Another New Pair of Boots
Well, it’s back to the trail today.
The old ones started showing alarming signs of wear.
With new boots (the Hi Tecs I bought in New Jersey developed a hole); a somewhat new backpack (Maris and I got it in Lebanon, NH when she visited); and a haircut, I’ll tackle the Presidential Range in the Whites.
New boots (right) are 1 lb. lighter than the old ones.
My Mom and Maris have tried to fatten me up. We’ll see if it helps me climb faster and hike longer. Soup at the huts will help too.
I’m looking forward to the challenge, something I haven’t always done on this hike. The next two weeks will be tough, but I’ll make Maine in a week.
The prospect of meeting a moose might keep me going as much as the food. Root for the moose, all you hordes of readers.
