Appalachian Trail Day 38

Pine Knob Shelter to Ed Garvey Shelter – 16.6 miles

Wednesday November 15th, 2017

Up and at ’em bright and early! Today was cool and different because it took me through a lot of areas with civil war significance. Washington Monument State Park, (which does NOT, in fact, house THE Washington Monument. It does house A Washington Monument. Who knew there were multiples?) the Reno Monument, Fox Gap, the War Correspondents Monument in Gathland State Park… it was a very educational day of hiking! I ended the day at Ed Garvey Shelter, where Rock Turtle had spent the previous night. She left the place in pristine condition for me!

Crossing I-70 before 8am…
The Washington Monument
BRUNCH in Washington Monument State Park
I think I was getting frustrated.
Frustration resolved…
Another awesome shelter…
