Day 23: Rest in Gorham

We arrived at a section of .7 miles walking after a few ups and downs of Trident Col Campsite. We rejoice on the flat ground and Nick said: «I never thought I would be happy to make a walk on the road!» We took the bridge over the Androscogin River, which vima a release of dam.

We saw the parking lot of Route 2 that we had coordinated with our transport driver, Nancy, and we sat under some trees. A Texas traveler was in the parking lot and was asking about some good local trails. We only know of a path at this time and we were not helpful. northAnce stopped shortly after our meeting time.

Nancy is a jewel. She is in Gorham by accident. Her daughter married a city near here and she said she would never come back. A couple of years later, Covid hit, and somehow returned and is driving the inn. She has a thick Boston accent and is ingenious, so intelligent, a bit aggressive, but also very friendly and willing to help anyone. Recently he had a complete ankle reconstruction, but he is still here helping hikers.

She recommended a restaurant called J’s Corner for lunch, so we walked there after bathing as much as we could. I longed for vegetables, so I got a grilled vegetable sandwich with zucchini, tomato, roasted peppers, spinach and cheese in a soft ciabata. Nick got a steak sandwich, and we both shared some buffalo tenders. We were full and ready to lie in the head on the cloud of the real size we had waiting for ourselves in our room.

After the nap, we prepare our bidding clothes for washing. This implies a bit of a cleaning in the sink with soap, so our socks will not ruin the rest of our clothes in the washing cycle. After a week of using the same outfit every day, the dirt accumulates.

It was time for another feeding session, so we walked to a pizza down the street around 7 for dinner. I got spaghetti and meatballs and Nick ordered a steak. The food was so-so, but we needed to replace part of the weight we have been losing our daily walks. Nick has been losing more drastically than I have, whatever expected. So I always give you some of my extra food. We are trying to find a healthy calorie supplement to add to your trail food.

We go to our phones, we call family members and update with text messages and emails. The dream came at 9 pm. The rest is essential, and we were excited to get this heat wave in the comfort of cool inn.
