9/22/07 - Hiked w/ Gwen - Met at Sabbaday Falls. We realized we were on the wrong side of the mountain so we had to drive 45 minutes to the right trailhead. We didn't start hiking until 10. Stayed in the hardwoods longer than usual. When we got closer to the top of Whiteface there was a lot of rock climbing to do. It was fun and I was glad it wasn't raining. Rain was forecasted for later in the afternoon. The rocky climb just seemed to go on and on. We only saw 3 people on the trail even though the parking lot was packed (they were probably all in front of us). We stopped at this really steep cliff to eat something. I was a little nervous watching this guy walk around the edge (the guy in the pic). We were really high up. Finally summited around 2. We were doing a loop and wanted to hike Passaconaway as well but the hike was so long, and we didn't get to the trailhead to Passaconaway until 4:30 that we decided against it. Oh well, we'll have to come back for that one. It was starting to get dark on our hike back down. When we came out of the woods we had to walk these dirt roads that had some houses on them. I would love to live here. There was one little cabin right on a river with a fireplace. There was someone inside, I could smell food and I was hoping they'd come out and offer us a meal! Got to the cars at 6:30.
