July 4th, Saturday

Happy fourth of July everyone. Today I woke up and took
off for the trail about seven thirty. It was a nice little
climb out of Delaware Water Gap onto Mount Minsi. Nice
view here and there on the way up. Once on the ridge I
took my time heading down the trial. I ran into a little
fawn deer who after a brief hesitation, ran off. It still
had its spots on it. Funny I didnt see the mother
anywhere. I stopped in one nice area and put up my hammock
to chill for a bit since I had a few hours to kill before
going to my sisters for celebrations. Just as I was about
to get into my hammock a lady came down the trail heading
north and said that some guys stayed at the spot I had
just pitched my hammock in- and they said there is a large
black bear in the area that had passed by. I said thanks
and went to sleep. I like bears. I was hoping to see the
black bear but he (or she) didnt come back while I was
there (unless I slept thru it). The celebrations was fun.
I had picked up some fireworks prior to arriving at my
sisters. The roadside stands are very expensive in this
day and age. I only bought like five fireworks and it
costs me $46 dollars. two where pretty cool and the rest
were lame. Oh well...we had a great time hanging out and
grubbing off the grill. Played horse shoes and some other
throwing game I never heard of but it was fun.
