Bubbles coming down the trail

We have definitely hit Rocksylvania

We had great views on the way into Duncannon

We stopped for breakfast at a gas station.  We all look great in this picture!

Today was one of the best experiences so far. We stayed in Duncannon at the Doyle, it was an epic stay.  We originally went there because Maggie was having new shoes delivered because her boots aren't working out for her.

The Doyle!

When we were there we met a trail angel named Bag of Tricks. Tricks is one of the coolest people I've met in a long time. He has thru hiked the trail before and has been a trail angel for the past 25 years. He loves helping hikers and he had a lot of great stories to tell us. He hiked with Earl Shaffer in 1992!

The Three Amigos

We went to the Doyle and rented a room. It was perfect for the price and exactly what we needed. It was nice to be able to wash our clothes right down the road. The owners of the Doyle are very friendly and the food is amazing; we got burgers and chili cheese fries. There's a bar on the bottom level and the rooms are upstairs. I think there are around 30 rooms. There's a little quickie mart right around the corner too.  This is super convenient!
