It is such cold morning that I have to wear gloves almost till midday. My first stop is by Rumford Falls - this water falls is the highest in eastern are from Niagara Falls Is situated on Androscoggin River. This area was occupied by native americans - Anasagunticook. At evening I am warmed up by admire of a small group of young people on the top of Mahoosuc Range at Grafton Notch State Park. A few minutes later I am entering state of NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Morning a light shower is changing to rain. I have to keep going at least to only one town where I suppose to find a public library. In the cold rain I went about 20 miles. Librarian was so kind and turned on heating so I could dry out my stuff. It was raining for the whole day. I went just about 4 miles behind this town. At 16:30 o'clock I already was in a sleeping bag - only a warm place here.

I built a tent on the lawn behind Jefferson Ville by Whiteness of Jewish at 15:30. It is raining for the rest of day.

After 56 hours I can see Sun again. I take this opportunity to dry out my stuff. About 14:00 I am climbing Mt. Manfield. In this State is value-added tax = 0 and State does not pay any money to State Parks, so even bikers have to pay enter's fee. Not like in Maine. Mountain is not high but it is a great overlook from the summit.
