Have just crossed into New York state and am camping just across the border having finished with New Jersey today. Had an amazing night last night in Unionville where I, along with about 20 other hikers, stayed with at the house of the former mayor Dick Ludwick. He fed us dinner and breakfast and let us have beers at 25 cents a piece. His hospitality was incredible and as well as feeding us and letting us take showers and do laundry, he also tried to provide us with some motivational material for the rest of our hike. Oddly this came in the form of watching a video of opera singer Paul Potts' winning performance from Britain's Got Talent. It was strange sitting in a room full of Americans listening to Ant and Dec doing their presenting. Although strange, I think I got what Dick was trying to tell us - a message about ordinary people doing extraordinary things (or something similar). It was an excellent place to stay.
Onwards into New York!
