Paul had to leave<br \/>early for work, but he was kind enough to leave me the keys to his car<br \/>so this morning I made a trip to the book store and spent an enjoyable<br \/>hour+ browsing the book racks and selecting a couple of books for my<br \/>future reading. One will go in my pack and one will go in my bounce<br \/>box for later. After the book store I headed to the local outfitter<br \/>store and finally managed to get some Aquamira, so I am now fixed up<br \/>in that department.<\/p>\n<p>Not much more to write about today. I spent the afternoon reading and<br \/>futzing about with my gear. I have to repack my bounce box now and get<br \/>it ready for mailing. Paul graciously offered to mail it for me, which<br \/>removes a big hassle from my day tomorrow. Because he works early Paul<br \/>will be dropping me off back on the New Jersey end of the DWG bridge<br \/>early tomorrow morning, so I plan to take advantage of the early start<br \/>and try to get in a 24 mile day. From what I hear, that will get me<br \/>past the remaining bad stretch of rocks. There is a 70% chance of rain<br \/>tomorrow, but hopefully it won&#39;t be one of those steady, all day<br \/>rains.<\/p>\n<p>I am getting excited now about closing in on New England. That will<br \/>feel like coming home, I think. I just have to make sure I don&#39;t get<br \/>so wrapped up in where I will be that I forget to appreciate where I<br \/>am at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; <br \/>~~~~~<br \/>Allen F.
