Talked to Michael this morning. He and Gumpy spent last night at
Gumpy's house. Gumpy's granddaughter was in a play and Gumpy wanted to see her so Michael went home with him for the night. The trail is very close to Gumpy's house. The rest of the crew had moved on to Gorham, NH. Michael and Gumpy were meeting them there this evening. This would be a 22 mile day for Michael and Gumpy. Both of them are tired and worn out so I am sure they are hurting tonight. Michael said even the "kids" are tired and sore. I am sure anyone who had walked almost 2000 miles would be tired and sore. Michael is actually ahead of his planned schedule. His pacing schedule had him in Gorham on July 26 but the pacing schedule had no zero or nero (near zero) days which of course are necessary. He is hiking more miles per day than he originally planned. I am so proud of him.
