Day 157 - Thursday, September 16, 2021
AT Hiker and author Meredith “Nimblewill” Eberhart once said… “you’re going to fall, you’re going to get discouraged … and you’re going to get wet.” Today’s forecast is for rain throughout the day so we are definitely going to get wet and possibly discouraged. Hope we don’t fall 😳🙏🏻.
Today we are hiking from PA 33, Wind Gap (1280.6 NoBo) to Little Gap Road, Danielsville, PA (1265.2 NoBo) for a total of 15.4 miles.
We began hiking at 10:00 am; little bit of a late start 😬.
Meet “Papa Groop who is from Indianapolis via Virginia. He’s a flip-flopper as well and he began his thru-hike on February 16th. He will complete his thru hike when he reaches Pine Grove. Congratulations “Papa Groop”!
We finished hiking at 5:00 pm. It never did rain today 🤗🤔 but I don’t think we will be as lucky tomorrow… oh well.

“Acts of generosity in this wild and primitive setting…where basic amenities…are intentionally absent–are often received in a heightened sense of wonder and gratitude by hikers. These acts of generosity are referred to as “trail magic.”
(Appalachian Trail Conservancy)
I remember those rocks very well. Watch your step! Happy hiking!
