You Look Like A Thru-hiker

Location: White Mountains National Forest Mt. Madison

As I descended Mt. Madison, just before reaching Madison Hut. I met Murph. I said hello, she said “hello, are you a thru-Hiker?” I said yes. She said “you have that look”

I tried to think of something witty to say but had to focus on our conversation. We exchanged stories, leave dates, high/low points, and where we had come from and made it to today. As we said our goodbyes and I contemplated making the push to where she started, it came to me!!!

You “have that look”, “What, the look like I am subjecting myself to ridiculous amounts of pain and torture for what???” 🙂

Yeah that look. The “Thru-hiker” look lol.
