Smudgy Cheeks Day 76 (Saturday, June 11th, 2016)

I only hiked 2.8  miles today to Tom Levardi's house.  He allows hikers to stay on his property, and has since the 1970's, but has strict rules about noise level and respecting the fact that he has neighbors close to him.  He also requires his porch to stay clean and dirt free.

I'm pretty miserable right now.  I kept spraining my left ankle while hiking the Pennsylvania rocks.  Then I think I did it again during the last two days of hiking over 30 miles.  I also feel like I have a bit of a fever because I have the chills.

The temperature is also getting down to 40 degrees at night and I'm getting too cold.  I need my winter clothes back.  I know that icing my ankle will make it feel better but its pretty hard to find ice in the middle of the woods!
