Day 60 - in which wallaby's legs get tired. (30/8/2016)

After 70 miles in 4 days, my legs are due for a break. Tomorrow I head to Upper Goose Pond Cabin, where there are bunks, canoes, and pancakes. Fortunately it's only 11 miles away, so I can take it slow and give my body some rest.

Today while walking through Dalton, MA, I came across a house flying the American flag (no surprise) alongside the Canadian flag (much more rare!) I called out to the woman on the porch that I liked her flag, and that led to a conversation. Not only was Suzanne Canadian, but her father lives 20 minutes from my parents (and thus me, I suppose). In fact, he had been the police chief in my parents' town! It's a long trail, but a small world.

She somewhat grudgingly let me take a photo before forcing me to carry a large zucchini the rest of the day. Nothing without its price.

It was a tough, dry, final 7 miles today so it's time for bed. Zzzzzzz
