NJ in the Rain

 May 28th.   Wednesday 

Sometimes I have a hard time making decisions.  Currently that includes how much of New Jersey I still want to hike.  The distance between places to camp are a little far for me, at least with a heavy pack on.  Originally I was going to hike around Sunfish Pond today.  A weird thing happened though, I kept falling asleep on the way here.  I pulled in to a rest area, and would fall asleep.  Eventually, I ended up going to a campground instead of a trail.  I set up in the light rain.  Tomorrow I will hike around Sunfish Pond.  

Today wasn't all waiting for the rain to stop.  I took a walk in it, around five miles or so near the campground and the road nearby.  It wasn't raining too hard when I started out.  Eventually it rained a little heavier.  I should have put on my poncho instead of the jacket I was wearing.  Oh, well.  Things dry.

As I write this,  there is something swimming in the river by me.  I would find this interesting in the daylight.  At night, I wonder why I chose this campsite, away from others.   Whatever it is doesn't seem to be too large, so not a bear.  Probably a beaver or an otter.  I'm tired enough I think I'll be able sleep.

The pictures downloaded in the opposite order than they should have so the first picture is a little after sunset.  The river is quite lovely.  I'm curious how high the water was a few weeks ago. 


Almost dark.
