Andover

Hey,

Stopped in Andover to pick up re-supply before doing a 5 day walk out of Maine into New Hampshire. Maine is about 300 miles long, and one of the larger states. It has felt like we were never gonna get out of it, but it's close enough to almost touch it now, feels good.

Next Town is Gorham in New Hampshire, i will hopefully update you on our Maine exit next.

Bugs have died down now a bit, but the weather is still hot. Weather is good up until next Tuesday, which is nice. Hopefully we can walk South with the nice weather all the way!

Nicole's birthday was great, we had balloons on the trail, hanging off her pack to help lift it off her back, and then we stopped in a town for food etc....

We're meeting so many nice people along the way, we're always in great company and enjoying getting to know our fellow thru-hikers.

Keep the comments coming, nice to hear from you all (Y'all!).

Nic and G
