Finished Maryland and got another 20+ in the books.
Morning was really smooth but the miles leading into the PA border were rock city, and trying to hunt where the next blaze was became a problem.

There’s a nice park at the Maryland/Pennsylvania border called PenMar park. I ran into Van Gogh just before it. He told me that a pizza place supposedly delivers there but the place is closed on Mondays. I had service so I checked to see if I could doordash something there and sure enough I could. I doordashed us a couple Little Caesars pizzas (which apparently doesn’t exist in Australia ) as well as a couple snacks from CVS to make sure we could make it thru the next couple of days without needing to peel off for a resupply. Park also had a nice little area for us to cram food into our mouths.

Made it the next 6 miles to Deer Lick shelters (PA does this weird thing where they put two smaller shelters at the sites) and it is filled with some school hiking club or something. They seem chill tho and offered me s’mores and said they wouldn’t make too much noise. I don’t really care how loud they are, I am going to be sleeping like the dead tonight.
Tomorrow is maybe a light day. Not too sure yet. 2 days to ironmaster hostel which is at the more official halfway point. If I push tomorrow then the next day becomes much easier. I also learned that I’m only about 2 days behind Notyet now somehow, so maybe there is a chance of catching up somehow.
