The Sprout Day 22 (Monday, April 18th)

We continued to hike out of the Annapolis rock area.  The graffiti was ongoing and made it extremely difficult to find the white blazes along the trial.  We were not sure that we were going the right way when we came across a post-it note stating, “White Blaze way down hill.”  We were sketched out and weren’t sure if we should follow the sign.  Luckily we did, found the white blaze down the hill, and we knew we were on the right path.  Thank you for whomever posted the post-it note!  

We could not find the white blazes through the graffiti.  Thanks for posting this!

Two more vultures

When we got out of the rocks we came across the Mason Dixon Line and signed the logbook.  It feels great to have made it this far.  We walked into Pennsylvania and crossed our third state line.  We are through two states completely!  11.5 more to go!

Bubbles on the trial

Welcome to Pennsylvania!  Another state down!

The logbook is in the post box

It's always important to make sure you are heading the correct direction on the trail

It was super hot today but we are still having a great time!
