Mount Holly Springs, PA (USA)
Left work in DC at 1230 and made it back to Michaux SF by 1430 (via I-395, GW Parkway, I-495, I-270, US-15, PA-94). I'm planning two to three days of trail time before work starts again. Found a good place to park near Mt. Holly Springs so I could maximize the daylight. Hiked between PA-94 and Tagg Run Shelter. Temps were sooo nice - sun just above the western ridge kept me warm with just two layers until after it disappeared completely. Logged 6.5 miles and scouted tomorrow's route. Only saw one person (probably Mennonite)... Once I got back to my car, I headed into town. Spent the night at hiker friendly place called the Holly Inn. Ate dinner and had some drinks in the pub - good all around. They actually had a live band tonight at their pub (karaoke tomorrow - hmmmm...). Before going to bed, I called my friend George to congratulate him on his engagement. Excited for tomorrow! I'm starting to think that with enough time, I can get the whole AT finished! Total today = 3.2 miles / Grand Total AT = 294.02 miles.
