Back out on the trail; but, with Dad

Delaware Water Gap to Mohican Outdoor Center 11 miles

The family got up at 6AM and got everything together. We were supposed to all leave at 6:30 but it was apparent that that wasn’t about to happen. So we got it together eventually, threw everything together and sat in the driveway while we kept remembering things and running back into the house to get them. When we finally got on the road we had a couple of hours to drive up tot the Delaware Water Gap and I passed out on the way. It was raining a little and we stopped in some crazy place to get gas. JESUS GAS IS EXPENSIVE. I’ve been on the trail so long I haven’t notice but you guys are paying WAY TOO MUCH for gas. It’s time to blow up another one of those OPEC countries again. Where’s George Bush when you need him. Let’s take out Saudi Arabia this time! We really need to take those bastards out after Iran. Anyway, we got on the trail by 11 or so and headed up the trail with Dad leading the way. His trail name is Pennsylvania Mongoose. That’s been his CB handle since forever so we’ll take that until we give him one. We had a short incline and then a really rocky flat. The elevations are not really changing at all but the rocky grounds are making it tough to go at any good speed. Dad’s on his first day too so we’re taking it easy. We got in to the Mohican Outdoor Center and got some sandwiches from Dave at the center and then I played some instruments. They had a piano and a guitar and bongos so we all fooled around after we set up our tents and we hung out with Sara from Hungary. Sleep was wonderful. The skies threatened hail and thunderstorms but it never came to pass.
