This was our last hiking for the fall. Sunny weather – brisk but nothing like our last walking weekend. Walked through Chambersburg and back into the countryside. On the second day, our last mile and a half was really steep. May have hit our limit. Will take the off season until next spring to think about how to plan our walks when the grade is severe. Glad for a break.
A very cold, windy weekend. Might have been the day after Halloween but felt like the middle of winter. Walked through historic Gettysburg on the first day. Fortunately, the miles weren’t too steep, but the cold and rain wiped us out. The second day (on the western side of Gettysburg) included lots of rolling hills and a 400 foot net elevation gain. Went into a candy shop just to warm up. Crossed the Appalachian Trail at our first mountain pass (many more to follow).
