The trio rolls on, but not until after a late start due to last night's feasting festivities preceded by a day of long miles. The three of us hitched into Manchester Center for more eating and a resupply, but ended up hanging around into the afternoon, shortening our day to a very nice relaxing one. It's cozy to be in this enclosed hut for a night with thunderstorms predicted. I'm really feeling strong again after last weekend's rest and now carrying and eating much more food than usual. On top of that, the break-in of my new pair of Chaco sandals is going well since picking them up after the wedding. I hope they make it the rest of the way! In tonight with Walk On and Seeker, as well as COBOL and Dances with Moose—the first southbound thru-hikers I've met since March!
