    We've made it to New Jersey and we reached the 1300 miles mark!! Way to go :)
    It took us a while to get moving because we had a quite big breakfast and then I checked out the outfitter in town, which was closed. We met lots of new thru hikers today, amongst them "Dancing bear", another German from the Cologne area and "G.I. Jane" a young woman from Brazil. Most of them passed us on the first uphill but I'm sure we'll see them again.
    The first impression of New Jersey is basically the same as we've had in Pennsylvania, just a bit more elevation. And there were some really nice views all day, the pond in the morning and from the fire watch tower in the afternoon.
    In the evening we were eaten by the mosquitos, so we hurried up with cooking and then spent some time planning when and how to go to NYC.
