D90, M1297 - Wedding Crasher

Destination: Delaware Water Gap
Date: Sat, 11 Jun

I couldn't get the bride to come out early, but the groom let me capture a pic of their gorgeous, panoramic overview.  You can see the AT passes just behind the alter. Too bad they didn't have any food out yet 😢

Jim and Brian both computer engineers fm NJ are "normal" hikers off the best kind ... they have NO plan.

Nice view fm top of Wolf's Rocks... but hard traverse!

Rich carried my pack down fm Wolf's Rocks. He, Tricia, Ross and dog Copper are fm nearby Harleysville PA 

After hiking to Wolf's Rock, Steve and daughter Shannon fm Easton PA offered to donate my extra fuel to Boy Scouts 

Looking across to Mt Minsi in NJ w/ Trail Angels Asaf fm Boston (a software engineer and competitor of Oracle) and his Dad, King David visiting from Israel. David shared his homemade fruitcup...

... and these unique lychee fm S. China

Arrived at DWG Presbyterian Church, a free hostel were I'll take a Zero to rest my ITB

I even made everyone waffles this morning. ... using eggs from their chickens!
