I was surprised by New Jersey, so much swamp/wet lands... spent a lot of time walking on boardwalks, or around ponds... the ground was wet and muddy which I did not expect considering that it had not rained

Calling for temps around 90 again today, makes for a fun day of hiking... water is plentiful so it will be enjoyable
New Jersey... sometimes we visit places and simply take some things for granted, well I appreciated one very important but often forgotten thing abour New Jersey and that is their facilities have really nice toilet paper... not the sandpaper type or the so narrow type you can not figure out which finger to cover but the soft and wide type... New Jersey has made an impression on me, one that I will recall as I visit other facilities in these great states of ours!!!
Today was another record setting day for temperatures, felt like 95 I called it a day around noon, did laundry and relaxed.

The place we were directed to was closed also!
It is enjoyable to approach a squirrel or chipmunk and hear them scurrying away... birds faking injury as they flee their nest attempting to draw predators away... the doe blowing just before she runs away, jumping almost everything in her way with ease but it is not enjoyable hearing someone talking a half mile away as if the person or persons next to them have difficulty hearing... if that were the case then by all means speak up but in this case it is not... I tend to either hurry along or slow down and let them pass...

If one tries hard enough this can taste just like a hamburger... guess i needto try harder
I have done before and after of myself, really should do some of my pack... very few items hanging off of it...
Tomorrow, 06/11/2017 I start New Jersey... have a bridge to walk across to be out of Pennsylvania and done withthis state. I feel the rocks in Pennsylvania being an issue comes down to attitude. Granted the state has more rocks than the other states I have hiked, they are also different, smaller with points so they tend to hurt when you step on them. Personally I had not issues with missing the rocks...
I am sure New Jersey will have its share of rocks in the beginning but they will fade away. This next section covers three states, seems like time passes quicker when the trail is shorter in a state. Went under 900 miles today, chipping away at the miles, destination is getting closer.
