Signal Knob to Bears Den Hostel

Loooong day! Packed up and on the trail by 6:45. It gets light at 5:30, so we tend to get moving earlier these days. It rained all night long, so my tent was soaked so I think it weighed about 30 pounds today. Killer. Hit a section called the roller coaster.
Up and down and up and down. And then throw in 10 miles of rocks. It was brutal. Got into the hostel at about 2:30 which was awesome. My feet are super sore. This hostel is one of the must do's and it's great. In an old stone bldg. $30 for a bunk, shower, laundry, pizza and a pint of Ben and Jerry's and AYCE pancakes in the morning. What a deal.

Tomorrow one last long day in to harpers ferry and then a day off!
Mile 999.1 today, so tomorrow will hit the 1000 mile mark!!! Woohoo!!

    I love your blog! The pictures and stories about your day make me feel like I'm there with you but no sore feet, showerless days, or sleeping in a tent. (-: I really enjoy the stories about the trail magic and the people you meet along the way. Hopefully not too many more mizoo grads. Thanks for sharing your hike with all of us!
