  3. Magnificent photos, Chris. Such a beautiful day. This had to have been one of your favorite days out ever. I'm a Whites newbie, hoping to get up Washington soon having tried it twice and having done Moosilauke and Lafayette. I look forward to more adventures up there this summer and fall and really want to get up there when the snow returns for ventures like this one. I love your blog! Cheers, and thanks for sharing.
