July 16 – Evening Report

Just a quick report on a very good day. The weather was ideal – cool and comfortable. My shin performed quite well despite the boulder and rock obstacle course presented by the trail.

Two great views (The Pulpit & Dan’s Pulpit). I attached a photo of Dan’s Pulpit because it looks like a mail box – in fact it is a mail box, not for sermon suggestion but for hikers to sign their visitation to the overlook.

I also attached a picture of one of the biggest pile of rocks I have ever seen located at The Pinnacle – I found the biggest rock I could lift off the trail and offered my contribution to the monument.

I am tired but I was able to hike 22.2 miles! Just a few more days and I will be out of PA.

July 16 -Back on the Trail

I decided to continue my adventure in the AT. A rabbit escorted me out of Port Clinton and a deer encouraged me half way up the climb out of the town. I have not come to a good view yet, so I just took a shot of the trail where I am. The rocks and boulders challenged me earlier this morning but right now the trail is nice and calm. I am about 4 miles from my hotel and headed toward water at the first shelter I will pass today.

If I encounter some cool parts of the AT today I might try to post again this evening. Thank you all so much for praying and to those who commentated or sent me messages, I so appreciated your words of support!!
