Fog. Rain. Slick Rocks. Ep 70

Done hiking for now. Made it to mile 1786.5 at NH-25. Just 10 miles shy of Glencliff where the Whites start. So frustrated but thankful for the opportunity. I learned a lot and am ready for more challenges after I heal.

So sorry to hear about your ankle. Those rocks are tough!! Especially when wet. Let me know if you need any help

One negative comment after another...must have set some kind of record.
There is always a downside that can be focused on...by the same condition, there are many positive things and natural beauty on the Trail to focus on. I would recommend anyone who intends to actually be able to complete a successful Thru-Hike to condition your mind on the latter example.
Best of luck to you with the ankle, and a successful recovery.

Slippery rocks are bad! I fell and broke my leg on the Appalachian Trail on a section hike in New Jersey last year (Delaware Water Gap NRA). I had to come out on a bodyboard and have immediate surgery. Thank goodness the body heals over time.

@@mathfan0918 glad you healed. I am improving. Will be back next summer

Hey Last! I can't believe this popped up on my feed. Lemons here, from the Moose Mountain shelter. You won't believe this coincidence, but I slipped and hurt my foot on July 5th on the climb down from the first peak after Moose Mountain and had to end my hike at the Lyme-Dorchester Road. Must have been some bad gris gris at that shelter. I hope you get healed up quick.

@@bobklare4894 What a coincidence!! I had to go home to Houston. Doctor said wear a boot 3 weeks then rehab several more. Bad sprain to ankle tendon. I am off the trail for the rest of the hiking year. I will just have to start again next summer. Hope your recovery is going netter than mine
