Fredericton   |   Accommodation: The Fort Nashwaak Motel, 15 Riverside Drive Fredericton NB

Today I get caught up on chores: the last of the gear that has dried is organized and packed, and all gear requiring more time to dry is placed onto base heaters. The upcoming stretch of walking to Moncton is mapped out, and distances with resources are itemized. The food is portioned out for each day of walking, and all clothing that requires mending is made. By 1:00 I am ready to head out for a slow, relaxed walk around the city, with coffee acquired. I make sure to walk the “Westmorland Street” bridge, walking to “Picaroons,” a local brewing company I’ve wanted to check out that is within walking distance of the motel. I return to the room by 3:30, where I transcribe three days of written notes and post two days to the blog. I finish up by 9:30, writing out the day in the journal. As tonight is my last in the city of Fredericton, I put much time and energy into planning out the upcoming 200 km to the city of Moncton. I have found a route along secondary highways that pass through towns with resources. If all goes well, I will walk five days of 40 km, where I will hopefully enter Moncton in five days—this Friday, for two nights in the city!

Today’s distance walked: 11.19 km    |    Total distance walked: 1,647.66 km
