Day 70 (September 2)


I left my stealth camp at 6:30 a.m. this morning. My plan was to do 10 miles ending up in Unionville, NY (the trail goes along the border between NJ and NY for a few miles). The plan worked well -- except for 90 degree heat, high humidity, and bloodsucking hoards of mosquitoes. Several miles were flat, however, and I reached Unionville shortly after noon. I don't think I could have gone much farther. 

I am camping in the city park; there's a pizza place and general store with a deli within a block. I'm trying to hydrate for tomorrow's hike. 

I went across about a mile of board walk and bridges today spanning an extensive marshy area. Very pretty; must have been a ton of work and very expensive. I haven't talked to a thru-hiker all day. Take care.
