Summary
We've had visitors this week. One had a shirt for me while Trigger's boys drove 16 hours to hike seven miles with us.
The heat in New England has been stifling and certainly took a toll on us. However, the further north we go, the cooler the temperatures should be.
No more immediate visitors so we have an opportunity to put in more good miles in the coming days.

| 1:58.4 | So we found Joe's diner in Lee, which was just the sort of thing we need. |
| 2:01.5 | Apparently, the Joe's diner had been around for 50 years, |
