Day 85 of the Appalachian Trail hike presents a mix of relaxation and exploration in Duncannon. The group, including Brock 'Dubs' Miller, Birdy, Shooter, and Big Stick, starts the day with a slow morning, avoiding strenuous hiking. They visit the local convenience store for a quick resupply, then head to the outfitter for a few essentials. The lack of options leads them to The Pub, where they spend the afternoon, charging devices, working on blog posts, and enjoying refreshments. The group decides against hiking, opting instead to check into the Church Hostel in town, a short walk along the trail. There, they reunite with Frog and Turbo, enjoying the hostel's amenities and indulging in ice cream. Back at The Pub, they savor dinner and drinks, playing music and socializing until closing time. The day's activities provide a welcome break from hiking, offering a chance to recharge and connect with fellow hikers. Despite the minimal movement, the experience highlights the importance of flexibility and enjoyment in outdoor adventures.
