Day 78: Chlorinated swimmin' hole.

Mile 1084.8: Quarry Gap Shelter.

We've encountered the famous ankle breaking, thruhike ending rocks of Pennsylvania. But honestly, I don't mind them. In fact they were pretty fun, even if they do slow us down some.

We've been hiking recently with our homie Phu (who also began April 12th). He's a pretty optimistic fellow, and I've come to take for granted the morale boost he provides our group.


Today was easy; the weather was nice and the trail was forgiving as we casually strolled through Pennsylvania. I never even had to filter wate cause we hit so many campsites!

One such campsite was actually a park with a community pool... And it was baller.


So we lived out our Sandlotesque community pool fantasies for a couple hours before heading to the shelter just a couple miles up trail... It is also baller.


This shelter even has its own caretakers and small garden, and also, this:


Yeah. Those are stone turtles and a little stone turtle home. What the hell, this shelter rules.
