Day 30: our last day on the trail :(

we woke up in a cloud because we were in the mountains, and got an early start to the day (7 of us on the trail by 8...well 8:14). It was a 6 mile hike to the road which takes you into town. we started hiking with everybody, because we had a silly plan: whenever we passed by another hiker, Jack Rabbit would play "Chariots of Fire" on his iPod and we would all hike dramatically in slow motion past them. To add to the awkwardness, Larb and Handstand didn't wear pants. Good times. We parted ways because we had a cottage reserved in Peru, VT and they had to go to Manchester Center (laundry, post office). awe checked into Johnny Seesaw's, which was a nice ski lodge and restaurant, and they even picked us up at the trail. We showered, lounged, started eating peanut butter and nutella out of jars then decided to go into town for some real food. called a taxi service and got a ride from a crazy man named Leonard. We ate at Friendly's (3rd time) then met our friends at the laundry mat.  Doing laundry on the trail can be awkward, because everything you have is filthy, and you want to wash it...so you end up wearing nothing but rain coat and rain pants (Raindancer), or swim trunks. I wish i had a picture of this scene. Then, we hung out in the motel room they were all sharing, ate some pizza, watched some Lord of the Rings, then I got a migrane and we said our goodbyes :( went back to our cottage and crashed for the night.
