AT for CZC is back on the move this week after a few days off the Trail last weekend. I spoke with Matt yesterday afternoon while he was resting at the Jailhouse Hostel in Palmerton, Pennsylvania. Click here to see his location as of 7am this morning.
Matt reports that all is well on the Trail. Despite the cold weather, shorter daylight and rockier than expected conditions, he and Houdini are making good time and hope to finish the rest of the hike near Harper's Ferry before Thanksgiving next week. The Trail is fairly flat at this point, definitely a blessing after the rocks and streams of Maine.
Matt reports that they saw a coyote near the Trail on Wednesday afternoon, which was "pretty cool." They also saw a house/barn burning in the distance, giving them something to talk about as they made their way south that day. Finally, Matt also has been struck by how much trash and food waste he has seen in this region.
Check back in soon for more updates from the Trail. Be sure as well to check in over Thanksgiving as Matt will no doubt spend some time reflecting on his experiences over the past six months. Happy Friday!
