Day 132 - Hexacuba to Glencliff Hostel

Climbed Mt. Cube, then it was off to find water. We’ve never had to search so hard for it. I was OK in the morning, but ran out at the end of the day.

Definitely in the 90s. Sweat pouring from every orifice. Luckily the terrain wasn’t as hard as the past couple of days. Got to the hostel in Glencliff at 5.

Nice place. Lots of hikers, including a few section hikers and Sobos (and a blue blazer). Watched an incredible lightning storm from the front of the hostel over the mountains. Never heard any thunder or felt any rain, but it must have rained somewhere. Cooled off a bit.

Slept under my own bivy (made by the people who run the hostel). Pretty comfortable. Decided to get up early so I could tackle Moosilauke, my first White Mountain, before the heat/possible thunderstorms. 

Had Murph wake me at 5:15. Ouch. But most others were up soon after, including Dave (who said he wasn’t going to get up that early).
