In May I have a conference for work that is in Williamsport, PA...About 71 miles north of Duncannon, PA. The conference starts on May 14th(A Tuesday). So that means I have Monday off for travel time....However I will be doing it a bit different. Here's the plan.
Fly out of Chattanooga, TN on May 10th and arrive at PenMar Park, MD Via Shuttle driver. Let the shuttle driver hold on to my "business luggage" and start walking north. I can knock out about 8 miles that night and get to Tumbling Run sometime around midnight. From Saturday morning to Monday evening I have to walk as far as I can get and I'm gunna shoot for Duncannon. That's (3) 24.8 mile days to get me into Duncannon but I would like to pull a 30 out and I have always said that if I was going to be able to do that it would most likely have to be in southern PA. Surprisingly I was able to do many 20's in VT and a 27 in VT but have only done (4) 27 mile days out of all of the AT that I have done.
Where ever I end up on Monday afternoon I will be happy, and same shuttle will pick me up and drive me on to Williamsport, PA for the conference the next day, allowing me to pickup my "business luggage", check into my hotel and kick back
I have always said that PenMar Park to Duncannon was one of my favorite stretches. Long stretches of pine forest, tenting, AT history, walking in fields and a pizzeria and pub right on trail...how could it get any better
This trip will be for enjoyment with zero stress of getting to point B or not, just thought it would be entertaining to try. I would say its safe to say cabin fever has officially set in LOL
