Day 117

Weather:
Sunny in the morning. Severe afternoon t-storm.

Today's Hike:
Camping/powerline to Campsite -19.0 miles

After a short but exhausting day yesterday, we were all on a mission to make up miles today. The hike wasn't particularly fun, but we were making good progress over the famous rocks of PA. Then, in the late afternoon a horrible thunderstorm passed over and for two miles we thought we were going to die. We had no choice but to keep trudging through. By 5pm the rain had stopped, but we were drenched. We plugged away until nightfall and set up camp after finishing 19 miles; 1 mile short of our goal.

Looking forward to the Delaware Water Gap tomorrow, and its famous bakery :)
