My feet are feeling so much better today! The Columbia shoes i have dont rub at all on the blister areas of my heels so its nice to be able to walk again. This morning i made the trek back to town and got my shoes from the post office and mailed my Merrells to my folks house. A little surprise from my mother was some of her homemade chocolate chip cookies!!! Thanks mom. I grabbed a breakfast sandwich from the deli and went back to the shelter where A-Bomb had been waiting for me. A cool thing was on the way back from town I saw a porcupine. That's the second one i have ever seen in my life and first i have seen in the wild. We didn't get on the trail until 9:15am but we only had 18 miles to do so there was no rush. Right at lunch time we passed High Point state parks visitor center where they give a free can soda to thru hikers. No NOBO's had ever talked about NJ being rocky but it is. It is very flat but rocky in portions and is a prelude to what Pennsylvania will be like. Water still isnt readily available but the cooler temperature during the day helps a lot. I believe we finished the day at 4pm. We hauled butt. It was nice hiking with A-Bomb all day its not often i get to talk to people because i hike so fast. Tomorrow i have a big day planned with 31 miles to Delaware Water Gap, PA.
