05 2026-05 ME short AT trip lessons and consequences

The strangest thing about this trip was the constant question “Why am I here? Why am I in this very spot? And Where I am going?”

 – removing tree sap from car parked under coniferous tree – use rubbing alcohol and Goo Gone.

 – QUESTION – would I go on a second trip this long weekend? – I can.

 – a strange bright red spot on my leg is not getting worse.  I will monitor if this is not a tick bite

 – car was OK for all 433.3 miles

 – This first trip of the year was 2 nights; the total hike was 8.64 + 8.12 + 0.58 (= 17.34 mi) and total bike ride was 7.31 mi. The total travelled was 25.6 mi.

 – And as soon as returned from the trip a week before Memorial Day weekend, the very next agonizing question is whether and when to go next? Mahoosuc Range, NH White Mountains, extended bike trip – maybe?
