Palmerton

"The things we refuse are the things we can use." I enjoyed his quote written in one of the shelter journals. 

Still cruising through PA. I have hiked most of this state with a group of six others. We hiked a short seven miles into Palmerton, and joined up with some of Medicine Man's friends. After some great grub at the local diner, we showered! (Thanks Jess)

Our initial plan was to spend the afternoon rock climbing. However, after a few Summer Shandys our risk assessment suggested otherwise.

We enjoyed relaxing on the porch, sharing a few drinks, good company and many laughs. They grilled steaks and salmon for dinner and took GREAT care of us!

Several of Medicine Man's friends from work (ER nurse) shared work stories he had missed. I was  reminded of how consuming the work culture is! I have learned, and been witness to how challenging it is to find a healthy balance.

Strive for balance.

Local barber shop super hiker friendly. You share a story they share coffee and cookies!
