Halfway

Yesterday we passed the official halfway point on the trail. Now we are counting down the miles to Katahdin! We celebrated halfway by attempting to eat a half gallon of ice cream at the general store. I came up short but Chastan ate his in full.

Hey Little Guy

Found this salamander on the trail, his name is Lewis.

Nasty Weather

We are in for the night staying in a very nice and well kept shelter. It's been a long one and the weather was wonderful this morning through most of the day. This afternoon brought some really heavy rain and strong thunderstorms which are continuing even now. We are very thankful to be dry and warm tonight. We are waking up early so we can go stay in York, PA. Life is good on the trail. We are living the dream. Goodnight.
