May 15-16
We headed out early for travel day that started out with tunnel bridges. Doug was very excited for the bridge-tunnel-bridge, bridge-tunnel-bridge-tunnel-bridge we needed to take to get to Delaware. He had the perfect poem, of course!
BRIDGE OR TUNNEL?Channel project. A tunnel would be possible, a bridge would also do,but wouldn't it be better to amalgamate the two? Let bridge and tunnel undulate in waves from shore to shore,keeping green the memories of those who went before.from the Grooks of Piet Hein
And as we drove on toward our campsite, on the other side of the bridges-tunnels-bridges, we were chasing this very odd straight line cloud formation. Very cool!

Doug got in an early morning run, then we said goodbye to Delaware.
We managed our third Wagon Wheel lyrics bingo as we skirted Philadelphia.

I was super excited that we would be camping for a few nights in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey! I’ll admit, that this excitement may have been originally prompted by Stephanie Plum’s adventures in “Plum Spooky” (a “between the numbers” novel by Janet Evanovich), but the pine barrens are an incredibly cool, rare, coastal ecosystem!
After I got a quick hike in and then we headed out for dinner in Atlantic City.

We spent another lovely day, where I was thrilled to hike endlessly on nearly completely level, pine-needled, springy trails. The weather was lovely and cool, and the scenery was gorgeous. The only thing lacking was that we didn’t have any Jersey Devil sightings. ah well.
