Chilling

The field mouse in our alcove didn't seem too pleased with the morning, either.

Pine Knob Shelter campground

We managed to get packed and out of camp by 1:00 pm, with an estimated six hours of hiking to the new Rocky Run Shelter. Sean wanted the experience of sleeping in an actual AT shelter, so we marched of and made it happen, arriving at 6 pm and including at stop to climb Pennsylvania's Washington Monument!

But it's not square!

Two other hikers were in the shelter. Sean kindly offered to share some astronaut ice cream. Much better than I recall from the last time I tried it ... but, still. Not quite.

Next stop is Ed Garvey shelter, our last stop before Harper's Ferry.
