Day 83, Rausch Gap Shelter

Last night we had rain showers with additional rain predicted for today. It was a typical PA hiking day staring at my feet ending at the Rauch gap shelter where a hiker named Leaf blower arrived with his leaf blower. This guy has been hiking with the blower from the beginning with the intention to carry it to the end of the trail-crazy (note he apparently had to replaced the motor in TN where he bought a new one and exchanged the motors leaving the new leaf blower at a hostel which is mounted on the wall).
