Oct. 16-18 - gray squirrel sleeping on his chin? you decide:

OCT 16
17.1 miles. There's a fair going on at pine grove state park. Stop at the store for lunch. Decline to do the half gallon challenge. Pass the 2016 AT midpoint but see no notice of such. Fescue celebrates and I share nips Melanie sent with last resupply with everyone at birch run shelter. Fescue and I are on charge to get to harpers ferry Thursday night.

19.6 miles and a mile into the diner. I had creamed chipped beef on toast just like mom used to make. Half a dozen SOBO hikers at Tumbling run shelter tonight. Really? They think they are going to beat winter to Springer?

Long day lots of ups and downs. Had to carry water a lot. 18.1 miles Cowall Shelter. MARYLAND! I have now hiked in every state that the AT goes through. Got up to 80 degrees today. We are planning on arriving in harpers ferry with no food left in our bags. We are about there. There two cans of sardines in the shelter. If I didn't have to carry the empty can I would open one. Just made reservations at the Teahorse Hostel for Thursday and Friday night. At this point I'm hoping all the gear and my body hold together until I get to HF. seems like a lot of aches and pains.
