Nicholas checked in with me this afternoon. He was feeling kind of low. He had two twenty plus mile days and yesterday his feet got wet and  has some bad blisters. I told him to get some epsom salts and hot water and have a good foot soak - and not to break the blisters. He picked up the package I sent him at the Post Office in Hot Springs, NC and e said it was awesome.. I hope he takes the time to take care of his feet and recharge his spirits before going on.
