No, no, no, this is still reality. I didn’t get around to blogging last evening. I’ll blame it on Jerry. The area is just beautiful. The mountains, the notch, it will take a better person than me to describe it. Hope to take some pictures today. We didn’t have phone coverage on Friday but on Thursday he said that he hoped to get off the trail about 6:00 p.m. So finally walks off the trail at…6:01. I don’t know how he does that.
So I brought Jerry back to the farm. He showered in the doorless shower. We went out for dinner. Had too much, too late. I was awake from 1:00-5:00 a.m. Jerry slept in the tent because there isn’t enough room for two people in the camper. I guess I could have slept in the tent also but I’m honestly trying to make this place my home. I think there was a warmth factor also to be perfectly honest. So I just listened for hours to this nifty little plug in night light clock that Judy gave me. No inspiring words were heard, just tic, tic, tic.
So I got up around 6:00 to go to the bathroom and happened to run into Zach and being the nice person that I am, I asked if he needed help. I ended up picking herbs for a while. Jerry finally rolled out of the tent about 8:00. After talking (mostly to himself) he decided to take a zero day today. His knee was bothering him a little yesterday. He also wanted time to resupply and regroup before hitting the trail for Mt. Washington. So, ‘we’ did laundry. Ate some breakfast. At the moment he is going through his resupply box. Later I think we will drive back over to Crawford Notch to enjoy the area, the sights Jerry does not get to see from above.
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood and a beautiful day to spend some time together. It is always nice to have him close although I do my best not to try and persuade him one way or the other. He is down to 345 miles. Yea, Jerry!
