I got up around 6AM and had a Continental Breakfast in the lobby - coffee and donuts! Started out at 8:10 and walked a mile down Route 11. Then I continued on roads all morning. Got to Darlington Shelter at 11:00. There was a short section up to there that was not much of a road. Ate at the shelter and left at 12. It was starting to get cloudy by then.
Continued on for another bunch of road walking. Nice farmland. Finally got off the roads and began steep climb, and it started to rain. Rough rocky trail for 4 miles on ridge in the rain, then down steep and rocky trail to Duncannon. Went to the post office. No mail for me. Disappointing.
Not much of any place to stay in town either. Hotel was full. A girl named Cindy who is hiking the trail was looking for a place to stay, too. I called a guy, Bill S. who I met in the post office. He said he'd give me a ride to a motel outside of town if I called. So he took Cindy and I to a place 3 miles south of town. TV doesn't work. Very discouraged.
