Wednesday (day 4): Onto New Jersey

     Actually got an early start today from PA and rolled towards Philadelphia. It was surprisingly rural most of the way in. I say that not in Wyoming terms, but more like English country side. There were lots of houses and farms we passed, but not the constant stream of suburbs that I expected. I ended up skirting the edge of Philly and got there right at rush hour. The other direction-lane was a parking lot, mine was free-flowing. Dumb luck I guess.
     Princeton was great. I met Mike for a late, sweaty morning run around their cross country course, then we met the GAC gang for lunch. Walked around campus a bit, saw their geology building, caught up on internet, and then hit a second run in the evening on the "Tow" path. Also a former canal-turned running path. This thing was awesome. Endless miles of flat, gravel along a river.
    Mike took me to a sweet brew pub for dinner. Burgers and beers were fantastic. Other than that, this was a chill day. Glad to catch up with good friends!
Day High: Got to meet up with a bunch of former gusties. Henderson aside, we also met Brooke, Kim, and Tilman for lunch in downtown Princeton. It was great time.
Day Low: It is fricking hot out there. The run was miserable, walking around campus was miserable.
