Day 15, July 14, 16.6 miles

YEESSS!!! Good ole Olfrie got to shed about 20 L.B.’s today and I got to slack pack southbound 16.6 miles back to the wonderful trail angel’s house for another night. I walked straight through Hanover and got 2 free donuts from Lou’s Bakery and a free slice of pizza from Romundo’s pizza place. It was a good end to a good day. With only about 10 lbs on my back, I felt like I could fly. The weather was cool to begin the day, and turned to rain at the end of the day. Knowing I was going to get a shower and wasn’t going to have a wet tent, I actually didn’t mind the rain.

Got back here to my spot on the floor in the basement and I’m about to turn in for the night.

You know that commercial, I can’t remember what it is actually advertising–I think it may be some type of insurance, but it’s a person walking around with another person attached to their back. Well, that’s me and Olfrie. She’s put all her weight back on and I’ll be lugging her around again tomorrow like an extra person on my back. Looking forward to it. 😓

Obviously an old sign
