Traveling does teach you new vocabulary, like the suffix -kill having nothing to do with death and a water gap not being a gap in water. The Delaware River cut a path perpendicular to a mountain range so it is called a water gap. It must offer the path of least resistance to road crews as I-80 goes right through the gap. Part of the Appalachian Trail is on a long I-80 bridge through the gap.

Delaware Water Gap is the name of a small town near this Mt. Minsi trailhead. We had to stop at the Village Farmer and Bakery to get a pie. They didn’t have slices of the pie we wanted, so now we have to eat a whole pie. Challenge accepted!

Our campground has a site for Halloween that we discovered on our evening stroll.
