AT NOBO 2024 - Pine Grove, PA (mi. 1194.7) to Eagle’s Nest Shelter(mi. 1211.3)
Pine Grove, PA (mi. 1194.7) to Eagle’s Nest Shelter(mi. 1211.3) I was so glad to get in the tent and lay down tonight. I’m not super tired, It was just a long drawn out day. I didn’t even have much up-and-downs for elevation, but my brain was up and down all day. A coke left beside a dirt road, and a short chat with one of my daughters helped get me through the last two hours of the day, thankfully. I have 9 miles exactly into Port Clinton, PA tomorrow so I should get there early, and I’m planning to make the most of every hour there, including a nap in the afternoon for sure. The resupply that the McHugh family provided for me in Carlisle, PA was almost perfect, all I’ll be walking into town with tomorrow morning is one freeze dried meal in my food bag, at least it will be light ha ha! 🤣
This is the most people I’ve tented around in the past couple of weeks, I’ve heard that there are about 200 or so through hikers in the 70 miles behind me. At this point in my hike, I think it is probably better to let them go by me rather than try to stay ahead of them.
It’s time for bed, I want to get an early start in the morning to hit the post office before lunch for sure.
Todays menu: Package of Eggo maple pop tarts, 2 snickers, bag of Fritos, small can of tuna, donut, sprite, 4 clementines, a banana, 2 packages of peanut butter crackers, 5 small pancakes, 2 protein granola bars, small bag of skittles, small bag of gummy worms, bottle of coke, can of Mt. Dew, sausage and gravy with biscuits freeze dried meal, and water with Mio additive.

Stealth tent site (1175.5) to Pine Grove, PA (mi. 1194.7) Started out as a grind of a day, but ended with many good fortunes. I made it to the Swatara hiker hostel by 11 am, which is new this year. It’s run by a husband and wife and they have a little boy and a little girl. They are trying to get it off the ground. They have a great location and he was very open to taking advice on what items t...

Cove Mountain Shelter (mi. 1146.3) to Stealth tent site (1160.1) I did just about the miles I wanted to today, it was incredible how many blow downs were on the trail after that bad storm I hiked through last night.

Carlisle, PA (mi. 1132.5) to Cove Mountain Shelter (mi. 1146.3) Ended the day by getting caught in a thunderstorm … not fun. I finally made it to the shelter and there was plenty of room, so I’m ditching the tent life tonight. Only about 4 miles from Duncannon, PA so I will grab a good breakfast there in the morning. I’m about 18 miles ahead of my goal for the week, which will come in handy if ...

Downtown Boiling Springs (~mi. 1124.6) to Carlisle, PA (mi. 1132.5) What an absolutely amazing day! I hiked about eight miles this morning to be able to get to the hotel and check in early. Had a great chance to rest and do my laundry, and clean up a bit. In the afternoon I got the best trail magic I’ve had yet on the trail.

Nice stealth spots! 😀⛺️
Thanks! There were tons in this last 50 mile or so section ⛺️
Keep going
Thank you! 👍🏻
William enjoyed Duncannon! Such great memories - keep on keeping on!
Thank you Victoria, it’s all downhill from here! 😂
We are truly enjoying your hike with you!! The podcast was really good👍 1:59
Awesome! Thank you so much for following along 🙏 😊
Mollie is going to be thrilled to hear you liked the dessert treat! She certainly did pick that one out - from a couple ideas (you know, astronaut food was the other LOL). Too kind of you to shout her out. She’s going to love it. I can hear her now telling her cousins, aunts and uncles all about you and everything!
Awesome 😃
Wow, such a beautiful view down over Duncannon from the mountains! 😍 I’m glad that ice cream sandwich was good! I was curious. 😀🍦
Yes it was! 👍🏻
Awesome interview on the podcast! 😀🌲
Thanks so much! ❤️ Mighty Blue is the best! 👍🏻
Holy storm! Glad you got a spot at the shelter. Looks cozy. 😀
It was! There was a snorer though 😡
Incredibly thoughtful trail magic!!! ♥️
Overwhelming generosity and kindness! 🙏 💕

Awesome video 😭😭 such generous trail magic!! So thoughtful. 👏🏼 Amazing. They even remembered the caffeine free Mio!!
Genuine thoughtfulness, right down to the small details! 😍
I think that’s an awesome idea for the QR code! That way people know who to contact. Smart. 👍🏻 Awesome video. 😃
I think so too! Thanks 👍🏻
Congrats on half way!!! Awesome. 😀🤍

The McHugh family epitomizes why this trail is more than miles.

Path of Dreams starring Sloggy Hikes.
I LOVE that!!!
Thank you to the McHugh family for being so generous with the trail magic and tracking Bob down. Lots of effort and time on your part and very much appreciated!
… what she said … 💕
Since I know you read these - what an awesome opportunity catching up with you. Thank you so much for your time. Great stories to tell.
So sweet of your family to take the effort to track Bob down. Words cannot express how much this meant to Bob! So generous of you.
@@TammyCampbell-dz9di So happy to do it. I've done some hiking in my former youth (haha), so I appreciate the challenge. Just thrilled my kids could have the experience as well. More than happy to do it.
The thanks are all to you guys! 💕 You created a lasting trail memory for me 🙏
Congrats on the great trail magic!!!
Thank you Donnie, It was incredible! I’m sure that you remember Dr. McHugh and his wife Anne in Woodland.
Found this finally! Glad to give you the ride.
Hey Kevin! You’re the man, we were so appreciative of your help 🙏
Nice looking trails! 😀
They are!
I’m proud of you for getting your spoon. Have to admit we skipped the challenge for a beautiful burger loaded with avocado and then just a pint. At least we could hike afterwards. Livin on a prayer!
I had a chicken fajita and fries right before it … the ice cream was dessert 😂
Now I definitely understand the pepto
Awesome park to camp out at for a bit 😃
Yes it was! Beautiful!
Excited to hear it 😊
😃
You might be the only person that listens to my advice. Hike on!
For sure! You’ve done it twice! 👍🏻
So many memories of this part of the AT (with William). You are loving your best life!! Stay cool.
Thank you Victoria!
I also love the "snoring" and "non-snoring" lol!
I still slept in my tent 😆
Right there with ya on the Saddle trail! 🤣 Great view but more than enough rocks. 🤪
Exactly!
Seems like lots of very kind people in that area that you've come across! That's so awesome!
Yes! If it wasn’t for their kindness I’d have a lot more road miles walked!
Can’t wait for the podcast! 😃
Same! Mighty Blue is awesome!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks for visiting!
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Very welcome 🙏
Very nice video, I really enjoyed it you captured the beatiful scenery. Liked 👍😄
Thank you very much!
Very nice video much enjoyed liked and subscribed 👍😄
Thanks for subscribing! A lot more beautiful country ahead!
The rocks and rattlesnakes start in Maryland, not just Pennsylvania. Keep your eyes down, no rolled ankles or bites. We loved Harpers. Looks like you did too, at least the ice cream. And PA and NY are terrible for water. Stay hydrated.
Thanks Rus! Ice cream has been my fuel so far, still waiting for that hiker hunger to kick in.
Stay hydrated bro!! Proud of you!!
Thanks Bro! I hope you’re enjoying the pool 💦
Wow what a beautiful area! 😍 The rivers are so pretty. The old Katahdin sign is pretty neat.
Very cool area, noisy train though 😂
Blueberries! You ARE on your way to Katahdin. Keep on trekking🥾
Love the little cabins! What a cool spot. So cozy. 😃
It was a great hostel!
Awesome video… remember its not a race.. hike your hike.✌️
Wise advice indeed my friend 🙏
Jealous of those wings..... Happy Father's Day! Love you!
They were better than advertised!
Woohoo!! 1,000 miles!! Proud of you! :)
Thank you! 😃
The Maine flag with the star and tree represented the state from 1901 to 1909. The star (the North Star) represented Maine being the most northern state. The pine tree represents New England. :)
Wow that’s awesome, thank you for the research. 🙏
Wow that shelter is AWESOME! 🤩 Also very cool Rhino. 🦏
Best shelter I’ve ever seen anywhere
Zombie mode! 🤣 Awesome video!
Thanks 😆
That view at about 0:22 is incredible! 😍
Yes it was! 👍🏻
That country store looks like it has a little bit of everything! That's pretty convenient.
They were super convenient because we didn’t have to carry much food in between the stores.
Wow those trails look awesome!! Great views too.
Compared to Southern Virginia they were like heaven ha ha
Happy Father’s Day. You are so close to counting down miles! And that roller coaster is the kiddie ride version compared to Southern Maine. I hope you put your hands up on the downhills. It’s a lot of fun coming along for the hike, thank you for posting.
Thank you Russell, and same to you, I hope you had a great day. Ha ha I was thinking the same thing they just give it a name down here we don’t in Maine.
Good running into you today in Shenandoah and walking and talking a while. Good luck to you on the rest of your long walk. Stumpknocker
I thoroughly enjoyed it, and thank you so much 🙏
That brew pub looked awesome! 🤩

That butterfly is beautiful! Awesome shot. 😀📷🦋
