12 July - Pinkham Notch, Joe Dodge Lodge, on Rt 16.

Partly sunny with thunder storms in the afternoon.

Climbed Mount Madison then descended 3500 feet to the AMC lodge.  Tiring climb down.  We heard thunder but again, we did not get rained on.

We crossed the auto road near the bottom of today's hike.  I keep thinking about how we could have walked down the auto road yesterday and been here in a few hours.  Instead we followed the AT in a big horse shoe pattern through the Presidentials yesterday afternoon and all of today.

In the last few days in the Presidential Range, we have crossed or summited Mounts Lincoln, Garfield, Jackson, Pierce / Clinton, and Madison.
