Southern PA

Even though it's been hot and humid, Southern Pennsylvania is a beautiful section of the AT. So far I've hiked from Pen-Mar to Boiling Springs and watched the forests gradually fill with more hemlocks, firs, and laurels. Caledonia SP and Pine Grove Furnace SP are both gorgeous specimens of parklands.
And of course I passed the AT midpoint at mile 1090.5

Made a couple town stops, mostly to clean up from such sweaty, smelly conditions.
Fayetteville PA is a few miles off the AT and is pretty spread out. But Leroy's Original Jerk Chicken made the trip worthwhile. Curry chicken, red beans&rice, fried plantains and fresh collards. Mmm, mmm. Tell Dave and Paula AppMan sent you.

Jerk Chicken- that's almost as good as bacon for power hiking!
