Day 14 (July 8th)

Made 15 tough miles in New Hampshire today. And these are the small warm-up mountains...  The big ones are to come. I need to carry plenty of water up, and I'm usually drenched in sweat half way up. Stopped at Bill Ackerly's place today. He is famous for offering ice cream, water, and games of croquet. Friendly octogenarian. His front porch was filled with thru-hikers coming and going. Going to try and get a good night's rest in order to tackle a few more miles tomorrow. Take care.
