Solo Camping at the Base of the Tallest Peak in the Northeast | White Mountains

Woo, it's getting cold out there, which means my car does not want to start as quickly. Hello, my friends. Welcome back to another episode. I'm picking up right where I left off in the last one, so go watch that one if you want to know how I got here. But I'm leaving my campsite and I'm about to explore around the base of Mount Washington, which I'm really excited about. I have a feeling it is going to be stunning. Maybe I'll see some moose, I don't know. But I'm going on a couple of hikes today and I think that's all. Am I just hiking and seeing scenic stuff? I think so. So, yeah, that's on the agenda for the day. Why'd they write the sign like that? Breakfast. What is up with? Why? The drivers here are crazy. That's the second, oh, McDonald's. That's the second time this morning that I've seen somebody just inch out into traffic to block oncoming traffic just to try to get across, but there's no gaps in the other traffic lanes, so they just end up sitting where you could T-bone them. I hope that makes sense. This is nearly frozen. I'm going all the way up there. No. Dang it. Okay, well, I guess camera only. That's so sad. I think I forgot to tell you guys where I'm actually going. I'm going to a place called Cancamagus Pass. Guys, this is about to be epic. Pamica-Wasat Overlook. This is about to be insane. Oh my goodness, that was so pretty. Okay, hauling into another scenic overlook. There was a sign that I passed that said that this is only 2,800 feet. It feels so much higher than that because the features are features that I've seen at 5,000 feet and up. The rock faces and the pointy little mountains out here. So I can't believe it's only 2,800 feet. It's crazy. On to the next. Okay, now I'm going to go find some trail by a lake and walk there. I found another scenic area. I found a parking spot, so I'm going to go check out what is here. Apparently it's a day use fee area, so I'm going to put that on my dash. Well, I'm sitting in traffic. Can somebody please tell me if the Vermont's road sign is supposed to resemble a face or not, like Mount Rushmore? This is so pretty. That was insane. It's crazy because it's just basically houses all around here, and then it plops you out onto this beautiful lake with a cliff in the back. Okay, now I'm going to keep going and driving through more pretty stuff, and I think I have a hike that I have to get to pretty swiftly because I'm losing daylight. What time is the sun going to set, actually? Six o'clock. That was so pretty. 10 out of 10. That's probably going to be and is one of my favorite stops on the East Coast so far. Okay, I'm going to go to a scenic lookout. Even, what is this place? What is New Hampshire? Honestly, I pulled over because I thought it was just going to be a really pretty view, and I completely forgot that there was a waterfall here, so it was a nice, good find. I'm on the hunt for a trailhead. I think it's here. Made it on trail. It's backwards. So it's a mile and a half to the lookout point, but I originally just wanted to come here for the Centennial Pools, but I haven't seen them on any map I've looked at here, so this might turn into just a lookout point view, but I don't have too much time to do that. Guys, I found it. I found Centennial Pool. Okay, I'm going to head back down since that was my original goal, and I just accomplished it because I've got to head to camp before the sun sets, and it happens a lot faster than you might think. I do have a small dilemma. My service is not working here, so I have absolutely no idea how to get to camp. I know the direction I should be traveling in, but I don't know the specifics of the roads I have to take, especially my camp road, so this is going to be very interesting. I'm just going to drive, and hopefully it'll load on the drive, but I doubt it because I feel like I'm about to get no service completely. Okay, wish me luck. We got maps. What? Oh my goodness. I just accidentally found one of the prettiest things I've ever seen. That place looks like it's definitely haunted or will be haunted. It looks like it belongs on a ghost show is all I'm saying. Now there's traffic behind me. See you at camp. I have landed. I'm going to throw a layer on, and then I'm going to make dinner. When I say make dinner, I just mean heat up some leftover dip that I made a couple days ago. I don't even know if it's still good. Hopefully. I'm running out of options here. I have mac and cheese. This is dip that I made, artichoke dip. Hopefully it's still good. I don't know why it wouldn't be. I think it's fine. I have Ghost Adventures on in the background. Is he leading us to the most dangerous and active areas? You can't help but laugh at this. If Henry is our guide at this moment. Sorry, mere burp. Okay, I'm going to try my dip. I think it's really hot. Actually, I should probably turn it off. Only it's still really hot. I do this every time. It's always too hot. But oh my gosh, it's still good. Good dip. Hot. Oh God. Okay, I'm going to eat a cheesecake. A bag of cheesecake. I feel like this is so cursed. Look at it. Cheesecake good. It's getting so cold out. Ridiculous. Freezing outside. Even though I think my phone says it's only like 47 degrees it feels like it's, it is cold. I don't think I could have lasted much longer out there. Cheese up. I 100% have a video to edit, but do I feel like doing that right now? No. I honestly, since I have service, I feel like I want to rot for a while and get warm. So I'm going to lay under the covers and I'm just going to doom scroll for a bit. Dang it, it's so cold out there. Look at the GoPro shadow. It's so big. I've just been sitting here, doom scrolling. I'm going to continue to do that probably. Not gonna lie. This is why the videos aren't coming out because I'm just procrastinating editing. Sorry. Okay, TTYL slash talk to you tomorrow. That's what I meant. Hi, I already changed. I am going to get out of here as quick as possible because I have stuff planned for the next video. Question of the day is, do I put a bunch of cornstarch in my hair or do I wear a hat? Hmm, I don't know. Maybe hat. I could probably get away with cornstarch for one more day. If any of you are new here and are like, what are you doing? Cornstarch essentially acts as a dry shampoo, except I think it's more effective in my opinion, but it just soaks up your unshowered hair or unwashed hair for four days, you know? So now I have to rub it in and you get the cornstarch absolutely everywhere, which is not cool, but I don't know how I'm going to come back from this, actually, because cornstarch is so hard to get out of things. Okay, my friends, that about wraps up this episode. Tune in for the next one to see where I go next. But thank you all for watching so much. I will see you guys in the next one.
