Dan and I headed out for summits 46 & 47 in our attempt to complete one full round of the 48 together. The weather was cold enough to keep us moving all day. We met many very nice people out on the trails today. Congratulations to Dan M for an early morning sunrise. Congratulations to the man that was bagging # 13 & 14 today. Great talking on the summit of Hancock to the woman ( I didn't catch your name but enjoyed our chat). The two on South that talked photos with Dan were excellent to meet and then the gorgeous dogs arrived. The weather was wonderful, with blue skies and great views. It was cold but with the right gear completely doable. Thank you Dan for a great day out and helping me deal with some tough emotions. I finished my 13th round today:-) |
