Fairfax, VA... land of the 2-hour commute
Total mileage 13.2 miles

I will be starting out after spending the night at ADK Loj ($35/night), then heading over to the White Mts to bag #47 & #48 (Wildcat A & D) w/ MEB & KMAC .

Please have appropriate gear; I can loan some winter gear but not all.

I can provide a ride from or along the way from Boston, MA, but then you'd have to leave today because I'm doing another ADK hike tomorrow.

In 3-season hiking, I do about a 2 mile per hour pace.

I can loan the use of a JetBoil stove to make breakfast, for we'll be starting early. To quote Dan Allen, the author of "Don't Die on the Mountain", "There is no substitute for an early morning start."

Safety comes first and foremost; I'd rather turn around to hike the mountains another day than go on when prudence & conditions dictate otherwise.

Having said that, this is a peak-bagging hike; I have done 51 of the NE 115 and would like to bag 1/2 of them before leaving a while.
