Chew up a few oero cookies while you're waiting... make the dentist earn his $$$ today.

Did I tell anyone that I hate working Mondays.

Everyone who worked the weekend drops all their chit in my department. Now I have to go through it. It's even worse when you are by yourself.

That gimmick works both ways, right??? I mean, who works Saturday mornings???

JLarson

Morning all! Hope you had a great 4th/extended weekend!

I certainly enjoyed mine, though as I mentioned, it turned out to be a little more epic than I had planned

Brief synopsis: Team met up Wednesday after work, packed into my wife's G37x (we barely fit 4 people and 4 packs) and headed to New York. Stayed in Westkill overnight.

Thursday, had transit arranged with a local service. We dropped the G at the end of the Devil's Path on Spruceton Rd, and took a shuttle to the start point on Prediger Rd. Started the hike by 9 am, hiked a bit over 10 miles to our first stopping point. My brother Joe is a diabetic, and typically his first few hours hiking are miserable - although he's very strong, very into weight lifting, his blood sugar goes all over the place and usually this means he vomits a lot until everything normalizes, takes about 3 hours, but I try not to overextend us on Day 1 as a result. We made camp around 4 pm.

We decided to hike the rest of the path Friday, instead of splitting it between Friday and Saturday. According to the map, it's about 14.8 miles remaining, albeit difficult miles (lots of steep ascents followed by precipitous descents). Got a solid start, we were on the trail before 7:30 am.

Turns out the map was a little bit off both in the mapping of distance and terrain. I know volunteer organizations are responsible for at least some of the trail maps in NJ/NY, but this is the 2nd time we've run into this kind of issue (I'm also somewhat spoiled because the White Mountains are mapped so much better by comparison). Distance was off by somewhere between 4 and 6 miles, based on separate GPS tools. As I'm sure most of you are aware, there's a sizeable difference in hiking 15 vs 19-20 miles, especially over really rough terrain. With my wife on the trip I would not have signed us up for that, had I known, but we did finish around 5:45 pm. No deaths! Pictures to follow.

Some pictures, in no particular order.

My wife was definitely less excited about finishing the climb up Plateau Mt. than I was, as you can see from the picture

I wouldn't look very excited either, if I had to lug all ya'lls **** up that mountain. Where's your backpack?!

If I wanted to carry my own pack, I wouldn't have brought my wife!

(It's leaning against a tree somewhere behind us)

Our 4th party member, Dave, took some pretty good pictures here. There are a few too many selfies mixed in (next time I'll work harder to break his spirit) but some great shots of the trail, in case anyone is interested.

Gorgeous morning here in SE Michigan, got down in to the mid 50s last night. Today, nothing but blue sky's and sunshine w/ a high of 81* shut off the air and opened the windows.
Y'all have a great day and enjoy.

Slamming the door and overloading the toilet and twisting?

You'd hope they weren't doing something else....
