Peregrinus (nice name, wanderer), I'm confused.  If you hiked to Duncannon
from Maryland, you crossed the Cumberland Valley which is 18.3 miles from
Alek Kennedy to Darlington Shelters.  Unless you stayed at that spot on the
"other side of the tracks" (literally) in Boiling Springs, you already did
an 18 miler, no?
