Up at 7:20 and walked down to the spring to wash. Feeling extremely grubby and tired. Broke camp late - 10am and headed for Duncannon. Made the first climb ok - very surprised. Proceeded along the ridge to Hawk's Rock - a beautiful view even though the fog was quite heavy. We didn't realize how high we were. Made the first steep climb down over a remarkable rock slide and descended mountain into town. Ate lunch at Sparkle Restaurant, got some postcards, sent some extra weight home, and called home. Jay got some foam padding for his pack and Don's hip belt. After getting much accomplished, we left town (2pm) and crossed the Susquahanna River. Rested on far side of Clark's Ferry Bridge and then attempted a .4m climb at 80 degree angle that would make a mountain goat squelch. Just made it to the lean-to when a thunderstorm started. Decided to spend the night there. No floor. Had chicken tetrazinni, sang and Don played guitar. Asleep at 10.
