Of course, this means I had to also say goodbye to Sophie and Annabelle. I don't think I should ask my new helper to lick my face. Of course, I never have to ask Sophie or Annabelle.
We have enjoyed the hospitality of a host of hosts since my last day off. Yes, I took a rest day today. The day began with ice, and although it warmed later, I would have had to hike a shorter day. I was feeling very tired, and decided to actually rest.
Anyway, here are the most recent people who have graciously offered us a place to stay, and often fed us as well. The first is Carie (and Wade who had already left for work).
Next up was Shawn (and Charlie).
Then Trudy (and Mark). Trudy also hiked with me for part of a day.
After that, we went to Susan and Layne's house.
Yes, we've moved a lot. Where we stayed for longer times before, the trail curved around a location. Where it's more linear, we have to move more often or the drives get too long. Also, I'm never posting our current location to somewhat protect our hosts' privacy. But we sure appreciate those of you who have let us stay on your property. You are making this adventure possible.
Finally, since I didn't hike today, I met Tom Moutsos for lunch. He's the (relatively) new Regional Trail Coordinator for Ohio and Pennsylvania. We had a great chat, and a mighty good meal.
Tomorrow, it's back on the trail. I'm ready.

Aww, Sophie is so sweet.
Glad there have been so many helpful people along your route.
What a wonderful bunch of people helping you along the way. Glad you took a rest day and didn't venture out in the icy conditions. In suspense waiting for the next post... April
Ann- she sure is!
April- I really needed the rest.
