The Appalachian Trail led us through Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania today. It was about a six mile hike down the ridge line and since it rained the night before, our shoes and socks soaked up the dew on the trail vegetation.
Once in town we showered, dried out our shoes and socks and hit the local bakery. As tempting as it was to pack out an entire cake, we had fun picking out a smaller but still tasty option.
Back on the trail, we walked through a construction site to get to the Interstate 80 toll bridge over the Delaware River into New Jersey. It was a little nerve-racking when the semi trucks would pass us and shake the bridge!
We entered into the Delaware Water Gap National Park and were soon introduced to the New Jersey rocks.
Once back up on the ridge line we had a beautiful view at Sunfish Pond and another on Kittatinny Mountain. We set up camp a short ways after and were inundated with TICKS!!
We stripped down and inspected as best we could. As we listened to the nightly thunderstorm, we couldn't help but double, triple and quadruple check every time we felt the slightest tickle.
The "true love" picture reminds me of the one time you were a piece of pizza for Halloween!
