A shortened day into town. Vermont said goodbye kindly, offering us a nice, easy hike through the woods. Passed through Norwich, VT and crossed the Connecticut River into New Hampshire. 12 states down, 2 to go.
It was mentally difficult coming into Hanover, NH because I was so zoned out from the trail. That happens a lot when I come directly from hiking into having to interact, to speak, to assess situations, and to make decisions. It takes the mind a few hours to change gears so sometimes getting into town is tough upon first arrival.
Anyway, we walked around town, a college town, a noisy, crowded place. Grabbed a cheeseburger and a beer as I am wont to do then stopped by an outfitter, got some new pants, hurrah!
We found a hiker board that listed names of people in town who let hikers stay at their place. Called this dude Warren who came and picked us up and took us to his place. So generous that people do this. Got the ever-awesome shower and laundry. Tomorrow I'll do some more gear shopping. Gotta get some things and stuff.
Staying at Warren Thayer's place in Norwich.
