Day 73 (September 5)

Today was a short one on the AT. I hiked with Zest to Delaware Water Gap, a small town just over the New Jersey/Pennsylvania border. We hit town after about 10 miles, most of which was downhill. It's nice to be in Pennsylvania and to have completed hiking seven states. I bought a new pair of shoes and three additional pairs of wool (darn tough) socks this afternoon. I sent the old shoes home along with a hat that was too hot. I am sharing a motel room with Zest. We plan to zero tomorrow since it is supposed to rain. The weather is predicted to get cooler Sunday when we will trek into Pennsylvania. Take care.
