Traffic around NYC, and up 93 into New Hampshire will be wicked heavy, and 
might mess with your timing.
If my math is right, you've climbed 14, 300 ft. That downhill to Rte 2 is 
gonna be a bitch! Get those Hut reservations early, it's a very busy weekend. 
Don't forget to stargaze while your above treeline! Mitzpah to Madison is 
going to be a long day. If you can escape Mitzpah at first light, (as early 
as you can!) and the weather is good, you'll have a wonderous day. Try to 
catch the sunrise from Mount Madison!
have fun!
