NH & ME pix!

Yes!!!

The weather was gorgeous yesterday...

Canoe ferry across the Kennebec River

....while today it is POURING. And we heard that a tornado (!!!) touched down near here earlier today. Did we not manage to get out hiking? Oh darn!!!

SO, in the meantime, here's a bit of catching-up on photos.

The Whites

Between Mt Liberty and the Franconia Ridge

Here, Kara is applying the highly technical wind measurement device called the "Hand Wavometer". We estimate that the wind speed was approximately 50mph.

As an aside, she was also doing product limitation testing of her Hiking Kilt.

We did not document this with pictures.

Yes, we found the product failure parameters.

On 9/11, NH had a project to put flags on all of the 48 peaks over 4000'. It was a beautiful day, and a moving display.

Probably one of our most memorable nights out, and our only night 'cowboy-camping': sleeping out under the stars on Webster Cliffs with our (mummified in the pic) friend Poet. New moon, no humidity. More Milky Way and shooting stars than you can shake a Leki at. Just Wow.

...And the power fritzed out. So that's all the commenting & pix for today!
