Miles today:4
Total miles 1047.4
We planned to go about 11 miles today after resupplying and doing laundry in town. We got up and had some delicious breakfast where we ran into even more SOBOs: Han SOBO and Noodles who had just gotten back on trail after a wedding, skipping ahead to Duncannon from CT. it’s great to be catching up to more people after feeling behind for so long. As is usual in town we were being lazy and slow moving and took a while to buy the food we needed and do our laundry. It was also so incredibly hot out for October–mid 80s and humid, so we were less than motivated to hike. I looked up what time the ice cream place opened and when we found out it was 2 we decided to wait around for it. I had a delicious two scoop cone. Both Blondie and Delta had a milkshake AND two scoops of ice cream. Then we had to hike. Which started with of course a nice big uphill out of town. It was so humid and hot that we all got so sweaty immediately, almost defeating the purpose of us doing laundry in town. Oh well. The guys all convinced me to give in and only do four so we stayed at the first shelter rather than walk seven more, arriving at what would have been a late time, after 7.
