At Pen-Mar county park we reached the Maryland/Pennsylvania border and the Mason Dixon line. There was a huge crowd of people and we were looking for the snack bar we'd heard of. The man in the center of the picture (John Kelley - and family) saw we were hikers and offered us two extra tickets to the Patriot Federal Credit Union annual cookout. Wow! A great meal. Then he lent us his van to go resupply, then he put us in touch with another former hiker who takes in hikers, and 20 minutes later we were on the road to the house of Bernard and Rhoda Custer - who's internet I'm now using. Such wonderful people. We're clean, dry, full, and happy. We are truly blessed.

Hey Y'all John and Pete from Fido here!
We thought we'd drop a line now that you are halfway.... Congrats--
Oh, Anitra, yeah--uuummm, could you come run this food real quick?
No really- just wanted to say that you guys are halfway? That's far enough now, aint it?
Come on home, sit a spell.
Hope you are well- We miss you
Love
All of Us!
Hi there =)
This is Anitra's cousin Kathy just checking in to let you know that Brian and I are enjoying following your blog and the photos are PHENOMENAL! So happy to know that you're having a great time and hope to see you both in person in the not too distant future!
Much Love,
Kathy
Alright, Grizzly Adams. Work that beard!
You guys are awesome. Congrats on reaching the halfway point.

I'm Dave, the leader of the hiking group who gave you the juice and snacks on 7/22 at Upper Goose Pond in Massachusetts.
We enjoyed chatting with you. We didn't encounter any more thru-hikers on the trail, but we left the rest of our snacks at the cabin. The caretaker said someone would certainly emjoy them.
We saw that you thanked us via an entry in the logbook along the trail. You're certainly welcome.
Hope you made Dalton, Mass. (your destination for the day) with no problems.
Keep plugging away--you'll be in Maine before you know it!
Dave
