VMO: NOBO AT Clark Valley Road to DE Water Gap (~130 miles)

I am trying to complete the AT PA section on this trip. Last time, it was so hot that I did not complete the last 14 miles. But this week, the forecast calls for around 80 for high and 60 for low. So this will be a much better weather condition for backpacking.

*** If you are unable to join the whole trip but would like to do part of the trail, please feel free to message me. We can organize how to meet on the trail and work out the logistics of the shuttle. I am DESPERATE for a ride so I can really complete this section without having to do out and back (that I had to do on several trips by myself). lol *****

Here is the itinerary:
We will meet at 12 noon on Wed at Grosvenor-Strathmore metro parking area (https://maps.app.goo.gl/RfWpd3f8LSg1dM9w7). Then we will drive to DE Water gap, and shuttle back to PA Route 225 (about 2 hour drive (111 miles): drive direction) .
Day 1: We will hike 20 miles from PA Route 225 (Clark Valley Rd) to Swatara Gap Stealth Sites
Day 2: We will hike to Eagles Nest Shelter 28.5 miles
Day 3: We will Hike to Eckville Shelter ( 27 miles)
Day 4: We will hike to Leroy A. Smith Shelter (27.5 miles)
Dy 5: We will hike to DE Water Gao (20 miles)
