Live Free or Die

We have finally made it to New Hampshire.
After riding along the Coast for a couple of days, at long last we got to turn inland and it's much warmer away from the North Atlantic. Lauren and I have come roughly 170 miles since our last update and the weather has been fantastic this is the first day that it has been Hot and it's just now jumping up into the mid-eighties.
The cell phones were out of commission until yesterday because the solar cell phone charger never has a chance to get any sun when all of the roads are nearly covered over with trees.
Our stove has run out of fuel and we're now burning Kerosene which you can buy just like diesel here, from a separate pump at the gas station.
for lunch the other day Lauren and I ate PB&J sandwiches I washed mine down with Hersheys chocolate milk which is the best pre-mixed chocolate milk ever. Immediately following lunch we ascended a big hill that we didn't need to only to turn around and go back down, a few minutes later I threw up, now Lauren won't let me have any more chocolate milk.
the next day we ate a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza which came with roughly a pound of fresh cut french fries (think In'N'Out fries but much thicker and crispier) we ate all that we could and then a bit more. Then we rode another 40 miles and fell sound asleep in a motel room.
it was our first motel of the trip and I'm not sure about it. My thought is 'If you're tired enough you'll sleep well anywhere' but Lauren counters with 'I worked hard enough to deserve this'.
She won last night.
No luck yet on internet cafe's but there's a hostel around here someplace so we'll go try that.
tomorrow we'll be going up kancamagus pass, which at under three thousand feet doesn't sound all that bad (a'la fernwood, with fully loaded panniers,) it's pretty steep and should suck more than a little.
Lauren keeps breaking the clips that attach her panniers to her rack but I'll just keep fixing them, the only downside is that one side is permanently attached, this won't be a big deal until we want to get on a train. When I was building Lauren's bike I set it up like her road bike only with the handlebars a bit higher, well they're still to far away for this type of riding so we'll be spending this afternoon riding the five miles to the nearest bike shop.
Our butts hurt but there's good ice cream all over the place here.
