              Pilot Mountain - The Failed 2nd Coming
              --

              One of my first ever big expeditions with a Camera was, against all good reason, was to climb the 3-4 miles to the top of Pilot Mountain - after working 10 hours that day.

              Thursday, I had it in mind to come back to the mountain with fresh eyes and some experience.

              Well... ehhh, I also didn't plan the timing of the day very well, as, as you can see, I don't have an actual photo of the mountain.

              "Firekeeper, why do you not have pretty picture of Mountain?"

              BECAUSE THE SUN WAS BEHIND IT!

              Ughh, Charlie Brown. Well, I suppose my next visit to this splendiferous Mountain will be had at 7:00pm rather than 7:00am next round, but nonetheless, I did walk the top and grab shots as I went, and made the most of the morning mist down below, or as much as I could of it.

              I took WAY more photos than I thought I did Thursday so these first four will be the first of eight to twelve from that trip. Right now, 8 seems more definite, so here's the first 4 that I've edited thus far.

                    It’s currently 42F (5.5C). I have warm loungewear on, my windows open, yet it’s comfortable inside. The expected high is 68F (20C).

                    Those open windows allow me to hear the AC go on and off in the living room of the apartment upstairs. Interesting.

                      Not all trails are made just of dirt and rock. Some also involve crossing streams. This is one of our stream crossings from the trip earlier this week. Relatively easy, just took a little thought before taking the stretched-out step over the water between the two boulders-- main concern was that the launch/land points on the two boulders were wet slippery moss on sloping rock surfaces.

The hiker's right foot is in mid-flight, stretching out over the flowing water toward a boulder several feet in front of her.  Water is flowing between the boulder her left foot is planted on and the boulder she is stepping toward.

                                            Good day!

                                            After the most mild and dry winter I can remember here, we’re about to close the coldest, wettest spring I can remember.

                                            It’s 38F (3.3C) this morning.

                                            This is making me a little nervous about our upcoming summer. Hot? Cold? Smoky?

                                            Be everwell.

                                                Via ferrata in the Brandenberg Alps today. With the weather and the terrain, it felt pretty far away from everything.

The landscape is conifers and grass, the foreground, and front half of the ridge is, in the shape of the mountain behind, lacking the dense tree growth. Instead, it's cover is grass and saplings.

Beyond the ridge is another long ridge covered in conifers. Beyond that ridge is a tall mountain range, the peaks topped in snow beneath a cloudy sky.

                                                        Had a great day of hiking in the White Mountains, NH yesterday. Hiked up a trail that had lots of beautiful waterfalls, summited one of the peaks, traversed along a contour, then looped back down a different trail. Perfect weather and great scenery made for a perfect day. More pics to come!

It was accented by beautiful waterfalls that I climbed along. The upper right pic shows the base of one of the climbs and the lower right pic is a view looking down near the top of another climb. The section was 4,600 ft (1,400m) long with a vertical gain of 1,500 ft (450m) and an average grade of 33%. Fun!!

After climbing up steep slabs of rock during the ascent on last week’s hike in the White Mountains, NH, I was greeted with an expansive field of boulders through which I traversed —- over two miles (3+ km) of boulders like this. Made for slow going. This mountain (Mt Washington) is nicknamed “the rock pile” for good reason!

When hiking up a mountainside with the goal of reaching a summit, it is always exciting when first seeing a view of the destination, even while still far away. Here was my first view of the ridge I was hiking to in my recent hike in the White Mountains, NH. I stopped and enjoyed the moment before I continued up the incline.

                                                                  View of mountain ridge as seen through the evergreen trees from a forested trail.  The ridge is a dark silhouette against a solid blue sky.

The trail that I hiked on in my recent adventure in the White Mountains, NH varied dramatically as I hiked from the trailhead up to the ridge. While much of the trail consisted of either steep rock slabs or a boulder field up high, it looked much more like a trail down low such as in this pic with roots, small rocks, and dirt.

The gnarled, leaning trunks twist organically beneath a thick canopy of vibrant green summer foliage, creating a layered and atmospheric woodland scene.
