Out for a Columbus Day Hike

Out on the A.T. last night. Drove up to Pen-Mar County Park after preaching the three services at Our Savior Lutheran, Arlington, VA; hiked two hours north, crossing the Mason-Dixon Line into Pennsylvania, got to Deer Lick Shelter about 5 minutes before the rain that had been promised all day arrived; had one of the two shelters to myself; moon came out in the middle of the night, but it was overcast again when I got up this morning to a wet 38 degrees. Talked to a Washington County, MD [yeah, I know, Washington County ... can't get away from him even on a day off!] parks employee when I got back to the park and he told me that 90% of the hikers treat the property with respect. That's good to know.
