16.5 miles in that weather is fantastic. Wrll done. Thinking of you and the other hikers, out there hiking. Congratulations to your friends and their amazing promotions and for all of you and your service to keep America safe. God Bless and be safe out there. 😊🇺🇲🛥

That was the TINIEST tick! I don't know how you even saw that! 🤢🕷 Glad you did!! You two are doing so well! Thank you for sharing! Colorado Girl

[@heather__hikes]

Me either haha

[@flowerpower1980]

We discovered raw milk when we lived in Lancaster, PA…..the best! So happy that SC is also a “raw milk” state. Stay safe in this heat! And thanks for the info on the Chicken Legs….might not have dawned on me to try on the men’s version. Smart cookie!

I love that little roadside stand. Definitely the best chocolate milk I’ve ever had. I downed 2 of those😊

[@heather__hikes]

@@stanthemanhikes2965 it was SO good

[@ijblessjourney]

You are doing it the smart way, love it!!!

[@suemoore1965]

That heat was relentless 😮

[@heather__hikes]

It was 🥵

[@amynapier3551]

There is no escaping that heat. So glad you have amazing hosts who are taking care of you.

I guess with that heat index it gives a new meaning to the town name of "Boiling" Springs. Wise choice to have a cool place to sleep after a day out in that heat!

[@heather__hikes]

You right! 🤣

[@ijblessjourney]

I hiked this portion yesterday and will be slacking into Duncannon today. ~ 14 miles

[@heather__hikes]

See… it’s the ticks that keep me from doing the trail. Ticks terrify me 😣

[@heather__hikes]

Same 😖

[@jhayft0703]

So did he get new shoes???

[@heather__hikes]

This was so long ago I honestly don’t remember lol

[@sarafair327]

Aside from your shirt and hat, are you doing anything else to protect from sun?

[@heather__hikes]

Sunscreen and making sure our breaks are in the shade. My shirt also has a hood that I put up when I’m in the exposed areas.

Chomp down garlic, onions, vitmian B1 ...yu will most likely stink but a Tick will stay clear of stopping in for a snack ... you should be into he BLACK FLIES by now... you will want to end it all Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler

[@heather__hikes]
