New York - Mile 1,357 July 5 - 10th

We made it into my home state of NY on July 5th. The highlight in NY was meeting family members in Cornwall and walking across Bear Mtn Bridge. Lots of good meals and support in this section!

The sign marking the NJ - NY border

The Lemon Squeezer - a very narrow crevice that hikers have to crawl through. I had to take my pack off to fit through.

 Thai food with Scott and Carole in Cornwall, NY

Good luck Bravo - the trail will always be there.

 A large group meanders through the trailside museum - Carole, Nana, Chris, Thomas, mom&dad walk this section of the AT with us.

The bears den at the trailside museum - the lowest point on the AT. (Note - dad has now been at the highest and lowest point on the AT!)
