7\/17\/12 – 1287 miles
\nToday was a zero day. I’m here in Delaware Water Gap waiting for the worst of the heat to pass. There are a lot of hikers in town and many are moving out tomorrow, creating a bubble that keeps growing as we move north. I think everyone is finding a place in the hiker community, joining other hikers with the same interests and pace, hanging around with people whose personality we like, moving as a group but individually as well.<\/p>\n
My break has allowed some of the hikers behind to catch up. I met up with Kleenex, Nooga, and Bandana – hiking for the past three hundred miles a couple of days behind me – and had breakfast and lunch with them. Nooga, Bandana, and I even shuttled over to Strausburg to see the new Spiderman movie.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I will make a short hike up to a place called the Mohican Outdoor Center and camp there. The heat is supposed to break after that and I plan on making some good miles – no zeros for awhile – through NJ and NY.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
