Thunderstorm Season

It had been hot and humid!! Yesterday got near 100 degrees, with 100% humidity it was not a day to be outside. Despite that, Suzie from the Dessin Animal Shelter came down with her cutie Mackie and we walked for a whole.... 1/2 mile!! We then quickly retreated to the A/C of Suzie's car and then a bakery for lunch. After some loverly sandwiches, Suzie dropped us off again at the Delaware Water Gap info center, and though we had been planning on hiking some more miles that afternoon, we ended up waiting out thunderstorm after thunderstorm until we eventually decided to just sleep on the porch of the center! We awoke early this morning (430 AM) and did a quick 17 miles until T-storms once again forced us off of the trail. We are now being treated to food, showers, beds, and movies by the Ken-Etiwa-Pec YMCA Outdoor Center. Yay for beds and free food!!!

All adventures are full of turmoil, and today proved it; while attempting to outrun the T-storm, we made a wrong turn and ended up over 2 miles not only from where we wanted to be, but sturdy shelter of any kind. We happened to have been hiking on a road, and just as we were about to put up our tent and hide a father and son came along and offered us a ride back to where we needed to be; thank goodness for Angels!!! Though our first day in NJ was a bit on the wacky side, we look forward to cooler weather tomorrow, as well as a hot breakfast to eat and a lake to let the Rox-star (AKA Roxi, Roxidoodle, Wookie) swim in!

Pics to be added in the next few days,
