White Birches Camp Ground Loft in Gorham, NH
Today I was again treated to a delightful breakfast at the Chapman Inn. Fred made a sautéd mushroom and baby spinich omlete with a side of home fries. With that I got a fresh wild blueberry muffin and a collection of sliced melons. I really hate to leave this great breakfast a beautiful location behind but I am burning though cash very uickly standing still. In fact it cost as much per day to sit in town here as it cost to hike for a week. As a result to save money I caught a ride back to Gorham where housing is only $11 a night. Before I left though I bought and baked a pizza to eat and did my laundry so that I would spend even less today.
Bruce arrived a little before noon to take me back to The Loft where I spent most of today.
The Loft is packed so they are using one of their very very nice cabins as overflow space.
I spent most of today napping proably sleeping 6 or so hours of the day I think more to escape the heat than anything else.
I am feeling much better today though not perfect and I still get a little queasy walking around too much. If my progress continues I think I may be able to hike tomorrow! That has me a bit worried because that is sooner than I exspected.
The other thing that happened today is that I got the test results back from the Dr.; it is gardia as he had guessed so I should be better soon.
All of this standing still has me frustrated to all heck. I have been getting homesick to a degree I suppose and it seems that the closer I get to the end the slower I hike. I have gone from an average of 15 miles a day last month to 10 a day for the two weeks of the Whites to now 20 miles in 7 days. Much slower and I will be hiking backwards (in fact I did go back a town today). I really hope I am doing good tomorrow because I really need to get moving again or I may go nuts!

giardia! That's horrible. And you were really good at treating your water. At least Gorham is a nice place to lay up a few days. I hope you finally get through Maine. Though there are a number of houses for sale in Gorham. How about the place with the mini-golf?
I found a picture of the little beastie; no wonder you're feeling miserable. I hope you're soon back on the road. Marjorie
