Grafton notch to Andover East B rd.
Great hike over baldpate with some sunshine! Great day up there. Coyote and Sasquatch were there with me. Scooted over the day ten miles or so and got into Andover at pine Ellis hostel as the rains came. Stayed there with Hollywood and bearbag and isn't black coyote and oops.
Carlo col to Grafton notch
Whole day with Hollywood, through the notch, in little over an hour. Fell a ton and ripped my packed, stuff fell out. Broke a pole. Saw miss America . Mahoosuc arm was tough but we did it. Stopped at a shelter as it started to rain, but I pushed on. I climbed old speck mtn. Lightening striking all around me. It's exposed up there above tree line . I sprinted down a tenth of a mile and set up my tent and got in. It made little sense I'm sure. . The storm lasted a hour then I climbed out and proceeded to notch met Hollywood and we hitched to the mahoosuc lodge, wet and tired. Place was nice. Ate old food.
