Park Ave and other side trails

Since the last post we have made it out of New Jersey, through New York and into Connecticut. During this time, we have had a couple exciting adventures. We ate a meal with Angel Huertas, a former gang lord of New York turned good guy, author and apparently trail angel. We were kidnapped by Ricky's sister Annie and Margaret's friend Sonya and taken from the heart of the wilderness into the heart of the big apple. It was quite the humbling experience to be the smelliest one on the subway. We went swimming in nuclear lake. And we successfully navigated a severe thunderstorm. Tomorrow night we are looking forward to staying with some of Ricky's relatives in Connecticut where we can hopefully dry off.
