Hello New Jersey…

…well, tomorrow. 🙂

Taking a day off in Delaware Water Gap…resting the dawgs and consuming way too much town food. Here are some moments from our last week in Pennsylvania.

  2. I remember Round Lake Park in northwestern New Jersey where Uncle Bill cured the mother of all headaches by making me hike to the trail and down to the lake to watch the full moon rise; I left you Jess, asleep in the tent without a guard. I am asking for your forgiveness now, but if you find that lost headache while passing through, just keep hiking and pay it no mind.
