We passed the halfway point! Since I met the boys in Pennsylvania, we crossed that marker and the Mason Dixon line-- both halfway markers in different ways.
When I got back on the trail, Travis was 5 days into the famous Pennsylvania rocks.
He had both ankles wrapped in bandages, a brace on one knee, and two sets of insoles in each shoe.
After 5 more days, he decided to quit and go home. Forrest is bummed to lose a walking companion, but you can't fault someone for being reasonable.
We made it through the rocks of Pennsylvania and into Maryland, which was short (40 miles), but full of Revolutionary and Civil War history signs.
We followed the historic C&O canal towpath into Harpers Ferry, where we were met by Forrest's dad with beer--another great cameo appearance on the trail. 
After dinner with him, we are ready to head into Virginia, the AT's largest section of trail.

Yay! I found you guys!! Thanks for the postcard. I haven't gotten one of those since the 90s :-) Pennsylvania looked like a nightmare. So glad you sat on the beach through that one, Yukon! And Break Time you are super stud!!! I am so proud of both of you and will look forward to your next post. You have a general delivery address down the trail about a week or so??
We never know where we will be, And if it will be when a PO is open, which makes general delivery near impossible...
