I thought I saw a bear this morning. Something large and black made a crashing sound in the woods. It then turned and ran. I only caught a glimpse of it. So I can’t be positive. Maybe a bear, maybe something else. 

The hike was pretty flat and smooth approaching Delaware Water Gap. That was a nice change from the rocks. But once I reached the Gap, it was a steep descent to the river. 

The trail passes through town. I stopped at the outfitter and bought new socks. I needed some with a bit more cushion. Besides that, I didn’t even stop. No food, no soda. What’s wrong with me?

From town, it’s across the bridge to the Visitors Center. Along the way I crossed into NJ. Not gonna lie…I’m glad to be out of PA. 

Now to meet Dave for some beer, food, rest, and resupply. 

I’m sure a good time will be had!
