Day 91 (September 23)

Today was an exquisite day for hiking. We left Harper's Ferry in the late morning, yet still made 18 miles and moved into Virginia. The AT in West Virginia is only 18 miles long. Our hiking speed seems to be largely impacted by the lower temperatures and humidity; it has been a beautiful September along the trail. 

 We are staying at the Bear's Den Hostel tonight. Bunk, shower and towel, pizza, soda, Ben & Jerry's ice cream, laundry, and self-serve pancakes in the morning -- all for $30.00. The place is an old stone lodge just off of the trail. It's a super deal and fit our hiking distance for today. Continuing the quest tomorrow. Take care.
