Hikerboys first day back at work!

[Rasty]

Here are some photos of what I was doing today in celebration of Hikerboys first day back at work. I went on two day hikes in the White mountains. The first was a Franconia Ridge loop with Lincoln and Lafayette. I got done early and decided to go to Chororua and hike from the route 112 trailhead. These photos are being submitted mostly to make HB mad. If you have any pictures from a Hike completed on May, 13 then add yours also.

my first day back was eventful. i had to wait about 3 hrs for all my passwords to get reset , finally saw my first customer around 3pm, sold him an equinox, coming out of a rav-4.
one down, 59 more to go by 8/15 if i want to complete my thru hike this year.its not going to be easy. the store had originally been scheduled to be shut down next year, and we currently have no on-premises service department.gm has given us a new license, so its my job now to build a new sales team and get the place rocking again.many of our old cusomers have gone elsewhere because of the service inconvenience, and it will be 6 months before we have service fully operational here again, but st least ive got good news for prospective customers.
in the meantime, if you're gonna post pics, make them all from franconia ridge. i dont mind a little(lot) awesome ridgeline on my desktop!!

shorts or pants?or crotch high gaiters?

Many cool mountains around, but the Whites will always be my first and best love.

Sounds like a good opportunity for you to settle the question once and for all "Can you hike the trail on $1000"
