The temperature dropped overnight. It was so nice to sleep with it
cooler out. And then today was almost perfect hiking temperatures.

There were actually a few views today. It was nice to see out for a
change, and although the mountains are relatively tiny, at least there
are a couple. The last couple days have been pretty flat.

I missed the trail at one point today. The trail turned to go up the
hill while a side trail continued straight. I ended up in a parking
lot with no sign of the trail. Fortunately some other day hikers told
me where the trail was and I didn't end up going too far down the
wrong trail.

I now reached Duncannon and the hiker-famous Doyle Hotel. I am here
for the night and will get back on the trail hopefully early tomorrow
morning. I hung out at the bar with a bunch of other hikers all
night. This is part of what makes the trail so awesome.
