First Monadnock

I started my day early to beat the crowds. This is my first hike of the year. Asthma has not been treating me well lately and work has been a bear. I finally felt well enough to hike. The road was very narrow and seemed to be beyond its years. I managed to see an owl, porcupine, and a bear along the way. I finally got to wear the shirts I created for this challenge. I was very excited to have the solitude and meet some great people along the way. I met a man named Ralph. We got to talking about VT and such. The weather was gloomy at times and sunny at other times, however, the wind kept me cool.
