Hello folks
I'll be starting the AT section from Harpers Ferry north to Duncannon PA. starting this Saturday (May 10th). I hope to get started in the early afternoon and make it to the Ed Garvey shelter Saturday night.
Anyone else going to be in that neck of the woods in this timeframe? I've looked at some of the journals on Trailjournals.com and I'm betting the thru-hikers won't be that far north at this point. The front of the "pack" seems to be in southern Virginia (about 700 miles out of Springer).
Anyone hear of any speed demons who may be this far up by next week? If I see them they will be passing me fast!
Any "must see" places? I think I'll have to skip the Civil War stuff (Antietim, Gettysburg, etc.) this time around. I guess I mean "must see" mountain, views, etc. perhaps a few blue blazes away. I believe the ice cream place in Pine Grove State Park is only open weekends now, so I'll probably miss out on the "half gallon club".
Anyway, I'll have a trip report to post upon my return.
