Harper’s Ferry, the Mason-Dixon Line, Mt Vernon, Gathland, the original midway point of the AT, etc. It’s so interesting to see places like this from a perspective that’s a little off the well-worn tourist paths.28 Jun 2025 12:54 +0000at://did:plc:aa6mlcknu3dpybif4m2yityy/app.bsky.feed.post/3lso77kqw7s24https://bsky.app/profile/joewebb.bsky.social/post/3lslniyyuq22x23 miles into this year’s AT trek, we entered “the rollercoaster.” It’s a 14 mile stretch of trail with 7 tightly packed ascents and descents, each about 500 ft without switchbacks. 500 ft up, 500 ft down, etc. So passing the 1,000 mile point in the rollercoaster was even more rewarding.27 Jun 2025 12:32 +0000at://did:plc:aa6mlcknu3dpybif4m2yityy/app.bsky.feed.post/3lslniyyuq22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/joewebb.bsky.social/post/3lsjcd7aayk2dI’m back from my longest Appalachian Trail so far - 170 miles in 10 days.

The downstairs washer had stopped working. Fortunately, it was an easy fix. I replaced the door lock solenoid and it’s good again. Then, the upstairs A/C unit stopped working. The condensation drain had gotten clogged which triggered the cutoff switch. #DYI08 Jun 2025 13:34 +0000at://did:plc:aa6mlcknu3dpybif4m2yityy/app.bsky.feed.post/3lr3y5krgu22uhttps://bsky.app/profile/joewebb.bsky.social/post/3lqvnxl42qc2vMy view tonight.
