Glenn Beck's "The One Thing" is spot on!
If you missed the Glenn Beck program last night, you missed a spot on explanation of what is in the future of our country. I think Glenn did an excellent job at explaining the current crisis (easy credit, bailouts and the exploding debt and future fall of the dollar) in layman terms! If you have about 20 minutes it is definetly worth your time to check it out! Be fore-warned...it isnt pretty..but it is true!

The Doyle.jpg
Day 8 (wednesday)
Well today I hiked my final 11.9 miles into Duncannon. I am 1135.4 miles from springer and 1040.8 miles to Katahdin.
I am at the Doyle hostel, which is infanous on the trail. This is a place you must stop at when hiking. They have great food and drinks. I had the 1/3rd cheeseburger and fries, since they were out of their famous pulled pork bbq. They also take a picture of every hiker that comes in, so I got to see my fellow 08 hikers from last year. Also, Lakewood, a 07 thruhiker and friend, drove over from psu to chat about the trail. It was a great time. Thanks again for all your advice and encouragement.
Now I am spending the night with John and Kathy, who are friends of the family. Hopefully I will find a way back to my car tomorrow...actually I am able to get a rental car to get back to NJ. woo hoo. God is good.
So in all I hiked 125 miles this section, which I am thankful. Till next time...back to the couponing blog. lol.

Darlington Shelter.jpg
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
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.

Pennsylvania Famous Rocks.jpg
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.

Tumbling Run Shelter.jpg
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.

Maryland Penn state line.jpg
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.

Today was a beautiful windy day with only 1 or 2 big ups then alot of flat rocky areas. i am going to be sore tomorrow.

Today I saw 3 runners, 2 dogs and one snake. I am not up on my snake id, but i did take a pic of it. well now time for dinner.

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.
