Slept in then felt lethargic all day--perhaps a side effect from consuming over 2,000 calories of ice cream? Nah.
The trail led us through a rock maze which was marked with arrows--left, right, up, down. At some point we walk all the way around a boulder. Had it just been left up to us how to get through the maze, we probably would have just gone straight, but it was fun, nonetheless.
Hit the original half way point at Center Point Knob, when the trail first began at Mount Oglethorpe, Georgia. A few rollers to the bottom, the it was corn--err, alfalfa--fields all the way into town.
Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania is nothing short of gorgeous. Situated around a man-made lake built in the 1700s, this peaceful little town is worth a peak.
We bought a few goodies at the grocery store, and spent the evening on the front porch of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy Regional Office which also looks out onto the lake.
We slept on the south end of town in the Hiker's Campground; basically the edge of someone's field, right by the train tracks.
