Last week I found my Diary of when I was 19 years old , in 1973, and on June 10th went to Mount Marcy! (banner picture). This was my first real mountain hike.

REMINDER: I think that my maxHR is above Astrand's 220-age, but I still use that formula for the % since I don't know my exact maxHR and just want to compare one WO with another.

Much easier and not as interesting as the section of the Long Trail we do coming up from the Dean Trail, but a pleasant hike down.

NOTES :
1) The Dean Trail is fun going up
2) There are ALOT of dogs, specially on the Monroe Trail
3) I shorten my hiking poles about 10 inches for the rocky up sections... I'd need getting used to this but they are much less in the way.
4) Blue markers lead the way up and down.. the Long Trail on top had white markers.  Everything very clear except at the very top where a map helps, specially if you want to do a loop.

Still a little way to go..

We're almost there.. just follow the whit markers..

MOUNT JEFFERSON, New Hampshire, USA
UP Castle Ravine Trail   and DOWN  the Castle Trail

With  Gabriel

HIKING  start 7 h 00 AM
WEIGHT OF PACSAC : 20 lbs
DENIVELATION  1,311 m. (4,300 ft)  - 
TOTAL LENGTH 16,1 km (10 mi)
TOTAL TIME   9h46mins
TEMPERATURE :  Sunny, with a high near 67. Northwest wind between 10 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph

UP Castle Ravine trail  5h30 mins  / 3594 calories / 35% fat / AveHR 136 81% / MaxHR 157  94% / 4h31 mins inZone (75%+)
Leaving early, we knew we had time.. and since I wasn't sure how hard it would be, didn't push myself at all. Took alot of pictures and so did Gabriel. The Stream was at very low water level, I would't try it if it was much higher. On the steep part between the Roof Rock and the Cornice trail.. It was no use anyways.. going fast just made the rocks tumble.
LUNCH AND CLIMB-ABOUT There's no walking on Jefferson! It's just a big pile of rocks!
DOWN Castle  trail   3h46 mins  / 1739 calories /  55 % fat / AveHR  112  67% / MaxHR  133   80% / 15 mins inZone (75%+)
Estremely Windy for the first 45 mins, but we were well dressed so it fun in a strange way.

NOTES :
1) So windy coming down, that I was glad that I DIDN'T have my contact lenses.
2) Comming with a Hiking Club would have reassured me. But I do like the freedom of only having to co-ordinate my  schedule with Gabriel.
3) If I continue using my poles in scrambling, I REALLY have to get rid of the round parts at the bottom. Fining a way to attach them to my pacsac would be even more intelligent.
4) I might modify a Sweatshirt.. to have a net backing.. really don't need much under the pacsac.
5) We never understood how come after 5 rinsings, Gabriel's Platypus still had water tasting like diswashing soap. I'm glad I had some extra to give him. I'll definately taste the water from a bottle I've washed.. before counting on it in a hike.
6) My little Waist bag is absolutely fantastic for my camera, map, handkerchief and grop, but looks terrible on pictures LOL
 

ABOVE : The Jefferson Ravine Trail, from the Castle Trail. The red dot that the arrow is pointing to is a person on the trail.
	ABOVE : Too many great adventure stories come from unprepared travellers.mls LEFT : Like for Mount Washington, when we get to the top, we meet all kinds of people having taken different routes.. each is proud of their achievement, and rightfully so. mls
