The cold crept in and caught me off guard last night. Was up with a fire at 5 and out on trail by 6:30. After a short day today 8.5 miles to toms run shelter for lunch and a nap then a 7 mile yellow blaze from hell... Caught a hitch from a lady who swore she knew where I needed to go. 45 min into the Pa country side she decides she doesn't know where she's going and dumps me by some random tiny airport in Carslile Pa .. Luckily caught a 2nd hitch from an old eagle scout who knew right where I was trying to go,(thanks a lot Brent) Staying at Alex Kennedy shelter tonight. Tomorrow 4 mile push into Boiling Springs Pa for my mail drop and a crazy dinner theatre at this local hostel. Gonna start hitting farm country soon, over 70 miles of it. Easy terrain only conceals what's ahead.
