Big day

June 25: After Boiling Springs, we decided for pur biggest push yet- 25 miles into Duncannon PA. The terrain LOOKED flat in the guidebook, and we were well rested after two short days.
The day started out with the trail alternating between shady Forrest and fields. Corn fields, spinach, strawberries, more corn.

We stopped for a break at the ATC work center farm and refilled water from the well pumps.

Them we started climbing again. An afternoon thunderstorm started rumbling on the distance, so we stopped to put on the pack covers, but were ultimately spared the worst of it. Just a bit of gentle rain and a cooling drop on humidity.
The descent into Duncannon was rocky and steep, but not as bad as the descent into Harper's Ferry. We walked into Duncannon around 7:15.
Like Boiling Springs, Duncannon has the trail running right down the street. The Doyle Hotel was literally right on the trail so we stayed there for the night.
