It got pretty cold this morning again, and pretty nice again throughout the day. We had another long day through New Jersey covering 22 miles of rocky trail. We stopped about six miles in for coffee and a breakfast sandwich at Joe to Go and met perhaps the least friendly proprietor on the trail. I don’t think it was because he didn’t like hikers, he didn’t seem very talkative or cordial in general. Three of us walked into the little shop and he stood up and watched us without offering any greeting. Still he made a good sausage/egg/cheese sandwich.
It was a long day, not much eventful happened. More miles, a little closer to Katahdin. Hopefully getting near the end of the PA & New Jersey rocks. There’s been a couple of watchtowers again, something that’s been missing pretty much since the end of the Smokeys. These ones are nice and stable and tall, but there’s always a lot of man made stuff nearby, especially power lines obstructing the view.
