Today was supposed to be a 9.6 mile day. I decided since it was less than 10 miles, we could consider it a "recovery" day. I took naproxen both last night and this morning. Everyone was stiff when we got started, but we all felt better once we got moving. Even Trek was back to trotting back and forth. Not running, but at least trotting. We hiked at a relaxed pace, taking it easy. Part of today's hike was less rocky - yeah! It was cool & windy, but at least not rainy. We took many short breaks - our bodies needed it. Trek didn't take any naps on our breaks today. The hike was mostly level with a descent to the parking area. We didn't see many backpackers today - but 2 did stop, and they got a photo of Trek licking on of the guys in the ear. He just loves people.
Glen decided that he needs a rest day tomorrow. That will put us 1 day short of finishing Pennsylvania, so we'll have to come back again some weekend to finish a 15.5 mile section (maybe as a backpack). Tonight's dinner was at Passage to India, a vegan friendly restaurant in Harrisburg. They are actually offering a vegan Indian cooking class later this week!
