This was Day 1 of a very short two day hike on the AT South, from PA 645 parking to the William Penn Shelter and then back over to the 501 Shelter. This section between 645 and William Penn was very easy, nearly flat, and pretty much rock free. There were limited views through the trees along this section of trail. The tent sites and spring are off the trail to the North along a short blue blaze trail. The sprig was working well and there are a huge number of great tent sites. The shelter and privy are off to the South along another short blue blaze trail. The shelter is one of the better ones I’ve seen. It is two stories and has a nice fire pit. The privy gets a solid B. There was a small group there when I arrived, which is why I decided to stay here for the night instead of hiking another 4 miles back to the 501 Shelter. I’ll post 501 Shelter as a part 2 to this video. We got a nice fire going and played a game of Exploding Kittens (I won) and then we called it a night. It was about 30 degrees overnight and it flurried a bit. My Enlightened Equipment Enigma-H.E. Custom 30 degree quilt kept me warm. This is my liast hike for 2018. Have a Happy New Year!
Mileage from PA 645 to William Penn was only 2.1 miles. Day 2 I hiked back to the 501 shelter and then to the 645 parking making for a 8.2 mile total trip.
