Day 35 of AT in PA NOBO

AT pedestrian bridge over Rt 11 in Carlisle (1,132.6) to Downtown Duncannon (1,150.3)
Total Miles: 17.7

Slept in a little bit for the first time in awhile. Went across the street to Dunkin’ for breakfast before walking the 0.5 mile back to the AT overpass.
Overcast and 40 degrees with some drizzle still in the air. Its supposed to stop by midday.
The first 5 miles of the day heading north were very flat. More farmlands and walking along a river. Then, a fairly big hill up to the top of a peak where Darlington Shelter is. Then, relatively flat to downhill the rest of the day.
Based on my late start, not sure I was going to reach Duncannon by sundown. But I trekked in right at 6pm, pitched my tent in the backyard of one of the churches and went over to the rustic but quaint Doyle Hotel for dinner (see pic). Was a Saturday nite, so sat at a table in the bar area where it was relatively full.
Sleep by 10pm as an early rise tomorrow.Baca lagi
