AT 89 - 23rd June (1160.9)

Peter Mountain Shelter


Forced myself to sleep in because it is going to be a short day. Went across the road for breakfast and ate as much as I could. Packed and headed out at 10. Crossed the Juniata river, seemingly the biggest non navigable river in USA. It’s really wide but not deep. One climb and then along a ridge to Peter Mountain Shelter. Lots of people here but shelter is big enough. 


Thought for the day. 


As I walked out of town I was thinking how rundown it was. But some houses made an effort to have nice flowers which brightened things up. 


In one beautiful garden there was this verse on a decorated board. 


Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.


That encourage me as I left a soft bed for the floor of a shelter. Also it was raining so not an easy walk. I think the verse is talking about spiritual working for Christ but it can be both. 





No views today



I didn’t know snakes climb trees!!!
