This week we stopped to resupply in Stratton, ME. Hostels that cater to hikers generally have a selection of old clothing you can wear while you are doing laundry, which is handy. This time the timing of showering and laundry was such that we wore our hostel clothing into the very touristy town of Rangely to do our shopping for groceries etc. I absolutely could not wear the XXXL teal scrubs that were my hostel pants into town, mostly because I could not guarantee they would stay up. So I wore my black hiking thermal pants, the brown hostel shirt, and my navy crocs. I had only used the pants to sleep in this week, so they did not smell too dirty, but I also can't say they smelled clean. Connor and the rest of our group were also wearing various forms of "hiker chic" fashions and while we were shopping around at the grocery store and at a "mountain outfitter" that was stuffed with rich 4th of July tourists buying glass animals and boxers with moose on them etc., I experienced a new feeling. We looked like a band of homeless people. At least I had showered so my hair was clean! 
Anyway the shopping trip was a success. Also at the hostel I found out that Brookie plays cribbage! So we played a few games.
This week we have some serious mountains coming up, it will be a challenge! Next Wednesday or so we will be in New Hampshire! Time is flying by.
