Day 62, July 16, 2014

12 AT miles.

We hiked into Boiling Springs. Tuna and I did sprints for about 100 yds and completed 15 of them. What a picturesque cloudy day.

Pizza was amazing at Anile's ristorante and pizzeria. I split a large with Tuna and got a cheese steak sub to go. The fellow hikers I was with hung their cell phones from the exit sign outlet to charge them. Anile's also took our 6 pack of beer that we bought from the bar and served them to us free of charge in cafeteria cups. They were extremely kind to us!

We stayed at the AT hiker campground in a back area of a corn  field. There was a nice large handicapped porta potty to use the restroom as well.

FYI. PA alcohol laws are rather different. Beer can only be bought at the bars. They limit you to two six packs and then you can walk out the door, drop them off and come back for more. Also, wine and liquor must be bought at a distillery. Thus, no alcohol at gas stations or grocery stores. 

We called it an early night.


Previous nights shelter.


James Fry the night before.


Nicest mouse food hang I've seen thus far in a shelter.


Train! Climb it!! I got stung by a bee running through the field to get to the train :(.


Everyday is leg day on the AT!


Miss post earlier. This is the rock maze in PA.


Climb!


Tuna acting cray!


Boom!


World Cup 2014! Go USA! Tim Howard beast like!!


Tuna up ahead.


Beautiful! Grass hoppers galore when you took a step. Hundreds moved out of the way while taking a step.


Mother Nature.


Boiling Springs, PA. Veteran memorial.


Tuna a veteran, honoring a Medal of Honor recipient.


Boiling Springs history.


The main Boiling Spring. Together with several springs, they pump 26 million gallons of water out daily. Unbelievable.


Hiker trash at the pizzeria. You got electricity? We have phones that need charge :). 


Large pizza.


Tuna and I like Peter Pan.


What should I take from this resupply? Food is heavy... I only need 3 days... What can I give to others? The post office drop package dilemma.
