Left the hostel at 9 and on the trail with Chef right now. Just stopped at the first shelter, Deer Lick to sign in. Its 11:20 now and we're at Old Forge picnic area. Gooodbye Maryland, hello Pennsylvania. Everywhere around us is evidence of the Civil War in the form of old buildings, and worn down rock walls. We are near Antietam and fifty miles from Gettysburg. Some swallowtail butterflies were getting a drink along with minerals from the ground.
Stopped at mile 1077.5 after doing 13.5 miles. We're at the South Mountain Hotel and Tavern having drinks and playing some pool. They allow AT thru hikers to tent camp on the premises in a nearby grass field. They also have an outdoor shower for hikers as well.
