 CK goes out for a walk...
Adventures on the Appalachian Trail

August 18 CK crosses into Pennsylvania from New Jersey. 

The Pennsylvania portion of the trail is 232 miles. The Trail enters the state at the Delaware Water Gap, following the eastern rim of the Alleghanies before crossing the Cumberland Valley on its way to Maryland. The Trail in Pennsylvania has the reputation for being just a wee bit rocky.
