After a few days spent waiting for new shoes in Delaware Water Gap, I have finally left Pennsylvania and gone into New Jersey. 1300 miles down, less than 900 to go!

Lots of adventures since I got to New Jersey. A shelter with a donkey, the High Point monument, and camping at a drive in. Yes, we watched a movie - Lightyear!

New York, New York. What a treat it has been to be in this state. The climbs are tough, but the reward is immense. Harriman State Park is an absolute must-see, and Bear Mountain is the beautiful home of the first stretch of Appalachian Trail ever built.

So many milestones, so little time. New York into Connecticut, 1500 miles completed, and Connecticut into Massachusetts. Progress! 😁

The highest point in Massachusetts - Mount Greylock. This point is also notable for being the first summit over 3000' above sea level since the Shenandoahs in Virginia. Time to get back into the tall mountains.

I'd like to thank Vermont for the warm welcome - what gorgeous vistas I've already seen. I'd also like to thank Vermont for showing me more eastern newts - I haven't seen them since about New Jersey, and I've missed them.

Vermont continues to impress, this time with views from Killington, the second highest mountain in the state. Also - less than 500 miles to Katahdin!

Goodbye, Vermont. Thanks for the sunny days. Headed into New Hampshire, home of the White Mountains - and the World's Worst Weather (looking at you, Mount Washington). Here we go!

The Whites have started on a very challenging note. But, I've been rewarded with beautiful sights. Today's views include southern Kinsman, Lonesome Lake, and Mount Liberty - perhaps my favorite view so far.

To give you a sense of the scale out here: look at the buildings in the first picture - that's a ski resort. Now find the buildings in the next few photos.

Some rather windy conditions on top of Mount Washington today. But it takes more than a bit of wind to knock me down 😁

I can't tell you how much blood, sweat, and tears have gone into these milestones. It's been a very, very rough day, but we're getting there. Only 282 miles left!
