What a week.
We completed Virginia, West Virginia (4 miles), Maryland, and just entered Pennsylvania crossing the Mason Dixon line.
For how short Maryland is, it was truly beautiful. They had some amazing state parks that the trail runs through.
Harper’s Ferry in West Virginia was very pretty. We visited the ATC headquarters where they take a picture of you. I was NOBO 479 or something like that. Apparently Georgia has given out 3500 plus tags this year.
Pennsylvania has been just fine. We’re almost half way done with the trail (tomorrow some Bon Jovi will be playing)! I will attempt the gallon challenge and should be hitting 1100 miles either tomorrow or the next day.
Today was rough. I had a bit too much to drink last night. Around 11 at the hotel I finally sat up and said, “I’m not feeling any better. Let’s just go” and we left. Nothing better than hiking while hung over.
Towards the end of the day we ran into a cooler that had instructions for trail magic. A group of people get together every year and host trail magic for a week. We had chicken, corn, pasta salad, beans, and cinnamon cooked apples. So. Good. We spent the remainder of the evening chatting with our fellow hikers and the hosts reminisced over past years. It was quite the pick me up from this morning’s misery.
