30 April - near Ashfield Rd., Lehigh Furnace Gap


Warm spring day - high in mid 70s.  Cool this morning but who cares.  We were inside.

"PA Rocks" is NOT a compliment but a statement about the most significant feature of the AT in Pennsylvania.  I know there are a lot of rocks in these mountains but I swear they go out of their way make you climb up and over too many of them - when there is perfectly level ways around either side, and when there is no view at the top.  I wonder how many injuries there have been over the years.

The picture is the second snake we saw today.  This one helped Wendy decide we should keep hiking and sleep at a campsite.

We are now only about 5+ mi. from Palmerton / Lehigh Gap.  I think we may take a zero day too since the forecast is for rain and thunderstorms.
