Mt. Washington

This past week 5 guys from church (2 teens, three adults) went up to the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. It was a beautiful drive with very little traffice and excellent scenery. As we were about to cross from Vermont to NH we realized we were only a half hour from Quebec. That's pretty cool eh? Hillary needs to get her passport, but we would like to head up into Canada next year.

Here are the low points:

-rain fly on Jarrett's tent did not perform well, leading to a wet sleeping bag

-two of those coming arrived late (next morning) because of low gas/getting a little lost, I woke up a few times to shine my flash light out of the tent to see if they were there and saw nothing. I kept telling myself they were sleeping out somewhere, which was true

Here are the high points:

-the White Mountains are beautiful

-it was an intense hike and 4 out of the 5 made it to the summitt

-we only got rained on during the hike down

-everyone had fun and no one was hurt (except for the sore muscles)
