This stretch of trail between Harpers Ferry and Duncannon was really flat, fast, and easy. Nevertheless, the fact that we had only hiked half the trail was a bit overwhelming. It was exciting and depressing all at once.
Duncannon was a cool place. We stayed at the historic Doyle Hotel; a run down place with a lot of character and friendly people. A $25 hotel room is hard to find these days! Also found the last good food bargain in this country. For breakfast I had 3 thick, 'big-as-your-head' blueberry pancakes at a diner across the street for $2.90! I couldn't finish them and I have a thru-hikers appetite!! NICE.
