Spent the morning preparing a plan for the next few weeks including mail drops and town visits. Also going through my pack to find more I can do without since my new pack is about 12% smaller.
I have arranged for us to get a ride tomorrow and again on Tuesday (Mon. if the pack arrives early) so that we can hike tomorrow. We will spend the night here tomorrow and wait for the pack on Mon.
The Slatington 7:
Boo and Scout (Robert and Debbie) are from Texas; recently hiked in Dominican Rep; in front by a day; getting off trail temporarily later this month. They are doing a flip-flop thru-hike of the AT, similar to us.
Outside Dog (Steve) is a retired lawyer from Minnesota; experienced hiker all around; also temporarily getting off the trail later this summer. He is in his second week of a flip-flop thru hike starting in Port Clinton.
Wool E. Mammoth (Lance) is a nurse from Binghamton, NY (as is Jennifer); section hiking the AT for a couple of years and now less than 90 miles from completion. He will finish next weekend.
Jaybird (Jay) is a network TV audio engineer from Nashville, TN; previously lived in Charlottesville/Waynesboro area in his AM radio days. He fell and injured his leg/ankle and had to slow down his planned hike. This allowed us to meet him. He is section hiking GA-ME since 2002 and has completed 1165 miles (including all of PA!) He has finished this year and we celebrated and said goodbyes last night.
