21 miles in great weather to the fire tower and cabin on top of Smart Mountain. Great 360 views from the fire tower and my first true sunset,tomorrow should prove for an amazing sunrise ... I fell asleep typing and my phone died. Sunrise wasn't as awe inspiring as sunset, but it was still awesome none the less. Out of camp by 8:15 this morning and pushed 15 miles to Oar Hill shelter. We had planned to do 21 to the base of Mnt Moosalocki, but it was in the 90s in New Hampshire today, so we took a long lunch and a swim at this really cool lake. Tomorrow we hit above tree line conditions and the fun really begins. I'm pretty certain I won't have service thru the Whites but I will update every chance I get. Hoping to stay in a few of the AMC huts in the whites, they are said to be amazing, and they all offer work for stay as do most of the shelters thru the Whites. I hear of all you can eat lasagna at one of the huts, fingers crossed. I'm out of snacks for the whites but I have plenty of breakfasts,lunches, and dinners, so hopefully I can make it last thru Gorham,NH.. Lots of movement in the forests around the shelter tonight, its hiker tv. Early to bed early to rise, tomorrow we conquer Moosalocki!
