We slept in at the Days Inn at Lebanon New Hampshire. Was a great day spent in Hanover on Friday with John Jr. He also was my advocate in getting me a 14 day treatment for a bad tick bite. We are so grateful for all the help he gave us.
We got back on the trail at 1pm after a 4.5 mile walk to the trailhead.
The ticks are worse than anything else on the trail. If I had known how bad they were going to be on The AT I would have reconsidered this quest. Lyme disease is a serious illness.
So Armed with deet and sunscreen to prevent burns from the sun due to the tick medication on what little skin I have exposed, hands, face, neck, we headed out to the trail.
I caught a big tick climbing on my feet sprayed sock and Dan pulled one that was just starting to bury itself in my feet sprayed skin.
