On the Trail Again - Heading North

October 20, 2012
Newark, DE to Landenberg, PA
section miles: 7     total miles: 177

I've forgotten how to do this. Not the blog - I'm talking about the hiking. I stepped in the door today at noon, and there was Rene, waiting patiently with the backpacks loaded.

"We're going to finish this. Let's go."

"Or?"

"The dehumidifier is not draining."

"Oh... right...  I'll get my boots."


So we're back at it.  It's a mere stone's throw to finish up at the northern terminus of the Mason Dixon Trail in Chadd's Ford - twenty-some miles away from our house - and we'll do it in three legs.  Today was an easy jaunt through White Clay Creek State Park and a few blocks through our neighborhood. We wondered aloud how many times we have walked this section in the past fifteen years... maybe a hundred? But it is always beautiful, and never more so than right now at the peak of autumn color.
