Cast in order of appearance:
Frodo
Mats Roing
Mtnpa
Tim Seaver
Cast members who we were supposed to meet on the ridge but decided to go over Clay and therefore we bypassed each other: Abster, 7Summits, Nif, Kim, Mardy, Cruddy Toes and Sue
Now it's Sunday morning and the number of eager hikers had decreased drastically overnight......not an uncommon theme at Barnes Field
Mtnpa was the first one on the trail at 5:30am. Frodo and I started out on Crawford Path at 7:15am. Tim Seaver was unfortunately unaware of our decision to go from the south instead of from Appalachia so he waited on the north side for a while before heading up Valley Way.
Frodo and I about half hour into the hike:
Da Swede with Ike in the background:
Frodo heading towards Monroe about 2.5 hrs into the hike:
Here comes Mtnpa who also summited the other Monroe summit:
With Mtnpa outside Lake of the Clouds.....
Frodo bouncing up Washington:
And now time for hot dogs and pizza!
Frodo had to be in Boston by 6pm so he went down Jewell Trail and I continued on my own......soon thereafter I ran into the man who got me into VFTT to begin with - Tim Seaver! And he was the last familiar face I saw in the mountains on this last hike in the Whites for some time.......
Jefferson was void of people all together....and then up to Adams....where I had company with a nice woman from Canada who took this last picture on the summit of Adams......bye-bye.....
At 5pm I was down by Appalachia and actually ran into Tim Seaver again close to Twin Mountain where he tried his hitch-hiking luck.....and he was lucky.....and so was I who got another 20 minutes with one of the nicest hikers I know.....
And the day finished on the deck of the Mountainhouse with Mtnmama and Mtnpa and a hummingbird. It was a beautiful sunset.....and the bird soon took off to the west.......
