Barrett Road, where the trail comes out, is my go to off the mountain and to do our Grocery Shopping at the ShopRite by the Drive-In…. Been driving that road since it was dirt! Had I’d known your timing I would have been glad to have shuttled you wherever you needed to go 😊…. I’m sure you’re long gone though here by now ….Maybe next time 😉…Happy & Safe hiking

    Thanks for sharing your features and the wonderful scenery of NJ and NY states. I am of Ojibway background and I often wondered how they were able to migrate to different hunting grounds from the St Laurance or Great Lakes. It seems that if you follow natural terrain features South, it is possible to get over those Appalachian Mountain ranges.

    Hitching in NY sucks! It's technically illegal, but also folks just don't pick people up. I was with three other people at the ice cream place you're probably going to get to in the next vlog, and we were trying to hitch to the drive-in from there. All experienced hitchers, one was a girl. We were spread out at different places along the road/parking lot. After an hour we gave up and called a shuttle.

    Ok, here’s a random question…
    I noticed that you use your COROS watch for step count, calories burned, etc.
    I have a COROS Pace 2 watch, and on my AT section hike last week I saw that if I’m using trekking poles, the COROS step count is always lower than the step count on my iPhone health app. Sometimes the difference is 10 to 15%.
    Have you seen this? (if I’m not using trekking poles, the step count is equal.)
