Completed the first of the four White Mountains (Plus Old Speck Mt) that I’ll be doing here, starting with the easiest, the Welch-Dickey Loop!

The weather has been and likely will continue to be astonishingly unpredictable due to smoky haze from the wildfires in Canada from the north mixed with the low pressure climate from the east. My hope is to start with the low peaks first and work my way up the ladder day by day as the weather seems to be gradually getting less extreme as the week goes on.

The challenge has definitely gotten more complicated at this point, but I have confidence that if I keep a close eye on the weather, play my cards right and plan accordingly, I can still stick with my original plan. Only time will tell though, for now, 6 down, 5 to go!
