July 21 - RPH Shelter (Day 124 – milepoint 1401.9)

Up early for breakfast with Father Fred and eventually got to walking. Not much to say about hiking today except that I sweat a lot.

Highlight of the day was arriving at the shelter to see Footprints and Yote (Footprints and I haven’t seen each other since Erwin, TN) and then to meet Good Deal, a local Angel and student at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. He took Zen Pig, Meant2B and I to a pizza place/deli and offered good conversation about hiking and music, among other things. A nice, unexpected encounter.

I spoke with Achilles this morning, who has been spending a few days off the trail at his folks’ home in Rye, NY. I’ll be meeting him tomorrow at NY-55 and he’s planned a little side trip for us to venture into NYC – the concrete wilderness…
