The trip that inspired a quest!

On the weekend of August 10 and 11, 2013, Seth, Steve and I set out for the NH White Mountains for a day hike of the Franconia Ridge trail. The Franconia Ridge trail summits two 4000 foot peaks: Mt. Lincoln and Mt. Lafayette. That trip has inspired a quest: to summit all of NH 4000 footers.

We went up the Falling Waters trail.

At the top of Little Haystack, which isn't one of the 4000 footers. Mt. Lincoln is in the background.

Bro. Bro.

On the way to Mt. Lincoln.

"You said there was a burrito stand up here."

On the Old Bridle Path, looking back at Mt. Lincoln. Mt. Lafayette is to the left of the picture.

The ridge.

More ridge, but panorama style.

The next day we went across the way to Lonesome Lake.

Round the lake.

We stopped in at Lonesome Lake hut before Seth had to roll to meet the family. Steve and I talked about bumrushing Cannon Mountain, but instead.....we got beers at Woodstock Inn and Brewery.

"Yeah I think we can do all of 'em"
