My poor hat!
Another day in PA! Not a lot happened again, we just hiked some more good miles. We met a woman hiking Northbound with her dog who has been on the trail since May 25th – making good progress. She said she was number 1350 through Harper’s Ferry (the official unofficial half-way point, and something we find interesting to know how many of the ~3000 northbound hikers that start the trail made it that far. It also gives us a very rough idea of how many hikers we may have passed going the other way. Although, there are also quite a few “flip-flop”ers – people who are doing the whole trail but not one end to the other). Megan is having a little bout of shin splints that we’re hoping to nip in the bud.
Reader question:
What has been your best “bang for your buck” meal?
A: We had nearly free meals in the Huts of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. All we had to do was a bit of work! Example “all you can eat” meal: soup, fresh bread w/ butter, lasagna, salad, green beans, and hot chocolate.
what work did you have to do for that? dig some graves?
How did you manage to totally trash your hat?
It’s been quite overgrown in PA and I keep snagging it on thorns… I’ve also headbutted a couple branches which didn’t help 🙂
