Where’s Tim on Day 11? [ May 13th]
For those of you following along at home, May 13th was day 11 on the trail. Tim has hiked about 100 miles so far and lost 10 pounds. His pack weighs about 33 pounds give or take water and food. He hiked from the James Frye Shelter to the Allenberry Inn (great rate for hikers) in Boiling Springs PA. Tomorrow (Thursday) he’ll hike about 15 miles to sleep at the Darlington Shelter and then wake up and hike about 11 miles to Duncannon, PA to the famous Doyle Hotel on Friday. That was the plan anyway. Except he has a slight cold and decided to take a break after 7.6 miles and spend the afternoon and evening (Friday) at Cove Mtn Shelter. Those rocks are killer!
The Doyle is an exciting rest stop because his super light (14 oz.) Thermarest Z Sol lite sleep pad should be there waiting for him (fingers crossed). Hopefully the pad will provide a little bit of comfort for his body even if it can’t make things better for his feet!
Tim says Boiling Springs is a beautiful town with a crystal clear lake in the center of town which the trail goes right by. He enjoyed watching, ducks, geese and swans swimming in the water.
Tim reported this evening that he saw and heard a piliated wood pecker. He said it was one big bird. That’s the one Woody was modeled on.
Big thanks to all those who have contributed. He is looking forward to purchasing trekking poles as PA trail is made up of rocks, rocks and more rocks!
Lost the trail for a little while after taking this pic!
Nice Rock Formation
Will update when he has cell service again.
