Day: 136, 9/3/2013: Pinkham Notch, NH

7.8 miles hiked, We stayed at the Joe Dodge Lodge. This was another short mileage day. The day was very sunny as we climbed up and over Mt Madison. But the terrain was also very rocky. This was not too bad as the rocks were dry. However, once we went below tree-line, the rocks and roots were all damp and wet which slowed us significantly. Even though most of the day was downhill we could just not make good time. At the Notch we decided to just get a room at the lodge and call it a day as the next section of trail was 2,400 feet up Mt Wildcat.
