Thursday August 31, 2023. Sunny, breezy, 72, low humidity.
Up at 7:15. Slept ok. Out at 8:30.
Hiked 1.7 miles to Green Mountain general store for breakfast, coffee, snacks, and water. 9:15. Bought two 700ml bottles. Bought a second sandwich still hungry 🙂
Got moving at 10:00. No water until boiling springs in 12 miles. Tough day. Big rock scramble, steep up’s and downs, and just a lot of miles including 2 miles through corn fields with lots of sun. Took a lot of breaks as feet were hurting. Last 3 miles or so were a death march.
Made it to Boiling Springs about 4:30. Texted my nephew Jeff. He lives about 20 minutes away and I am open ding the night at is house with the family. Got a latte at Cafe 101 and talked to Pitcrew while waiting.
Jeff picked me up and drove me to his house in Dillsburg, PA. Had a nice dinner with Jeff, Angie, and the kids. Got a much needed shower, did laundry. In bed at 11:30. Not much sleep though.
