Appalachian Trail (day 53) - Black Swatara Creek Campsite to Dans Pulpit / mile 1238
You know you made it as a hiker when you are having Walmart's New York style cheesecake and nacho cheese Doritos for supper. In the morning I've hiked the remaining 13 miles to the town called Port Clinton and arrived there at 11 AM, unfortunately there was nowhere to resupply. The only restaurant was in a hotel and required you to have a shower before entering the premises. I decided to give it a pass and get a hitchhike to Walmart three miles down the road instead. After 10 minutes of sticking my thumb up an Indian gentleman who just moved to Port Clinton few months ago picked me up. At the supermarket I've resupplied for another five days and got a footlong sandwich at Subway (it seems like I'm getting addicted to those). I've also bumped into Freewill and Packrunner doing their shopping, I wasn't expecting to see them here! It turned out that Packrunner was starting her "cycle" so they changed their initial plan ...
