Fort Franklin Road to Hawk Mountain Road – 9.3 miles
The rocks… that’s all I remember. Deliriously belting out every song we knew containing anything to do with rocks… For Those About to Rock, I Wanna Rock, Like a Rolling Stone… etc. It kept us occupied until we reached our extraction point at Hawk Mountain Road by the Eckville Shelter, which I hear is quite lovely.
This was the end of my first outing on the Appalachian Trail. I knew it wouldn’t be my last. I was still curious about it and wanted to experience more. A few weeks later I would be back on the trail heading north… with a different companion.
Wherever I May Roam
