Today I entered the mountains of NH! After taping my injured right knee I found my legs spunky and ready for anything. I cruised up about 15 miles of slopes in about 2 hours or so and found myself in a stream, taking an 'ice' bath (thanks Mike!). Originally I was going to purchase a camp ground but after talking to a couple local campers they said that I only needed to do that if I was going to build a fire. So, I just found a nice piece of grass right off the stream and pitched my tent.
The encouragement and energy of the people on the Kancamagus mountains was amazing. With every corner there was an amazing view and people honking while sticking a 'thumbs up' out their window (at least I thought it was a thumbs up, maybe not?). There were people offering me food when I stopped and beer at the end of the day! It was quite lovely. There was one point when I stopped and met this lady who wanted some credentials of some kind. I am going to have to make up some business cards and get them sooner rather than later. I think I will ask my brother to do something about this. Overall a good day!
