August 28 - Lakes of the Clouds Hut (Day 162 – milepoint 1825.3)

Helped the Mizpah Croo clean up this morning, then headed out in a heavy fog for a short five-mile day en route to the Lakes of the Clouds Hut.

It’s a shame to be missing some of the views up here in the Presidential Mountains. I know there’s more to appreciate than fog, rocks, and nice-smelling day hikers. It is supposed to be clearing up soon, though, so we’ll see.

The summit of Mount Washington is only a mile away from the hut here, so Lej and I went for a quick climb up to the summit to check things out. Hopped on a pay-phone and got to call Johnny. Damn, I miss him.
