Breezing through PA

TDS is moving through Pennsylvania so fast, he hasn't had time to stop and update his journal or blog. Apparently, the weather has been cooler and drier, making for better hiking.

After completing a mind-numbing 34-mile day on Friday 6/22, TDS arrived at the landmark Doyle Hotel in Dunncannon for some well deserved rest. In case you're not familiar with The Doyle, it's an old Anheuser-Busch hotel that has never gone through any kind of rennovation in its 100 or so years. The Doyle's clientelle is almost exclusively AT hikers. It's a little rough around the edges, but it's a wonderful and fun place to stay on the AT.

More good news: TDS has acquired a Bell Yellowstone canoe from an outfitter in Ely, MN. Get this - they're shipping it to NY, where TDS will pick it up and start canoeing!

Hopefully, he'll be able to share some thoughts and reflections with us before embarking on the NFCT part of his journey!
