We left Hanover, New Hampshire and started hiking up the Mt. It was up and down today not a lot of long ups. I hiked with a new pack -Granite Gear- today. It is carrying the weight better than my old pack. Water was scarce today. A lot of the streams listed in the guide book were dry. My trail bird sang to me today. He has been on the trail since Vermont. Such a pleasure to hear each morning and afternoon.
We are camping by a babbling brook tonight (Mink Creek). We crossed the brook and camped on the island with the brook surrounding us. Plenty of Water. Love it.
Moose Mountain- Elevation 2222 ft. I did better today going up the Mt. I was fresh and rested. We had a good hike today. I am getting stronger. We hiked for 2 hrs at a time instead of 1.
