A wild and colorful natural spring

I wasn't sure whether to drink from this water source or not. Turns out the water is crystal clear. The ground beneath however is collecting mineral deposits from the water.

This spring was located near Pine Grove, PA. at approx. mile 1210

The infamous Doyle Hotel. This place is well known as a hiker friendly establishment with great burgers. It was originally built and operated by Anhieser-Busch over 100 years ago.

"Berries" and me after just arriving at the Doyle.Wet, tired, and very hungry !

Let the ROCKS begin !!! mile 1,130

Wet and raining heading into Duncannon, PA.  This was ridiculous how rocky and steep it was. A hiker should have to obtain a license to walk on this stuff !

Heading toward Pine Grove, PA.    Not getting any better, in fact it's getting worse.

How's this for an uphill climb ? At least this section had smaller rocks mixed in with the large rocks.

Rock Bridges, wow.... what's next

Trail Magic !

My friend Kim (Loopy) holding Gatorade a "trail angel" left under the road in the tunnel for hikers to enjoy........ which we did!
