Gorham at red dot

Another rainy day, another zero day, unfortunately.  Dave is still in Gorham, NH, and was bored and getting anxious. He did not want to stay off the trail this long, and he sees his schedule slipping. He's chiefly concerned about making it to Katahdin before bad weather sets in, and every day he loses now pushes his schedule later into September.

He split his food supplies and mailed himself a box he'll pick up in Caratunck, ME.  He watched a Matt Damon movie and CNN to catch up on the news.  He had a small dinner - a dehydrated and rehydrated lasagna and he bought himself a cold beer.  He said the sun came out in the late afternoon, and now he's excited about getting back on the trail.

Today (08/16/11) I have not heard from him, so I'm guessing the weather improved and he was able to start hiking again.  We knew he may not be able to call as he is hiking over Wildcat Mountain.
