These photos are from my hike from the Delaware Water Gap to a spot cammed “Lunch Rocks. ” I think it was about 12 or so miles… It was a tough down to the car at the end.  

So.  Saturday night after the Pig Roast (where I only ate sweet stuff for some weird reason) I camped here at the Cabin Craft Campground.  My plan was to hike from here the 6 or 7 miles to Green Lane Park, spend the night there, and hike back. The plan change dramatically.  I’ll get to […]

I got back yesterday from an overnight hike and camp in the Mohonk Preserve. I’ll get to my lower GI distress later. Let me load the photos… Yes.  Messy.  I never pack like this.  I didn’t pack.  I threw it all in and drove! I’ll explain later. When I arrived, I first went for a […]

It has begun. There goes the water.  There goes the fishing. They’re letting out all the water in order to repair the dam. Let me see if I can find some dam photos… Nope. Anyway, what’s supposed to happen is that the empty lake will freeze all the unwanted aquatic plants and our weedy lake […]

So here’s the plan…I park my car at a campsite at Tohickon Campground, a Bucks County park in Point Pleasant,  PA. Hike, with all my gear, across the park to High Rocks and down the ridge to Ralph Stover State Park. The last time I hiked with a loaded pack, I got about 100 yards […]

So…I was at the end of an amazing day. I parked myself along the Coaxing Kill at my favourite spot. The creek winds it’s way over and through the worn granite, on it’s way across the Mo honk Preserve.   I spent about 3 hours here enjoying a Jack Reacher novel.  Then back to Pecks […]

  Second time around on my trip from Smithfield to Dingman’s Ferry along the McDade Trail. On the first run, my friend John got a flat and I really wasn’t ready to be riding yet.  I was still adjusting to my thyroid medication.  First too little then too much.  I was riding on too much […]

Uh, oh. 0700. I went surfing this morning.  7/11 Beach in Ship Bottom on Long Beach Island, NJ.  The swell was small but glassy.  The water was perfect; maybe 70.  I went out and then two other older guys on longboards joined me. I paddled in and caught the first wave I took. Got up […]

Box Turtle. Tortoise. Tortoise is a land critter I thought. Turtle a water guy. So why Box Turtle?  This has nothing to do with what I’m writing. Just liked the picture. This blog is going in a different direction today. More like a diary. There are only a couple of people I know who look […]

There is something about Sunday morning.  It is the start of the end of the weekend.  For me it was the start of settling back into the work week.  The work week that no longer exists for me. It’s different and the same.  There is a rhythm to every week. It repeats; changes as the […]
