It has been quite a while since my last post. I believe since Stratton ME! Well I have been cruising right along, and am currently at the Bears Den Hostel 20miles south of Harpers Ferry. Less than 1000 to go! It seems that in the last couple weeks everything has finally come together - mental, physical, and nutritional. Planning on getting to Rockfish Gap around the 21 or so to go home (to MA) for xmas. The miles are sure going by a lot quicker now, and I am very excited to get back into some mountains in a couple days. I don't know what the big deal with PA is, the state is flat as a pancake (only good climb Lehigh Gap), and in case nobody noticed there are a lot of rocks on almost all of the 1200 miles that I have hiked so far. I think maybe people complain about the rocks because there are no hills to complain about :)
Anyways, I hope to get some response on the shenandoah conditions thread. I had no idea Harpers Ferry was such a beautiful town! I enjoyed very much passing through there.
