Partly sunny and mostly cool - low 60s. The weather was good all day until afternoon. We had thunder on the trail but got to the hut before it rained.
Today is day 101, a good day to go up Mount Washington. For Flatlander it is a big day. A few years ago he was vacationinng on Mount Washington and saw some thru-hikers. This is when he learned about the Appalachian Trail and long distance hiking. That became the inspiration for his AT thru-hike and today closes the circle.
We spent 3 hours on Mount Washington and had a wonderful time. We got our picture on the weather cam, saw the cog rail train, took lots of pictures, and dried our shoes and packs after yesterday's rain.
There was a bicycle race up the auto road to the summit. Hiking up was hard. Bicycling is crazy. But the road was closed for the race so there were fewer tourists.
We continued across the Presidential Range to Madison Hut.
Way to go!!!
