We're almost halfway in our quest to walk the whole D&L. I don't know how many miles we've gone, but we've done our seventeenth section of the trail. This section had a lot of distractions.
The Slatington Trailhead is huge. Three different trails use that lot. There is a large bathroom, and even a hot dog truck. We took the D&L south toward Cove Rd. It was pretty busy today with bikers. Most not wearing a mask.
The first thing we saw was this old RR bridge. We found eight pillars all together, including three in the river.
Further down the trail the ghost bikes have multiplied. I think there is now four.
There was a phone booth like the one on the IRT. The sign next to it said it was restored in 2016. Vandals have ripped off the door (and ruined the cement) and the paint is peeling off.
We also found this wrecked car in the woods. There was also an old tractor. How did they get there?
An unexpected treat was finding a Little Free "Trail" Library on the trail. Had I known I would have brought a book. I did carry a book of short stories about two miles.
It was cooler today in the shade. The humidity, however, is starting to build.
Miles/Steps: 5.5 miles
Weather: about 80, lower humidity, overcast sometimes. Sunny other times.
Restrooms: OPEN and clean. I-4.5. There was a sign up that said use bathrooms at your own risk.
PPE Found: 1 mask; 1 mask on my walk with Pat this morning.
SLF: None
My swag from the 30/30 February challenge came on Wednesday. The socks maybe ugly but they fit!
