a day in the clouds

There was a break in the weather on Sunday, finally. After three weeks of rain it was nice. But there was still plenty of weather on the summit of Mt. Washington. I hiked up the Ammonoosuc Ravine trail with plenty of other folks, a big change from the TriPyramids or most peaks in the Whites, where you are on your own. Then there was the mob at the summit. Kids in tee-shirts and flip-flops giggling out of their cars to dash up the final 25 yards from the parking lot before heading inside for a slice of pizza. Wow.
