Date of Hike: Sun 8/1
Trails - Ammonoosuc Ravine, Crawford, Monroe Link, Crawford, Trinity Connector, Gulf Side, Jewell
Conditions - Fabulous. Clouds dodged us all day but with minor exception on Ammo. trail where there was some running water on sides, trails were dry and in great shape. Lot of evidence of blowdowns on Ammo. toward Gem Pool - thanks trail angels for your hard work. Few bugs at top of Monroe and at dusk on Jewell.
Comments: unfortunately while trying to keep pace with my autistic wonderboy who races ahead on the trail without stopping, I fell and twisted my ankle about 0.5 mi down the Jewell after its junction with the Gulf Side. Had to walk out 3+ miles gimped. We made it, but yikes! - this was supposed to be the training hike for Mt. Madison! I'm sure none of you uber-hikers are stupid enough to lose your footing but in case the thought ever occurs to you to go faster than you'd like on the down stretch - dont!
