Darlington Shelter.jpg


Darlington Shelter.jpg, originally uploaded by Hikingfool.

Day 7 (tuesday)

Today was my longest and easiest hike of my AT hike yet. I hiked 18.2 miles to the Darlington shelter. I am now 1124 miles from springer and 1052.2 from katahdin.

Today's hike was basically flat for 14 miles. I hiked across many farms, which was a nice change of scenery. Nothing out of the ordinary happened today, except it was another perfect fall day to hike.

I did catch u to Jeff, a section hiker from N.C. so it was nice to chat with him.

One thing about this shelter...actually 2 things. One, it has a mailbox as you can see in the picture. It houses the shelter log. I thought it was kindof funny. Two, it has the biggest privy on the trail yet. It has 2 seats in there and enough room to even set up a one man tent. It is called the Tajmahal. It is a sight to behold.

Well only 11.9 more miles into Duncannon for tomorrow.

More PA Boulder Scrambles.jpg


More PA Boulder Scrambles.jpg, originally uploaded by Hikingfool.

Day 6 (Monday).

Wow. I am glad this day is in the books. As you can see from the picture, most of my hike consisted of climbing over these huge boulders. They are fun at times, but am just waiting to lose my balance and sprain my ankle. Thankfully God has been merciful on me. To Him be the glory!.

Well today I hiked 15.5 miles to the Alex Kennedy shelter. I also broke the 1100 mile barrier today. I am officially 1105.8 miles from Springer and 1070.4 miles from Katahdin.

I had a nice night at the Ironmaster mansion hostel, but it wasnt the best one I have been to.

I have about 30 more miles and 2 days until I reach Duncannon and finish this section of the trail. I have really been enjoying God's creation and the fall weather.

Ice cream sandwhich challenge.jpg

Day 5...post 2.

Well today I officially have completed over 50% of the AT. I hiked 17.3 miles to the Pine Grove Furnance State Park. I am 1090.3 miles from springer & 1085.9 from katahdin. I am staying in the Ironmaster mansion hostel, which pretty nice. I also just had my first shower in 5 days, and am doing some laundry to get rid of the hiker funk.

Also to my surprise, the general store was open, which is the official site of the half gallon challenge. In case u r wondering, this is a thruhiker tradition to comsume a whole half gallon of ice cream at the half way point. You get a small wooden spoon as a trophy if u finish. I, since am not a thruhiker anymore. declined to gorge myself with 3500 calories. I decided to do the ice cream sandwhich challenge instead. I ate it in a personal best time of 2:15 secs

Thankfully I did get to witness a sobo hiker set a new record doing the challenge. Rocketman ate coffee flavor half gallon in 15 mins flat. It was a site to behold.

Day 4...post 2.

Today i hiked 15.8 miles to the Quarry Gap Shelter. I am 1073 miles from Springer and 1103.2 miles to Katahdin.

Today I officially am on plan B of my hike. I had originally wanted to get to the Delaware Water gap in 14 days, but would of had to avg 20 miles per day. Even though this section in relatively flatter than the rest of the trail, my body isnt quite in shape enough to do it. So now I am taking an 8 day hike into Duncannon, which is about 15.5 mile avg...which is abbout what my body can handle. Plus the daylight hours to hike are getting shorter by the day.

Also here is a picture of some of the famous boulder scrambles that litter most of PA. They are fun at first but get old quickly. lol. I guess there are more to come.

Anyhoo... I am still enjoying being out her and taking my time seeing the changing of the colors...plus I will actually be home for our 7 yr anniversy.

Day 4...post 1.

I didnt stay at this shelter but did stop to eat a snickers bar. Well there is a fued going on between this shelter and the Quarry Gap Shelter, which I am staying at tonight, to see who has the best shelter.

At the tumbler shelter they have these nice signs to separate the snorers from the non-snorers. I thought it was very original. Although, I have to vote the Quarry Gap shelter the better of the two.

Day 3.

Actually this isnt the official state line sign, but the official one has been missing for years...so this is a close to it I could find.

I hiked 14.5 miles today and finished my 6th state today. Woo hoo. Only 8 more to go. I am 1057.2 miles from Springer and 1190 miles to katahdin.

I also crossed the famous Mason-Dixon line, so i am officially a yankee now. I would of whistled dixie if I would of knew how. lol. Also now that i am in the north, they pronounce the AT differently than in the south.

Well I made it to New Jersey after driving 760 miles in 12 hours, and I'm staying with Victor and Susan. They are great friends from church, and they have graciously allowing me to sleep on their couch tonight. Victor is still hilarious as usual,and it was great to catch up on old times and to see what God has been doing in each of our lives! ;o).

tomorrow i plan on renting a car a driving to Harpers Ferry to start my hike. It is suppose to be sunny and high of 69. The leaves are turning as well, so it should be a beautiful hike.

Heading back to the Appalachian Trail for 2 weeks!


Well many of you may not realize that this blog was initially a blog about my attempt to thru-hike the 2175 miles of the Appalachian Trail in 2008 (that is why the address is hikingfool and my trail name was Shepherd), but I was only able to make it 1011 miles before getting injured. Then I got into couponing and being frugal with our money and morphed the hiking blog into the coupon blog you see today.

So, for the next 2 weeks I will temporarly be not blogging about coupons and deals but of the 270 miles I plan to hike on the AT. I will be starting out in Harper's Ferry, WV and hiking (Lord willing) to the Delaware Water Gap in NJ. So I will be hiking through Maryland and Pennsylvania this time!

So if you are interested in seeing what my adventures will be as I brave the outdoors, please enjoy. I will be posting something daily as long as I have cell phone signal...so if you dont see anything for a day or two...dont worry, there will be something soon!

Then after this trip I will resume the couponing and deals to help everyone save a few bucks here and there grocery shopping (probably around Oct. 23)

God bless,
Shepherd.

Tent City.jpg, originally uploaded by Hikingfool.

Well today I am in Damascus in tent city. It is where everyone sets up there tents or tarps to spend each night. It will get more packed as the days go on.

Today I woke up at 7:30 and chilled out around town. Then I went to a ultra light gear talk which was very informative. Soon after they had a reunion time to meet up with old friends. I have only met 2 hikers I knew from 08 as of yet.

Then I went to a talk on a guy who did the Florida Thruhike of 1100 miles and then a film of the first guy who hiked the whole America Discovery Trail in 16 months. I am in a talk about thr last 180 miles of the AT in Maine.

Soon it will be time to eat and enjoy the night. So far having a great time.

Enjoy,

Kentucky Derby Half Marathon


This is myself with my wife, Amee, and two friends from church...Jason and Markus... before our run at the 2009 Kentucky Derby half and full marathon.

Amee, Jason & I ran the half marathon (13.1 miles), but Markus upstaged us all and ran the full 26.2 mile marathon! Both Markus and Jason set personal records this weekend. We had a really great time and even got to run around the inside of the Kentucky Derby track!

Here are the results!
Jeremiah: 1:52:31(8:36 pace)
Amee: 2:09:19 (9:53 pace)
Jason: 2:16:47 (10:27 pace)
Markus: 4:26:29 (10:11 pace)

Now this saturday will be the Indi-Mini for Jason and I, which is the largest half marathon in the nation with over 35,000 runners. We also get to run a lap around the Indy 500 track! Very cool!

2009 Coupon Database - My New Project


Hello all,

I am in the works at organizing an alphabetical complete listing of all coupon in the 3 different inserts via Google Spreadsheet!

I have only been able to put in all the coupons from the 5 - 1/4/09 inserts...3 - Smartsources & 2 - Redplums! (there was like 245 different coupons!). This way you can quickly scan down the alphabetical list and see if a coupon has been in the inserts lately and when it expires and where it is located! Hopefully this will make finding deals even quicker! Then they are also broken up into each insert...SS 1/4/09 and RP 1/4/09.

I will be working on getting the last 2 weeks put in asap. I might even get it set up that anyone can add coupons as they have time to make it more a group community project. This database is for anyone, so use it how ever you can. You can even link it on your own blog as well. Feel free to spread the word!

I hope this helps...and if anyone has any recommendations to help it get even better..please share!

Here is the link...

2009 Coupon Database Project.

Plus, it is linked on the right hand of my blog as well!

Double Rebate Deals at Walgreens!


At Walgreen's this month they are offering a deal with Orajel FREE with their monthly Rebates. Plus I guess this last sunday inserts had a mail in rebate offer from the manufacturer to get a full rebate as well. So, what does this mean. It means you can get a full rebate twice on this project, and get double your cost on your initial investment! I think it is $8.99 at Walgreens (if they are still in stock) and you will get back $17.98 back! Nice!


Also if you are lucky to find the Auto Expressions Vent Fresh Elite Auto Air Freshener Starter Kit still in stock at Walgreens (I still havent yet), then you can submit this item in for a full rebate with Walgreen's monthly rebates and there is a MFG rebate as well. Us this form to get the MFG rebate. So buy it for $4.99 and get back $9.98 in rebates!

Enjoy,

$0.79 Febreze Candles at CVS


Hello all,

Just wanted to post this unadvertised find at CVS this morning. I found that certain scents of Febreze candles are 90% off. They are normally $7.99, but with your CVS card they are only $0.79. I had to do a double take when I saw this!

So if you buy 3 at $0.79 and use your $2 off 1 Febreze candle in the December P&G insert (12/14..i think). You can get all 3 candles for $0.54 (that's including tax!)

Needless to say, I stocked up on them! I know that the vanilla scent & the Apple Delight scent were discounted.

*** NOTE - There was no indication at all that they were 90% off. They all still had the $7.99 stickers on them. I had to use the in-store price scanner to realize that they were actually $0.79. So make sure you check it out before buying! ***

KMart $30 Gift Card for 2 Prescription transfers!


Check you local inserts to see if you have the $30 gift card from Kmart with 2 new prescriptions or 2 prescription transfers!
