We are harbored safe and dry for a day in Delaware Water Gap. We hiked through a lot of cold and heavy rain in New Jersey but made it to PA just in time on Thursday for the local Presb. church's weekly potluck for hikers. It was like heaven!
We've hiked for the last week with our friend Stretch who caught up with us in Vernon after coming back from a wedding out west. It's nice to have the company. His girlfriend, Sarah, met him in DWG for labor day on Thursday as well. With the use of her car, all four of us were able to hike the next 16 miles to Wind Gap tag team style with just day packs. They hiked north and we hiked south driving their car to the PO in Wind Gap and then back to the church hostel where we were all staying in DWG. It was a great way to have an easy day but at the same time cover some distance and get a mail drop.
It was pretty incredible to come down off the mountain right at the road in Wind Gap and have a car waiting for us to drive! We're taking today off since 5 inches of rain are predicted for this area. Hopefully we'll be back out there tomorrow all ready to tackle the infamous rocks of PA. We'll be in Port Clinton, PA four days from tomorrow if all goes well.
