6/5. PAin PA is a pain in the feet, knees, legs and when you wipe out a lot more hurts. Seems no matter what age you are your feet feel bruised and sore at the end of the day. I had breakfast with A Train and Grease spot at Berts. Breakfast is very good there while supper sucked. The rain tapered off as we finished and we got a ride to the trailhead from Soul-flute, a past thru hiker. We met Shy Bear at the trail head. The hike up the gap was very hard. Steep with places where I would have to hold on to a rock edge and pull myself up while my feet were on a 5 ledge. It was just like places in Acadia NP. Much of the rock face was still damp so that made it more challenging but we made it. I had left my camera deep in my pack (so I thought) and there wasnt any way I was digging it out. Turns out it was on the top, oh well. The damage from the zinc mining still scars the mountain. The 15 miles after that were relative flat but of course we had rocks. Grease Spot wiped out behind me and for a few seconds he didnt move but he was just bruised and scraped up. Im sure hell be feeling it tomorrow. Tomorrow I will push for 20.2 miles to get to Delaware Water Gap. By Sunday I will be in my birth state of NJ and never hike in PA again.
