(I forgot what happened on day 77 that’s worth writing about so I’m skipping it. I’m a bad blogger)
Miles today: 14.7
Total miles: 981.5
We planned to go into town in Hamburg PA to resupply today. We had a pretty easy five or so miles to the road going into Hamburg. I got there to find Blondie sitting waiting. I stood talking to him and not two minutes later a car pulled up asking us if we needed a ride into town. When hitching we always joke that we should just put down our thumbs when fancy BMWs and such drive by as they are unlikely to stop. Well we were proved wrong because this car that stopped for us when we weren’t even hitching was a Mercedes! Score. The guy was friendly and a little rough around the edges (as we put our packs in his trunk with his fishing stuff he said “break the pole and ill bash your head in…. Hahahaha”). We were also told that we smelled worse than a mule. And he said he used to work with mules so he would know. What a nice guy! He dropped us off at Walmart where we resupplied. I was ecstatic to discover a Five Guys in the same plaza as Walmart. I am a five guys fanatic so I freaked out about it. It was Blondies first five guys experience which was exciting too. I was surprised and also disappointed in myself when I could only manage to eat one burger and a regular size fry. We spent some time in town and then headed out around 330 to hike nine miles to the shelter. Like any day that includes five guys, it was a good day.
