“Because
in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or
mowing your lawn. Climb that … mountain.”
~ Jack Kerouac

While
walking on the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail)
at Lehigh Gap on a late May evening, I looked across the Lehigh River and
spotted this man hiking along the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain.
The
Appalachian Trail, a foot path, follows the ridge on both sides of the Lehigh
Gap, running 1,245 miles south to Georgia and 930 miles north to Maine. Running
from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and
Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
