Barefoot Hiker Reaches 1200 Miles - Schuylkill Haven, PA

I decided to rest up at the Rock N Sole Hostel after a resupply. Craig and his family does a wonderful job as a bed and breakfast for weary hikers like myself. Bunkroom and basement accommodate a good number of hikers, while large portions at dinner and breakfast add to the luxurious ambience of a mountain cottage. I'm in high spirits as I reach Lehigh Gap and the start of Pennsylvania's rougher sections. My shoes, Salomon Trail Runners are being eaten alive; here's hoping they last a little while longer. #appalachiantrail2017 #at2017 #appalachiantrail #thetrek #blogger #vlogger #hiketheat #hikethewhites #hiking #hikingculture #backpacking #roamtheplanet #pennsylvania
