As I mentioned, I have been picking up my pace and focusing a bit more on hiking. At the same time, I want to make sure I am having fun.

We have been hitting some cool milestones the past few days. To start with, we are officially in the North! (Winter is coming).

And the shelters have been very nice, maintained by generous caretakers, some areas having both a smoking and a non-smoking shelter.

I have made it through all of Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. Now, I am headed through Pennsylvania. There has been talk of visiting Hershey Park while we are here. Why not??
