I had a couple days without cell service and a few technical difficulties getting the blog posts in, but here they are.

5/1/2015 13.0 Miles – 2015 Miles 68.8 – Total Trail Miles 1130.8

Not much to report today. Stayed ahead of the weather and hiked into Birch run shelter. I was hiking along wishing I could see some wildlife. I looked up and saw a big black lab running towards me… Just for a split second you can imagine what I thought it was!!! No more wishing for wildlife…lol

We made it into Pine Grove Furnace today. They have the 1/2 gal challenge here for Hikers. I did not partake even though I love ice cream. We stayed at the Iron Masters Mansion Hostel… goggle the mansion. It has a very interesting history, too much to write about. It was built in the 1800’s.

Alec Kennedy shelter tonight, about 16 miles today. Had the pleasure of a couple rock scrambles and boulder climbs. Everyone at the shelter tonight is exhausted. Night, it’s hiker midnight

Darlington Shelter 18.2 miles today, plus 0.5 for water uphill both ways. We crossed the Cumberland Valley which was pretty nice although the last 2 miles were very tough, we got here! On in the Duncannon tomorrow. I have a food drop at the Doyle hotel which is really a toilet, so it has become the Doylette. We won’t stay there but will get a burger which are supposed to be good. You never know what you’ll see on the AT, we ran into 3 super men and 1 superwoman….. safest we have been on the trail so far!!
