I’m hoping to finally hike my first NH 4000 footer since moving to NH last year. 

I hope to hit the trail around 7:30 AM Friday February 19. You’ll be able to watch my progress below, which will be tracked by my DeLorme InReach Explorer Two Way Satellite Communicator. It should start updating my location as soon as I hit the trail. Please note: During my hike, the image below was a live, interactive map. It is now a static image, showing what was visible as I finished my hike. An explanation of what you’re looking at below will be posted soon.
