Hannover, NH

The span from Rutland to the confetti it river was full of short, steep climbs that made us reminiscent of New York and Virginia. Walking down the streets of Norwich and seeing the river below us was invigorating. We were about to enter the thirteenth state! As our feet crossed the boundary my hands flew up in exclamation, cars honked their horns and people's smiled, the town rejoiced in our accomplishment. Once up the hill we came onto the main green of Dartmouth's campus. The university is beautifully designed, and I was tempted to stay a while. Hannover is an affluent town but we managed to find a delicious ( and affordable) pizza buffet. Afterwards we camped behind the university's soccer fields and then resupplied at the local co-op. It's amazing that over the span of four months we have traversed 1,700 miles, 12 states and four regions.  Only four hundred left to go and two states between us and our final victory, summiting Katahdin.
