This morning got up early and packed up camp. He had cell service and knew the kids in NH were going to be getting out of school on summer break soon and wanted to talk to them one last time. So, he was able to call into the Little High School and talk to Miss Jen Carbonneau's class. He had visited w/them back in March before he left on his journey. They have been following his progress and doing some AT projects. Wonderful for them to be so interested in Dave and the trail. Some may hike w/him when he gets up to the Whites and he will see the rest when he re-visits the classroom in September when he is back at home.
He got to Duncannnon, PA about 11:30. Had some lunch and hiked on. He will hitch a ride back to town tomorrow in hopes to meet up w/some of the April Fool's gang that he started w/such as Mr Vix and 2 Rings. They all plan to watch the US vs England Soccer game. Should be a great match. He is also meeting up w/his cousin Mark. Sounds like everyone will have super time. Beer, food, sports and a night at the famous Doyle Hotel.
He cossed over the Susquenhanna River on the Clark's Ferry Bridge. He is familar w/this river as it runs through his home town in up state PA.
22.7 miles today and that's w/a nap. He had stopped about 3ish because he was hot, tired and had a headache. Once he woke he moved on another 6 miles or so to the Peters Mountain Shelter where he set up camp for the night.
