AT Weekend Hike around Duncannon, PA

A few weeks ago we hit the AT again for another few days of camping.  We were supposed to go for 3 days and 2 nights but due to a few blisters we had to cut it short.  There was a nice little campsite a few miles in and we spent the night there with a great fire.  The next morning we woke up and hiked across the bridge into Duncannon, taking a stroll down main street.  

We were just about to head up Hawk Mountain to see if we could find the camping site but decided after a few minutes it was a bad idea.  So, we turned around, walked back through Duncannon, passing the Doyle Hotel, and made our way back to the car.  The trip was a great time and we had a lot of fun!  Enjoy the photos from our camping excursion!

(Sometimes it amazes me how great a view a person can have after only a few hours of walking.  I think that is part of the reason I enjoy hiking so much - the views.)


(After we set up camp we headed up the stove and had a bit to eat and made some hot coffee)


(Then we played some cribbage)


(Fire time and Rebecca is showing off our tasty treats)


(Had to make sure I had my head lamp on for when it got dark outside)


(Rebecca got an artsy shot of the smoke coming off the fire)


(I warmed myself up by the fire)


(We had a nice little fire going)


(Shot in the tent before we hit the sack)

(Definitely on the Appalachian Trail)  


(Hey oh - Maine to Georgia)


(Rebecca had to take her shoes off...)

JC that is one of the sweetest things I ever heard you say about a lady in your life, angel dust on an angel. Also we ate at the Doyle Hotel already with our gang, not too
bad either. Love to all and thanks.
