Hello all! We’re in Hanover, NH. Whoop! Whoop! Just this state and Maine to go and we’re finito. Yahoozie! Anyhoo, here are some pics from the time I spent hiking with my dear friend Diana, trail name “Whim.” I’ve got 40 minutes of library time left so I hope to get a bunch in. These pics are of Massachusetts and some of Vermont. Thanks for looking!

Have you counted how many servings of burgers and fries you have consumed on this hike?
Just wondering!!
Nope, but two nights ago, I ate 3 1/2 to 4 pounds of pizza in about 45 minutes. There’s a story behind that, and photos, so look for a post about the “Moosilauke Monster” (pizza named for a nearby mountain) soon!
Holy Shit! I want a Missahooskililly Monster!!!
That sounds awesome!!!!
