Day Two

It rained all night. But that's not a bad thing. It cooled the night off and it forced us all into our tents for some much needed rest. Hopefully it will add some more water to the river and help it to flow faster. We had a BBQ for dinner and Ruth Jones, the owner of Kittatinny Canoes came to our camp for stories about the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and her long life of 70 plus years on the river. The rain held just long enough for us to clean up dinner and make a mad dash into our tents that were thankfully already set up. The girls stayed up late into the night chatting as the river slid lazily by and the rain tapped on the tops of our tents. 7:45 am. Time to wake the girls for breakfast, packing and prep for today's trip. We have to pack everything for tonight's camp. We won't have the luxury of having a van with gear and food waiting for us at camp tonight. Its off to breakfast now.
