| Double R at the midpoint Historically once a thru hiker passes this mid way point they try their luck with eating a half gallon of ice cream from the Pine Grove Furnace General Store. This is called the half gallon challenge. Tom and Double R hit that mile marker yesterday about lunchtime. In years past if you could do it you did not have to pay for your ice cream . Nowadays you get to keep a commemorative spoon and leave with a full stomach. |

| He did it! Before Tom took off again today mid afternoon, he and Double R ate at Boiling Springs Tavern. Double R was waiting on a care package with supplies and Tom wanted to keep on hiking so that he can meet up with his niece Stephanie and her fiancé Matt by the weekend.  |
