We rented a
PATC cabin this weekend, along with several friends from church. Most PATC cabins are rustic structures in the Blue Ridge, most of them close to the AT. This was one of the few "modern" cabins, with electricity and running water. It was the perfect choice for a relaxing fall weekend. We had a living area and kitchen and one small bedroom, plus a gigantic porch. The cabin was totally surrounded by trees with various shades of fall color on display. It was located just over a mile from the AT, halfway between Caledonia and Pine Grove Furnace State Parks in Pennsylvania. We did a battlefield tour at Gettysburg on Saturday and some hiking on Sunday. Nathaniel and I hiked from 10 miles Caledonia State Park back to the cabin on Sunday afternoon, while the rest of the group opted for a variety of shorter options.
Here is the
approximate location of our adventure.
