Pen Mar Park to Pine Knob Shelter – 17.7 miles Tuesday November 14th, 2017 This was a fun hike… I set out with Rock Turtle, who started at a different location than I did because she’d already done some of the miles that I was going to do, so she basically had an 18 mileContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 37”

Appalachian Trail Day 36
Antietam Shelter to Pen Mar County Park – 7.4 miles April 20th, 2017 The final miles of PA! It felt great to finally be finishing my third state, and the longest one I had done yet. 229 miles in PA and I hiked them all! Passed the Deer Lick Shelters which were as impressive asContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 36”
Appalachian Trail Day 35
Michener Cabin to Antietam Shelter – 24 miles Wednesday April 19th, 2017 Happy Birthday Mom! Today I learned another valuable lesson. Just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean that you SHOULD do something. 24 miles seemed like a great idea at the time but at the end of the day I came limping intoContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 35”

Sheet Iron Roof Road to Michener Cabin – 17.8 miles Tuesday April 18th, 2017 This was a fun day… and a long day! I really enjoyed myself, and not just because it was Bob’s birthday! Happy Birthday Bob! I think I might have my locations a bit mixed up because I believe I started todayContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 34”
Appalachian Trail Day 33
Trindle Road to Campsite near Sheet Iron Roof Road – 12.2 miles Monday, April 17th, 2017 Happy birthday to me! I love spending birthdays alone in the woods. Not sure if I got the exact campsite correct because I managed to lose the pages I’d printed from my trail guide and therefore didn’t mark anyContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 33”
Appalachian Trail Day 32
Cove Mountain Shelter to PA 641 Trindle Road – 17.5 miles Thursday, November 16th, 2016 Today was pretty cool. The trail went through some pretty nice fields, pastures, and farms, crossed over Interstate 81 and the PA turnpike. About ten miles into my hike I was greeted by Rock Turtle, who had kindly driven downContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 32”
Appalachian Trail Day 31
Powerline to Cove Mountain Shelter – 12.7 miles November 16th, 2016 Today I crossed the Susquehanna River and headed into Duncannon to check out the legendary trail stop… the Doyle Hotel. The trail is flat for three miles as it crosses the river and heads right through town and I made pretty good time. TheContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 31”
Appalachian Trail Day 30
PA 325 to Powerline – 9 miles Tuesday, November 15th, 2016 It’s been seven months but I’m back again, this time heading southbound from where I last left off in Pennsylvania after the pack rash episode on Day 19. I drove back to PA 325 and hiked south 9 miles… past the Shikellamy Trail thatContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 30”
Appalachian Trail Day 29
Sharon Mountain Campsite to CT 112 – 3.2 miles Thursday, April 14th, 2016 Today I got to ride in a convertible Mustang!😄 I was planning on hiking solo to make it to Salisbury by the end of the day but fortunately I didn’t have to thanks to the generosity of a stranger. Western CT isContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 29”
Appalachian Trail Day 28
Silver Hill Campsite to Sharon Mountain Campsite – 9.1 Wednesday, April 13th, 2016 Not exactly sure if Sharon Mountain Campsite was the actual site or not but due to poor record keeping it’s my best guess. Rock Turtle’s knee was not happy with hiking today and I felt bad seeing it limit her so much.Continue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 28”
