  Way more trucks driving along Rte 2 then expected.  Made 3:45 a.m. alarm a little less pleasant. 

 

Scott at the summit of Madison w Washington (a little past the 1/2 way point) way in the distance to the left. 



 

Looking into King Ravine - excited to ski over here next winter. 

 

Dramatic shot of Scott.

Dramatic shot of me.

Nice panorama.

 

On Mt. Clay, looking back from whence we came.

 

 

Also on Mt. Clay.  Looking forward to walking on those cog tracks after so much rock. 

 

Looking down Airplane.

No pictures from Summit - too much of a zoo. But Lake of the Clouds hut looked especially inviting!
