Graymoor Spiritual Life Center to RPH Shelter – 18.8 miles
Saturday September 20th, 2014
Definitely feeling drained today. The past two days have been rougher than I anticipated but hopefully there is relief in sight! The scouts got up very early and packed up and were gone before I was out of my tent. I was one of the last hikers to leave… followed only by my fellow Phish fan Dirty Bird. Today’s hike was much less eventful than yesterday’s. I encountered a friendly gnome on my travels but otherwise it was an uneventful day as far as I can recall. I reached the RPH Shelter on Horntown Road (“Ralph’s Peak Hiker Cabin”) as rain was threatening and I think this may be the first time I actually slept inside a shelter. I was fortunate enough to meet the legendary southbound thru-hiker Maxheap and enjoy a few moments of conversation. Also sharing the cabin with us were two younger guys in Pink Floyd tshirts who borrowed Max’s phone to order pizza delivered to the shelter.
