A day of a few more firsts: I ate my first low-bush blueberries of the season along the barren wasteland north of the very steep climb out of Lehigh Gap, and it was the first day so far where I walked start to finish without a single break. Of course, it did rain all afternoon so it wasn't hard to force myself to keep chugging—in fact, the rain seems to make me most comfortable while hiking. I'm crammed into a motel room tonight for some pizza with Optimus, Amy, and Rock Steady.
