Day 101-103, NH complete and reached our native state!

Day 101: My mother took us to the beginning of the path this morning, which was special! 20 miles and 7,500 feet The rise in whites means ending headlights. We started a little late since we were going from a zero of our houses in Maine. We took some homemade banana bread on the road that my aunt Diane made to us. It was the best snack of the day! The Montesses cats were beautiful. Definitely a hard climb. We are happy that we have not made the detour and we did the West Bqnch from the Peabody Ford River. Eagle Eye was with us today. We plan to stay in Gorham, NH tonight. Eagle Eye had his test test and we sent him to the path that ran the rest in the middle of the day to be able to dinner for us so we could eat when we get out of the forest. We did not do it until 10:45 pm tonight. Ryan was waiting for us in the car when we arrived with headlights. Tonight was the worst thing I felt after walking. The accumulation of lack of sleep, dental pain and resistant days in trial took me. We are about to go to the Mahosucs and stinks like this. When we arrived at the hotel room, my dad jumped into the shower immediately and had enough energy to sit on the bed. I cried because I was overwhelmed. Ryan comforted me and assured me that everything will be fine. What sent me to the limit was dental pain. I knew that I probably needed to start my antibiotic, especially in the environment of feeling that I had chills. I knew I had no fever, but I definitely felt the effects of probable dental infection. I shower, I ate as much dinner as I could and Ryan got a ice cream bath Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Butter Cup. I love the ice cream and it felt good to eat something cold. We were making difficult days, so I knew I needed to have as many calories as I could. I took a bit of Tylenol and ibuprofen and decided to wait to start the antibiotic until I talked to my brother Eric tomorrow morning.

Day 102: I slept well last night, but I did not like to wake my dental pain before my alarm. I called my brother. He told me to begin the antibiotic. I was worried about going to the mahoosucs with dental pain, but I reassured me at the beginning of the antibiotic. The antibiotic is three times a day. My multivitamin has a probiotic and knew that this would be essential while I was in the antibiotic along the way, since it is difficult to obtain probiotics with a diet of trails (also known as yogurt is not accessible while it is on its way). Today’s walk was a bit easier with respect to the conditions of paths. The paths were quite soft despite the important vertical gain we had for the day. It was another day more than 7,000 feet of climbing, but I didn’t feel so much. The weather was variable with a lot of wind, clouds and even fog. Today we crossed Maine and felt surreal to be at home. We ended up camping in a stealthy place to a half mile beyond the border of New Hampshire/Maine. There was a tree that seemed a bit incomplete by our site and very windy, I was a little scared by the tree right next to our store, but my dad assured me that this tree is sure.

Day 103: I felt great to wake up in Maine this morning! I have been in the antibiotic for 24 hours and my dental pain is improving! Last night we had quite high winds with showers inside and outside. When we woke up, it was not raining and we were preparing mentally for the most difficult stretch of 14 miles on the trail of the Apalaches, including the Mahosuc notch mile. The day was very slow and wet. We were very careful and cautious throughout the day because our number one target was to leave without an injury. The notch mile was probably our favorite mile along the way. He was challenging, but fun, and definitely to a high potential for injuries. If you venture in this section, be very careful and never go alone. Being in the notch Mahosuc felt fresh, literally, since there was still ice and snow at all times. As you go down in the notch, you felt you were in a refrigerator. In the middle of the notch, we leaked water from a wonderful fountain that was cold and clean. We probably do not need to filter it, but we always leake our water anyway. The day was far from finishing after crossing the Mahosuc mile. We had a great climb on Mahosuc Arm that finally led to the old motorcycle pond. This was probably the most beautiful pond we have seen on the path of the Apalaches so far. We also had an investment that made an impressive view west towards the white mountains. This path of path included some sun with the cloud investment. Then we got on the old mountain of Speck and had a wet descent when the rain picked up. We were received on the path by my brother and my nephew Leo, (my dad’s grandson) and the alces, my discomfort is golden. This path is very special to us, since we started and stopped many walks in the past here, so it really feels at home. My brother got us dinner and milk with chocolate for the trip home and we spent the night with Eric and Becca (my sister -in -law) at his home in Norway, Maine and my sister Celine also led from New Hampshire to join us at night. We shower and wash our clothes when we arrived, we spend the time in the living room and then we went to bed.
