I started out the day with an AWESOME omelette in downtown Mexico.
Jay treated me to breakfast before he dropped me back at his store to continue on my trek.
I made my way west along route 2 until I got to the Visitor Center of Rumford and hung out with my good buddy, Paul Bunyan.
Then, I headed to Hanover and got some lunch at Gordie Howe's Restaurant? Nope, not THAT one.
This is the town where I had the unique opportunity of dropping into the Public Library and visit with a quilting group as they worked on their next project.
They offered me some hot chocolate as I sat with them discussing the mission trip and the reason for it.
At this point, I knew I was a bit too far away from the next town to get much further. So, I hiked about 1 or 2 more miles and found a cozy little spot in the trees just to the left of the road.
This is by far the closest I've ever slept to the road. The trees were SO THICK that I was barely 15 yards from the cars. But, there was NO WAY anyone was going to spot me in those woods.
Once I got camp set up, I pulled out my phone and to my amazement, I ACTUALLY HAVE A SIGNAL!! WOOHOOO!!!!
This is the absolute FIRST time on this whole trip that my phone (Sprint) has worked. So, needless to say, I spent the next couple of hours draining my battery as I called friends that I haven't talked to since before I began.
It was a good night. :)
