AT Day 15 Doyle Hotel to Clarks Ferry Shelter

Miles ~4.5
Total: ~127.8

Shannon: Finally left the Doyle after 3 zero days and the swelling in my ankle has gone down.  I wore the aircast-that seemed to work well.  We'll try to go slow for the next few hundred or so. We're not interested in getting re-injured.
On the bright side, we were both feeling good and refreshed on our hike up here.  I was worried getting back on the trail would be painful but it felt great. 
Also, we stopped into a fun antiques  market that had an old penny arcade.  Really fun!
OH OH!  And as we were crossing the bridge over the Susquehenna River we were followed and yelled at by some hawks that must have a nest underneath. The followed us for about half the bridge.  It was partly terrifying/partly amazing as the hawks were so close and it was a unique experience

Jamie: Ditto on that Penny Arcade.  We had a good day today, it was humid but the train never came.  Ordered a smaller pack from REI yesterday. YAY!  Should be waiting for us in Port Clinton within a week (unsure of our arrival time at this juncture).  WE also sent home a few things, totalled 2.5 pounds.  Mostly it was my clothe so that frees up some weights so i can help out with Shannon's weight while she heals up. Glad to be going again and hoping for good weather tomorrow.
