MO: PA AT Pine Grove Furnace to Rt 443 (78.5)

I plan to complete the AT PA section during this summer so I try to some every week. I hope that some of you can join me. This trip will be about 78.5 miles (option 1- 15/27.5/15/23, option 2 15/27.5/34/4)

Here is the itinerary:
We will meet at 3.30 pm on Thursday at Grosvenor-Strathmore metro parking area (https://maps.app.goo.gl/RfWpd3f8LSg1dM9w7). Then we will drive to PA Rt 443 Parking, and shuttle back to Pine Grove Furnace State Park area (about 80 minute drive: drive direction) .
Day 1: We will hike 15 miles from Pine Grove to Alec Kennedy Shelter
Day 2: We will hike to Cove Mountain Shelter 27.5 miles
Day 3: We will Hike to either Peter Mtn Shelter ( 15 miles) or Rausch Gap Shelter ( 34 miles). I wish that there is another shelter/campsite between these two but it does not show on the map.
Day 4: If we stay at Peter Mtn Shelter then we will hike 23 miles to PA Rt 443 Parking or if we stay at Rausch Gap Shelter, then we will only have 4 miles to go.

I need to be back by 3 pm on Saturday so if we vote to do 23 miles, we will have to start hiking out early (~5:30 am).
