Beautiful, low 70s.
Bob from Cider Mill B&B (645 258-3044) took us back to the trail this morning. Although expensive (most we have paid this trip), the price included dinner, breakfast, and shuttle from and back to the trail. And the meals were incredible.
Nice trail and only 7.3 miles. The trail started at Pochuck Creek Footbridge, a long series of boardwalks. It then climbed what the locals call "Stairway to Heaven". It is almost 1000 ft. vertical. The picture is a view from the top.
The shin splints did better; some pain but better than yesterday. Plan is to do small miles again tomorrow then take a zero day in Greenwood Lake, NY on Tue. We finish NJ tomorrow!!!
We are staying at the Wawayanda Hilton. This is trail humor for a three sided, six person shelter. We are sharing the shelter with Sampson, who also started in HF. He intends to do a thru-hike too.
By the way, Pochunk is Lenape for "out of the way place". Wawayanda is Lenape for "winding waters".
