Cold last night, mid 30s. Today upper 50s, blue sky with some clouds.
Had weekend hikers at Quarry Run shelter last night and more on the trail today - all nice people. Met one fella from Boston who is doing the same hike as us - he started at Harper's Ferry a few days after us and is going to Maine (then maybe Georgia north (like us)). He is traveling more miles per day than we are and passed us today. Nice guy but unless something goes wrong for him, we won't see him again.
Went through some tall pine forests today - mostly flat with just a few climbs. Birch Run shelter is nice. It is a big log cabin in a large, open, grassy area. This part of PA has a lot of nice shelters. The shelters in VA, along Skyline Drive (near where we live) are trashy by comparison.
As we travel north, it seems we are staying ahead of spring. Many trees still do not have buds yet. A few cherry trees are blooming but that is all so far. I think spring will catch up to us soon.
