Last night I was lulled to sleep by all the birds that are now back in the area. This morning is warm and I am very relaxed. I called Nancy and had a nice visit and talked over the new plan details to meet up with her in Mt Gretna. I also get a text from Paul, he is hooking me up with his friend Greg for a place to stay in the Williamsport area.
This morning is easy, yesterday Paul gave me two hard boiled eggs, a banana, and an orange to take with me. I didn’t need to cook breakfast. I also didn’t set up a tent, just my mattress and sleeping bag on the floor. Just before packing up two couples stop at the campsite as they were passing through. We have a nice visit, they are from Vermont in an area that I know well. We exchange contact info and I plan to reconnect later on.
It is interesting, retracing a route. It is familiar but it seems new at the same time. I am noticing many things that I didn’t pay attention to on the way out.
I arrive back in Ohiopyle to stay in the same motel. I am hungry so I shower and walk to a restaurant for a bowl of chili, a strawberry smoothie, and a banana split to bring back to my room. I can relax tonight with no route planning to worry about.
