Day #31, Wildcat Mtn peaks A-E and so on--miles hiked: 13.2

After a final meal at McDonalds, we hitched out of Gorham to complete the final stretch of the White Mountains...and as is tradition for coming out of a town, the trail headed straight up the side of Wildcat Mtn. The mountain has 5 peaks with excellent views of Mt. Washington and the other presidentials.
After peak D, we finally found that gondola straight to a restaurant we have been looking for since the first week...but we resisted the urge for today.
After enjoying massive Walmart sandwich that I justified carrying up the mountain, we stopped by Carter Notch Hut--the final one in the system.
After the hut, we hammered out 7 more miles in the wind and rain...the weather really does change in an instant here. The final destination was Imp Shelter where we enjoyed a nice, dry nights sleep.
Ps--the current fall standings are as follows:
Double Dip--16
Blueberry--13
Shabbat--11
