After another long day of hiking, I am fairly exhausted and ready for sleep, but here is a brief update before I do. I have arrived in the small town I Palmerton, PA, just off of the trail. It is a fairly friendly town, with a free place for hikers to stay the night.

There is word of a “polar vortex” on the way. I’m not sure when or how long it will last… or anything about it really. But cooler weather is definitely my preference.

Today was probably the rockiest hiking yet. It did not discourage me, but my legs are definitely tired tonight.
