7/28 Resting in Gorham

0 hiked today, 1876.1 miles N, 297.9 miles left
White Birches Camp Ground Loft in Gorham, NH

Today was a town day so this entry will be brief. I spent the day taking care of the usual things; mail, resupply, and calls home.
In addition I am hoping my body can recover from the rigors of the Whites. My knees really took a beating on those rocks. They currently hurt more than ever before in my life with some motions causing audible winces. In addition to that my nausea still hasn't abated so I am hoping that gets better too.
Since these did not get much better today I have decided to spend another day in town healing. The people here are very nice with Bobby and Ashley of White Birches being very welcoming hosts. In addition one of their summer residents, Bruce/Golden Waldo who thru-hiked in '98, provides rides to help us hikers get around.
I spent the day wandering around, buying a pack-cover, and hung out with Big Muddy at the Barn.
Also staying at the barn was Tea Bags, a wonderful British hiker who was loads of fun to talk with.
For dinner James and I went to Mr. Pizza where we had a wonderful theological discussion.
I am enjoying my stay and hope I feel better after tomorrow.
