Day 57 & 58- all over the place!

My hiking adventure is going a little crazy right now and is flipping from north to south a lot because Bomber is leaving and I have to meet Ryan in Hanover in the next few days. Also, I woke up this morning and realized that the hot tub was a bad idea for me because it put even more heat into my already inflamed knees. I woke up from the pain and could barely walk, so I figured it was a good time to take a little break anyway. Susan made us ham, egg, and cheese biscuits for breakfast = a very happy belly of mine. Bomber and I made a cairn with blue blazes (marking a place off the Appalachian Trail) for her driveway as a gift and I made a trifle for her since her 50th birthday is in just a few days. We all had a family dinner and laughed like crazy around the table. One of Susan's sons, Killian, took pictures of us and put them in the Fat Booth, which basically makes you look like you've gained 200 pounds. Haha Bomber's was the best!
The second day, Bomber and I had to drive to Hanover to pick up his car. We got a little lost on the way and then I saw a sign for fresh milk and excitedly made Bomber turn the car around. Doing the things that I want to do spontaneously is something that I have learned from the trail. Even just weeks ago I would have driven by the sign but now I'm doing a u-turn in the road to find fresh milk. Haha we never ended up finding the milk, but the hunt was fun :) At the end of the day, Mosey texted me and Bomber and I went to pick him up and whisk him away to Susan's for the night. I missed Mosey sooooo much! Susan made a scrumptious German meal for dinner and we all had a lovely evening full of smiles and talking. I fell asleep late and slept well. Tomorrow I go to Hanover to get ready to meet Ryan. Yay!!!
