Excellent breakfast at Nostalgic Dreams, and a restful night until around 5am when the cat began meowing to get in the bathroom window. Back to the Pen Mar park at 9, cool and cloudy. Joe and Joey (trail names Luquillo and Master Jedi) are long time section hikers from Florida, 9 years of sectioning to get this far.
They are on tight schedules, overly ambitious in terms of miles compared to their level of fitness. But we hiked the 18 miles readily enough today, in pleasant conversation, to this hostel. The hostel owner had shuttled them yesterday morning from the airport and will collect them at Duncannon in a few days. Trail of Hope Outreach Ministries just opened last year, but generous with food when we arrive: pasta, brocoli, garlic bread and even cake for dessert.
Tomorrow after early pancakes we'll slackpack back here 21 miles carrying just food and water and minimum pack weight.

Nice blog. At the Fayettville Hostel, Trail of Hope Outreach Ministries, was there and was it clean and safe.
