Today started off good and is ending miserably. Boiling springs pa for mail drop and pizza. Had planned to take a zero day and stay in a hostel for the night but decided to press on anyways. 2 miles outside of boiling springs Bella gets bit by something and decides she aint walking anywhere. Luckily we were close to a road crossing where we caught a hitch into mechanicsburg Pa to see a vet. Turns out it was a spider bite. After 149$ and 3 hours off trail I got back to the trail 2 miles shy of my ending point for the day. Wasn't on the trail 2 min and the clouds opened up. I'm soaked, my gear is soaked,bella is soaked, and I'm tired n pissed off. Zeroing here tomorrow to dry out. Always stick to your plans! But the Pa countryside has been amazing. Saw a scarlet taniger yesterday and today.haven't seen any amish yet but I know they're out there, I can smell em. more to say but I'll type later.
