Duncannon, PA (USA)

[Started off on the trail around 0645 after another good night at The Doyle. A light snow was already falling and the temps were in the teens again. Siren went off again while I was hiking - wondered if it was for volunteer fire department... I started up Cove Mountain to link up with another section I'd hiked about a month ago. The trail was steep and slippery but I made good time to the top. After admiring the view of the valley below through the falling snowflakes, I continued SOBO to find the place where I'd turned around before. Unfortunately, the trail looked much different than the last time (more snow). As a result, I hiked for another mile before I was certain I'd passed the place (of course, I eventually found it around 50 yards from the overlook - oh well...). Headed back down into town (or, more accurately, slid on my backside). My outbound footprints were actually gone by then - filled in with snow. Saw a reflection of myself in a store window - covered in snow... It was a short day (around 6 miles) but I've now hiked a continuous section between Mary's Rock and PA-225 (215.2 miles!). - ice storm on the way home - stopped at Fort Detrick in Frederick to pick up adult beverages (1145) - What a great weekend! Today's AT Total = 2.00 miles / Grand Total = 358.59 miles.]
