June 15 – “Another Day”

Post date: Jun 17, 2012 8:57:38 AM

The plan today was 19 miles so that the hiker could find their way into Hamburg, Pennsylvania, and the laundry room at the MicroTel Inn.

Along the way the sight of a deer with an orange appearance was secured, more "Bonus Miles" were endured and passed the 1,200 miles hiked mark "Five Pair" soared.

The AT took "Five Pair" through trail town Port Clinton onward to Hamburg but first a stop at Walmart so as to resupply... then onward to the MicroTel for laundry and food.

"Duke", "Duke’s Keeper" and "Honey Badger" were also in Hamburg and the human hikers found their way to pub grub at the MicroTel. As the food was consumed a local band set up and began playing and the evening found new heights of interest when Joe Dirt made his arrival. Notwithstanding the engaging, visual attraction of a man in 2012 sporting a mullet, the day ended.
