03/07/12 - McClure Gap - 67.2 miles
This is the earliest we've been in camp so far. Bear bag has been hung, dinner eaten, and we are in our tents with the sun still up. I think it's about six or so. We are at a campsite with one other guy, Pittsburgh Paul, who is camping in his hammock. Today was a pretty difficult hiking day – lots of ups and downs and steep climbs. Only a couple minor blisters on my feet, but my knee is doing better, and the rest of my body seems to be doing alright. Though I feel like I'm constantly having to poop. And I hate pooping in the woods. Who woulda thought for a thru-hiker, huh?

We met Pittsburgh Paul that one night and did not see him again until the day we left Harpers Ferry.
