Trout seemed a little off this morning. We walked together a bit, but eventually he got ahead and I didn't see him again all day. I hope he's feeling better.
I was only planning around 14-16 miles today, since I needed to pop into Manchester Centre for some resupply and mail. That meant a lot more resting than yesterday, which was good. During one rest stop, a group of young hikers came through and one asked me if he could take my portrait! I saw no reason to say no, and then before I knew it he was taking a light measurement off my face and had whipped out a medium format camera! I think I'm part of an art project. I did have some pretty awed kids at both being a thru-hiker, and then knowing about the light meter and medium format camera.
If only my off-trail friends were so easily impressed!
If I'd been smarter, I'd have asked him to send me a copy and then taken a picture of him. Sadly, I was too tired to think of it at the time.
Today was mostly about recovery from yesterday.
Start: Big Branch
End: 1 mile past Bromley Shelter
