Well we had an interesting few days on and off the trail. Just a few days after leaving Monson I (Laura... aka Grinner) came down with a pretty uh... lets just say violent stomach bug. I was rescued by Dawn, the owner of Shaw's in Monson, who took me back to her hostel, put me up in the nicest room, and took me to the Hospital where I learned I "probably don't" have Ghiardia- the most feared disease on the trail.
While I recovered, Shawn went ahead to the next trail town, Stratton, where we reunited yesterday. Really, we planned to meet here Sunday morning but Shawn (Picker) and our good trail friend Doc Geo decided to do big days to get here, including one day over 20 miles! We're taking today to rest and will be back on the trail TOGETHER tomorrow. Hopefully we will have good health and smooth trails from now on!
