Today we saw the Fort Dietrich Snyder Monument signifying were the lookout tower once was to warn of enemy presence during the French and Indian War.
Near PA 183 we stumbled into trail magic. While we drank our sodas and ate our Fruit-by-the-foot, we enjoyed a conversation with a Boy Scout family out for the weekend. With no effort on their part, they talked us into cheese fries at Port Clinton.
After lunch, the Appalachian Trail turned very rocky. We still made decent time, but our feet were tired and sore. We dragged down the final decent into Port Clinton around five o'clock.
The Port Clinton rail yard was a welcome surprise. They had large chunks of anthracite that we enjoyed climbing on.
Once in Port Clinton our first stop was cheese fries at the Port Clinton Hotel. After dropping off our gear in the local park, we headed over to Hamburg, Pennsylvania to the Cabela's and Wal-mart.
Back at the park we finished the evening by watching the fireflies under the moonlight.
