Entered the White Mountain National Forest this week. “The Whites” are known to be challenging. Hiked for 14 hours today to cover 17 miles and get up and over Mount Moosilauke (a 4000 foot climb). First time I’ve been above the tree line in New England

Scored some more chanterelles:

And some other non edible mushrooms

A few other noteworthy moments:

Romani coming down the very steep descent from the summit of Moosilauke

A house on the way to the hostel:

We actually saw a moose near the summit of Moosilauke. She looked kind of thin, so I’m not sure she was healthy.

Very tired after a big day,
