New Jersey has woods?

Finally out of Pa! The night after Delaware Water Gap we spent at our friend, Brian Fried's house. His parents were kind enough to provide us a bed to sleep in, let us take a hot shower and even tolerate our smell! What a difference from a tent! We were the guinea pigs for Brian's first batch of scrambled eggs ever in the morning and it seems he is a promising chef!

Since then we have been pushing it to get out of New Jersey and New York by the 18th. 74 miles in four days so far! Animal sightings: a whole family of turkeys, 3 salamanders, loads of squirrels, at least 10 frogs, an 8 pt deer 10 yds away and 10 ticks.

New Jersey is also surprisingly swampy. The picture below shows the mile long boardwalks through the swamps. The pond is Sunfish Pond, the first glacier created body of water we hit. The monument is High Point Monument, marking the highest point in New Jersey.
