Got a ride north to Pa 3254, and slacked southward back to the Stardust motel.

Hike Naked Day!!! Apparently you're supposed to hike naked on the solstice... :-O Ruth said they both kept their clothes on, however.

Some previous journal entries about it from other hikers:

June 25: Serenity Now

June 21st saw us tramping out of Duncannon on a well-established ritual day for the trail: Naked Hiking Day. On the summer solstice every year, hikers the A.T. over shed every bit of clothing (aside from their boots, of course) and tramp along the trail in only their birthday suits. Our dynamic duo managed to pass several section hikers who had little idea of what we were doing, and crossed a heavily-trafficked road to the tooting of many a horn
