Decided to car camp at Wildwood campground the night before. Total number of hours in bed was enough, quality of sleep was trash. I went to bed too early as it was raining when i arrived and felt trapped in the car with rain. The hike started just before 0500 and the trail was thoroughly soaked. As i broke 3500 feet in elevation, i too became soaked as the wind hitting the clouds and trees resulted in sideways rain hitting me. At sunrise everything was still socked in and the sky would only show around 8 or 9 am by the time i was on my way down.
The original plan had been to see if i could find a bushwack to Waternomee after hitting Jim & Blue, but beaverbrook trail was basically a swap. I turned back shortly after getting down to around 3500 feet on that side of the mountain, hit moosilauke again twice just for the vertical gain/miles.
Had i just started a bit later it likely would have been a stunning day. O well the foliage during the driving was stunning. |
