Allen, your last set of pictures (which starts at the Delaware Water Gap) has some scenery which is familiar to me. One of the areas you show is near NY Rt 22. I really like that area.

Someone recently told me that the Appalacian trail is now extended into Quebec. Is this true? Might you be tempted to hike that far?

Hey Tom, google "International Appalachian Trail". I don't know much about it, but I think it goes all the way to the Gaspe Peninsula.
