What. A. Day. Passed three huts. Climbed Mt. Washington. Climbed Mt. Madison. Night hiked on a ridge. Did about 15 miles. Waved at the people riding the Cog, and a little boy gave us a thumbs down. Mt. Washington was crazy busy. Waiting line for the summit sign. Pizza. Mt. Madison was epic. EPIC. Mount Doom. Rohan. Awesomeness with the clouds crashing over the peak. The sun was setting and Mt. Washington and Mt. Adams were appearing and disappearing into the sky. Unbelievably incredible. Still cannot believe what good weather we had today. So thankful. God is good. Cool stealth spot tonight just below treeline. Had to walk a narrow little path into the woods to a tiny clearing just big enough for our tents. Pinkles Notch tomorrow!

This moment of watching the sunset while on the summit of Mt. Madison with waves of clouds breaking over the rocks around us... one of the coolest moments of my life.
I remember how we all prayed for great weather and God so faithfully heard and answered!
