Day 8. Or the day it rained all day.

We left the comfort of the Days Inn in Waynesboro at around 9am and we're back on the trail by 9:30am. We quickly crossed the Mason-Dixon Line and we're officially back in the North! It has been a rainy Saturday and the forecast promises more of the same tomorrow. But we made excellent time today, doing almost 9 miles before we stopped at the Tumbling Run shelter. Both shelters were pretty much full so we set up the tents underneath a pavilion so we wouldn't have to deal with wet tents in the morning. 

Taking the zero day yesterday made a huge difference on the ankle, it felt worlds better today. I was able to set a pretty good pace. Coin Flip is convinced that he's not going to be able to keep up with me soon, but I have my doubts. 

Tomorrow we have our sights set on Fayetteville, PA and a hostel there. It will be our first hostel stay. It's about 10 miles further along the trail so we'll see how the day goes.
