Rate this Entry

Day 1 (9/27) High Point Park HQ to Glen Anderson Shelter 11.3 miles Parked at Port Clinton and got a shuttle to High Point. Hiked 2 miles to High Point Shelter in near darkness. Day 2 (9/28) Glen Anderson Shelter to stealth camp near Blue Mountain Lakes Rd 13.6 miles Day 3 (9/29) stealth camp to Delaware Water Gap 17.6 miles Stayed at the Church of the Mountain Hostel Ate at a Italian restaurant in town! There was a"hiker friendly" Outfitter in town that offers shuttles for $2.25 per mile Day 4 (9/30) Delaware Water Gap to Leroy Smith Shelter 20.4 miles Not much in the way of good water on this section even at the shelter it can be scarce and good hike down to get it. But we hiked through the remnants of a hurricane and got off at Wind River Gap to dry off. Stayed at a sleezy hotel run by two old Indian managers who can't maintain a hotel! Not much choice though other then a really short day but then we will have a longer day through the Palmerton Zinc site. Day 5 (10/1) Leroy Smith Shelter to Palmerston Jail 16.7 miles This is our day through a superfund site. Pretty denuded by all accounts. We could take a side trail (1.5 miles) to the town of Palmerton and stay in the old Jail if we want. Day 6 (10/2) George Outerbridge Shelter to Allentown Shelter 16.8 miles Day 7 (10/3) Allentown Shelter to Windsor Furnace Shelter 16.5 miles Day 8 ((10/4) Windsor Furnace Shelter to Port Clinton PA!! 7 m
