Smudgy Cheeks Day 77 (Sunday, June 12th, 2016)


Today I hiked nine miles to the next town.  I'm staying at St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Cheshire, MA tonight.  I have a food drop to pick up tomorrow.

The hike was through beautiful woods.  I do feel better today.  I made sure that I drank a lot of water.  I think some of my problem yesterday was that I was getting too dehydrated.  When it's cold I don't feel thirsty and forget to drink.  I'll make sure I don't make that mistake again.   

I'm glad I'm here because I got a big sore on my bad ankle and I don't know what it is.  My sister helped me find a clinic that I am going to go to tomorrow.  I have to take a few buses through a few different towns to get there but I'm pretty sure I need a doctor to see this!
