Day 147 (Aug. 15th) – 10.3 miles to Garfield Campsite. We climbed 5 mountains today: Liberty, Little Haystack, Mt. Lincoln, Mt. Lafayette and Mt. Garfield. Cloudy on Franconia Ridge but cleared up after a while – beautiful views! Exhausted, but good day – not as much rock scrambling as couple days before.
Day 148 (Aug. 16th) – 14.5 miles to Ethan Pond Campsite. This morning started out very cold after thunder and lightening storms last night. We climbed South Twin Mountain and Mt. Guyot today. Stopped at Zealand Falls Hut for a bowl soup at lunch, and then the sun came out. Chilly tonight again (6 pm). Cell service in the White’s is very scarce, so will post when I can.
Day 149 (Aug. 17th) – 2.9 miles to Crawford Notch. Super easy hike today from our tent site – all board walks and downhill. Staying at Yellow Deli Hostel to resupply and looking like a zero tomorrow as 100% rain forecasted and we have heavy climbing and the start of the Presidentials coming up. Hate taking a zero but feel it is safest choice right now.
Day 150 – zero day at Yellow Deli (2nd location in Lancaster, NH).

You guys have been very inspirational to me! Thank you so much! As a 56 yr old teacher staring at retirement, I have become very interested in a thru hike. I was specifically looking for experiences of a “non-millennial”. I am very much considering spending June & July on the AT in ’18.
Best of luck, God Bless & thanks again,
David
