Conquering the Appalachian Trail, New Jersey Section, Mile 1343 to 1354, Pochuck Mountain Shelter.

Day 5 of our Appalachian Trail, New Jersey Section Hike, miles 1343 to 1354 from County Road 5519 to Pochuck Mountain Shelter, including lunch in Unionville, NY, the Wallkill River, and the Wallkill National Wildlife Refuge. Our next to last day in this section was full of rain and beauty. Many thanks to the Appalachian Trail Section Hikers on Facebook and to George Lightcap, an great shuttle driver for this area. Backpacking an entire state section of the Appalachian Trail has been a dream of ours for years. And we got close, backpacking from the Delaware River Gap to New Jersey State Highway 94 and Heavenly Hills Farms, completing 63.5 AT Miles (plus 4-5 miles of side trails). We will have to hike the last 9 miles of New Jersey when we do the New York section. The most surprising thing to us was the quality of the shelters and the privies, which made the hike much more enjoyable than we had imagined. We carried a tent the entire way, but because of the season we had each of the shelters we needed to ourselves, including Brinks, Mashipacong, and Pochuck Mountain shelters. This is an amazing section of the AT and we encourage you to hike it some day! Are you over 60 years old? Do you enjoy the great outdoors and want to try backpacking? Wondering if you can? Please be assured you can! If we can do it (mid 60s and overweight) you can do it! Recent statistics and thorough studies have proven that longevity is directly co-related to how much you move or stated more succinctly “use it or lose it.” See the article on this topic in the recent issue of Outside Magazine.
