21 mile slack pack back to Trail of Hope

After a pancake breakfast, Minister Sandy drove us to Pine Grove Furnace St. Pk., where we find the AT museum not opening until noon. Joe, Joey and I start walking back at 9am, mostly easy trail in bright sunshine. Since it's Saturday lots of hikers out, even two maintainer groups building water bars. Some shade underneath the pines, even a slight breeze, makes this a great day to be skipping lightly down the trail. We pass the half way marker, though it still represents the 2014 mileage, not the new official 2015 1/2 way point 4 miles further south.
Get back at 6pm, just in time for dinner, turkey for some, sweet potatoes, stuffing, corn, cornbread and cake for us all.
