Day 7 – Darlington Shelter to PA 850

Saturday September 2, 2023. 

Up at 6:45. Noisy neighbors. Called Pitcrew at 7:15. I’m only hiking 2.5 miles today and she will pick me up.

Asshole neighbors partying till midnight. Rude Amish hikers arrived at 10:00pm shining lights into shelter, talking loudly, making tons of noise. Woke up at 6:30 to 4 middle-eastern hikers making breakfast, using shelter as storage, talking loud, and being obnoxious.

Hiked to parking lot about 2.5 miles away on PA 850. Got there at 9:25. Pitcrew picked me up at 10:00.

Decided to call the hike early mainly due to the timing. If I went into Duncannon, Pitcrew would not be able to pick me up until 17:00 or later, and it is Labor Day. We want to be home to enjoy the evening with friends.
