It was a sunny morning. I was drying my things. Carol was checking the camp. The water level of Echo Lake had risen and flooded the camp's dock. For the rest of my journey, I could see fallen trees in all the states I travelled through.

It was such a cold morning that I had to wear gloves almost until midday. My first stop was at Rumford Falls - one of the highest waterfalls in the eastern United States apart from Niagara Falls. It is situated on the Androscoggin River. This area was once inhabited by Native Americans - the Anasagunticook. In the evening, I was cheered by the admiration of a small group of young people at the top of the Mahoosuc Range in Grafton Notch State Park. A few minutes later, I entered the state of NEW HAMPSHIRE.

By noon, I had entered the state of VERMONT. I reached the Canadian border twice and then turned south. I spent the night on the lawn of a man whose birthday was that day.

In the morning, a light shower turned into steady rain. I had to keep going at least as far as the next town, where I hoped to find a public library. I cycled about 20 miles in the cold rain. The librarian was very kind and turned on the heating so that I could dry my things. It rained all day. I went only about 4 miles beyond the town. By 16:30, I was already in my sleeping bag - the only warm place around.

It was cloudy, but at least it was not raining. I decided to climb the highest mountain in the state of VERMONT - Mt Mansfield - the next day, when it was supposed to be sunny. The mountain is in Underhill State Park. At 15:30, I pitched my tent on a lawn beyond Jefferson Ville, with the permission of a Jewish family. It rained for the rest of the day.

After 56 hours, I could finally see the sun again. I took the opportunity to dry my things. At about 14:00, I climbed Mt. Mansfield. In this state, there was no sales tax and the state did not provide funding for State Parks, so even cyclists had to pay an entrance fee - unlike in Maine. The mountain is not very high, but there is a great view from the summit.

I stopped in Burlington, which is situated on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain. There are cycling paths around the lake.
