Allentown
Greetings!
We are alive and well - as Karina alluded to. We've been hiking hard and fast, as the rain and torential downpours push us onward. We've had perhaps 2 days this whole trip without rain. A lot different than my last outing. We called yesterday afternoon to a friend of Tails' *(Keith's trailname) from college who lives near here. He graciously agreed to meet us on a road near Allentown. Little did he know at the time that he would take us to chinese food, then bring us home to his parents house and let us shower and eat and most likely sleep here too. It's wonderful and clean and bug free! I love showers. I love food.
We are scheduled to rendezvous with our pick up on Friday around noon, and with 37 miles left and 4 days, we are in good shape. We've been averaging 15 or so a day - yesterday was too far at 21 miles, but it wasn't raining - so we felt we had to take advantage. We walked into the mall today for chinese and when we walked out - the downpour had been so hard that there were rivers on the road.
Maybe I'll post more later - but we're doing well.

Great to hear you are back on the trail. Every once in a while I get to boast about my senior year roommate who completed half of the AT. I hope you can complete it sometime. Enjoy!
