(Sun. 6/10/12) High Point State Park, NY (Phone Update)

Brett called fairly late (for him) from High Point State Park. The park is actually located in New York, but the trail is not quite done with New Jersey. He should cross the official NJ/NY border soon and spend about a week hiking New York. This was, sadly, a very short phone update. I think Brett was started to fall asleep on the phone. He's working hard!

(Fri. 6/8/12) - Sunfish Pond, NJ (Phone Update)

Brett called me while stopping for lunch on the trail. He found the perfect place to stop and enjoy the view at Sunfish Pond in NJ. I was told it was the southern-most glacier-formed lake (in the U.S.? on the trail?). Brett said it was an absolutely beautiful alpine lake. He found a nice boulder to sit on. What started out as a lunch stop turned into an hour-long (at least) break of enjoying the scenery.

A few other other hikers stopped by while Brett was on the phone, and I was able to say hello to Hawkeye and one other (I can't remember now who it was). It sounds like Brett has met a few nice guys who have continued to pass each other (leap-frog) and keep up with one another since they started in February.
