My last full day in the state of New Hampshire, and it did not get off to a good start. After a night of zero sleep, bad headaches, hot flashes, and a very dry sore throat in our oven of a motel room, I think I'm coming down with some kind of bug.
I managed to feel at least decent as I trudged the 12 miles to the shelter in light drizzle and fog after a 1:30pm start from the road to Gorham. Hopefully this beautiful shelter full of friends along with a small bottle of Knob Creek bourbon will help get me some sleep and take away this impending sickness.
