Last Hoorah!

It has been 4 months and 2 weeks that we have been out here and we have 2 weeks left to go. It has been a crazy roller coaster of a ride. It has been seriously amazing adventure, but I am ready for it to be over. I didn't share this feeling for a little while because I was afraid I wasn't suppose to feel this way. It turns out most people are feeling this way as well. We are in this strange place of ready to be done, but at the same time we don't want the time with friends to end and living in the woods. We are in great shape to end at our original end date of August 1st. It is a good feeling knowing that we do not have to rush for any reason. So we are going to savor these last two weeks, but keep moving toward the end. 

The last few weeks have been pretty tough with the climbs, but the hard part is over now. The whites were incredible! The views and the scenery was so amazing and the best part is we got great weather the whole time. Even on top of Mt. Washington where the weather is always rough we had a beautiful sunny morning. It was still windy and cold, but the luck we had brought me to tears. We went through the Mahooauc notch with a great group of friends. For those who don't know it is a 1 mile section of boulders that you have to scrabble up and around and under! It was a blast and only took us an hour and a half! Since then Maine has been pretty easy, but rainy and muddy. I have been slipping and falling a lot but it is all in a days hike. 

Being dirty and smelly is the norm now. We still are always hungry and think about food all the time. The idea of a bed, a fridge, clean clothes, and feet that don't hurt everyday sounds so good. I am looking forward to seeing my family and friends who I miss very much. Love to all!
