Zero day in Andover.

Downpours. The robin Williams news spurred a goodwill hunting dead poets marathon, followed by scent of a women.

Holly slept all day. Hung with oops a bunch. 

Andover to ossoquoc

Late start hiking with oops mostly and then saw old friend scout! She talked everyone's ear off. Love that girl. The line of hikers involved scout, Thor, serge, gargoyle, Tiedye, Hollywood , me and oops .  We met up at rt 17 with pocket and chance. We heard about a vegetarian menu ten miles up the road. It was important to Hollywood . We went chance didn't . Ordered two meals. Bus girl gave us a shuttle back to trail. We slept at roadside and we camped there to a awesome sunset/sunrise. It was mostly dry that day! 

East b hill rd to south arm rd.

Started at 10am and cruised easily through the day. Saw squirrel. Hollywood again was my hiking buddy. Got back to hostel at night and oops was still there. We began to talk. Told her I liked her and she seemed out of sorts, behind her crew, and down. I invited her to join our crew, she accepted. 

Grafton notch to Andover East B rd.

Great hike over baldpate with some sunshine! Great day up there. Coyote and Sasquatch were there with me. Scooted over the day ten miles or so and got into Andover at pine Ellis hostel as the rains came. Stayed there with Hollywood and bearbag and isn't black coyote and oops. 

Carlo col to Grafton notch

Whole day with Hollywood, through the notch, in little over an hour. Fell a ton and ripped my packed, stuff fell out. Broke a pole. Saw miss America . Mahoosuc arm was tough but we did it. Stopped at a shelter as it started to rain, but I pushed on. I climbed old speck mtn. Lightening striking all around me. It's exposed up there above tree line . I sprinted down a tenth of a mile and set up my tent and got in. It made little sense I'm sure. . The storm lasted a hour then I climbed out and proceeded to notch met Hollywood and we hitched to the mahoosuc lodge, wet and tired. Place was nice. Ate old food.
