Originally we planned to do a 16 mile day, but we got a late start and decided to change plans when we got to our first parking lot. I'm not going to bother to figure out which way we went. The more be bounce around, the more confusing it gets to keep track of where we're going!

We saw two hikers today that we saw yesterday. It's always fun to meet people again. We don't backpack, so its not a common occurrence for us. Today's hike started out easy, on a woods road. Then we started to get some rocks. And then more rocks. Lost of rocks. I slowed way down. On the bright side, we had nice weather. No rain! We are going to bounce around even more - trying to do our longer hikes on good days and our shorter hikes on wetter days.

Trek is still not wanting to eat breakfast. The lunch time snacks are helping though. I want to make sure he gets enough calories in him so he can fuel his hike too. Tonight's dinner ended up coming from a grocery store. No Wegmans in Harrisburg. Sad. Tomorrow is going to be a really, really long day.

Lovely trail - notice the lack of rocks


Getting rockier


And rockier - yes this is the trail
