We've had fun meeting up with Bob White and Happy Camper at shelters at lunch and dinner. Tag and I are psyched to see Harry Potter in Andover with them. Nothing I've experienced on the trail can compare to the adventure and thrills of the completion of the Harry Potter saga! (just kidding, haha)
Let's see, what else?... Oh yeah! Preston (now known as Coach, because of his invaluable survival advice) completed the White Wolf Challenge at Scratton's White Wolf Inn. He downed three 1-pound burgers, topped with sausage and bacon, each with a bunch of fries. Somehow, we forgot to take pictures of all the food, but I did get a pic of Coach shortly after "winning" the challenge (he was all dazed and traumatized at the moment). It was pretty hardcore to watch from the opposite side of the table, especially with the threat of vomit (I was ready to bail at any moment).
Well, we had to wait an extra day in town for a package to arrive. I'm actually pretty eager to get back on the trail. The next portion, southern Maine, is supposed to be the hardest part of the trail, but if it's anything like The Bigelows, then it should be great.
Oh yeah, I have a trail name. Someone suggested "the butterfly whisperer," and that went through a bunch of changes and inside joke references. The name metamorphosed and grew, and The Butterfly Effect (or "Effect," for short) has emerged from its cocoon! It's a bit manly, maybe a little intimidating, but I think it will work.
Well, thanks again for reading, and remember to donate! Effect out!
These pics are from Moxie Bald Mountain, nice view.
This is Bob White with a picture of the quail she's named after.
