Amazing hike of Mt Isolation on Sunday 9/16/18 almost a year after starting my 4000 footer journey with a One Day Full Presi Traverse on 9/17/17 . This year we began our drive to the mountain at 4:00 am last year we began our drive from our North Conway at 2:30. Last year above treeline the views were amazing with clear skies and 60 degrees; a bit unusual for September. This year the views were amazing with clear skies and it was even warmer at 75 degrees. Last year I shared my hike with my friend of 15 years Sarah Elia. This year I shared my hike with two newer friends Gio Boggero and Christine Genard. Last year Sarah was suffering on our descent, as her boots were a poor fit, resulting in her wearing flip flops to the gym for the next month. This year Christine and Gio had sore knees and during the descent were plotting pushing me off the next outlook. Last year we finished at 7:30 PM, meeting Richard a bit later than expected, and could not wait to take our shoes off . This year we finished at 5:00 PM, could not wait to take our shoes off, and headed to Starbucks.

To all my friends I have brought along just remember the famous words of Winnie the Pooh:
You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.
THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING IN MY JOURNEY....
