Lovely hike with friends Kelly and Isidora. I carried Mango Custard in a huge bowl up all the summits...mango custard for Middle Carter...Desserts on the 48 continues. :)
Imp Face was gorgeous. One of the most beautiful places in the Whites. Lethe was a bit confusing, since there was an obvious herd path that dead-ended, but we figured it out. Middle Carter was good old Middle Carter.
There was a bunch of trash on North Carter Trail, not far from the intersection with Carter-Moriah Trail. Looked like a trail maintainer from long, long ago camped, then left a ton of (scattered and ripped) stuff. Old and dried paint, shoe-brushes, shampoo, Dorito bags, heavy cans, garbage bags, etc. We took down what we could. If other hikers could pick up some of the trash and carry it down, then that would be great. Wish we could have handled it all ourselves, but there was too much of it.
We had the pleasure of meeting Tricia and Wayne, a nice couple doing the NH48, near the summit of Middle Carter. Hope to see them again sometime. |
