July 15, Dan's Spring - mile 1216

What a magnificent, un-matchable day! I can hardly believe my good fortune to have happened upon a John Denver tribute concert as I crossed Pennsylvania on my thru-hike. Some of my favorite artists were there today - Mack Bailey, Charlie Zahn, Frank DeLaMarre, & I spent the entire afternoon listening to all the great John Denver songs. Just as much fun was meeting & chatting with the friendly folks around me. I was fortunate enough to be given fruit & cookies by people around me, plus I answered a lot of questions about the trail.

After the concert was over, I got a ride back to the trail & hiked about 3 1/2 miles to this little camp spot just off the trail. I had planned a 24 mile day for tomorrow, but I figured it would be nicer to chop that down by heading out a few miles tonight, Now it's late & I'm tired, so it's time to say adieu.
