Cabot!

This was my first solo hike in a long time, and it was really cool.  I decided to take a vacation day since work was getting a bit stressful and I haven't hiked in like two dog-years (I've decided I'm going to try this unit of time out as a serious scientific measurement).  And I only have a few more of the 4000 footers left to hike in the White Mountains to complete my 48, so I decided to go for Cabot, which is in the middle of nowhere, like seriously near Canada or something.  It's cool though, because I've been getting into this "History of England" podcast recently, so I was mentally enthralled the entire drive.

Side note on the podcast: I finished listening to the almost-200-episode-long History of Rome podcast, and it was pretty awesome, so I wanted to improve my brain while I sit in a car for four hours.  And I realized that I know nothing about England between when Rome abandoned the island until, like, WWII.  So I'm learning some veritably important stuff.  And it's really entertaining. Check it out.  END OF SIDENOTE.

Anywho, I continued listening while hiking, which I hadn't done before.  The hike itself was a relatively flat and enjoyable first few miles over recently fallen leaves.  Quaint as fuck.  The last 1.5 miles become a mountain, but not too difficult.  There were even some decent views off both sides of the mountain at the top by some weird house-like edifice.  I don't know what it was or why it was there, but I minded my own business and went about my way.  The hike was fairly easy, but I really liked it.  I saw a couple dogs along the way and finished the 9 miles in about 3.5 hours.  And then another 4 hour drive back to Boston...

Sorry, I took some pictures but I'll be damned if I expend the energy required to get them off my camera and onto my computer.  So just imagine whatever you want it to look like.
