My ankle twisted in some direction
Elevation wise, today was easy. Rocks wise, it was nothing but pure misery.
Some section hikers decided to wake up and create a whole lot of noise at 5:00AM, so I was forced to wake up then as well. This lead me to be on trail at 6:00AM, my earliest start yet.
The descent into the valley was a rock one, of course. The valley was flat and muddy. The farm fields looked simplistic against the stormy sky.
The climb up the next ridge was steep and rocky, and of course viewless due to the cloud I was walking in.
The ridge this climb lead me up to was fairly level, but it was extremely rocky, this made for slow hiking.
It seemed like with each step I took my ankle twisted in some direction. It was a wonderful experience.
After the rocky descent off the ridge, I rolled into Duncannon around 10:30AM. Since the Doyle does not open until 11:00AM, I joined Cookie for some breakfast at "Goodies".
We then crossed the street to the Doyle, where we checked in for the night.
After a shower and doing laundry, I started the process of checking my email and updating my journal.
After lunch, it was 4:00PM, which meant it was time to resupply. The local market does a free shuttle once a day for hikers, which is quite convienent.
After resupply Cookie and I went to a local pizza place for dinner.
I have just completed consolidating my food, and it's around 9:30PM. Tomorrow I shall walk 11 miles.
Cookie and I determined a zero will be in order in Port Clinton, our next town stop. My body needs it.
Well, I need to sleep, it's that time of the night.
Good night, and good luck.
