Start: Doyle Hotel, Duncannon, PA

So the 11 mile day turned into an 111 mile day... By car. The doctor thought it would be a good idea to skip some of the PA rocks for now. Although, we were originally against the idea, we came around to it. We have done a section from Palmerton to Wind Gap, so we decided to get a ride to Wind Gap, go north from here and fill in Duncannon to Palmerton over the weekends in the fall. The doctor seems to think skipping the rocks right now will save my knee for the rest of the trip. After doing that Palmerton section, I think I agree. I'm beating myself up a little bit for this decision, but I guess it does make sense. After all, it is a lot easier to fill in sections in PA over weekends (since we live in NY) than it would be to fill in sections in Maine. So now we are in a motel is Wind Gap, PA and will start early in the am. From what we've heard the worst of the PA rocks will be tomorrow, but it should be the last of them.

End: Travel Inn, Wind Gap, PA

Peace Be The Journey
