Saturday was brutally hot. The park rangers organized a free kayaking trip down the Delaware River, but it was filled up by 8:30 AM. Ken was the only one who went on this trip because he had his own kayak.
Alicia, Kevin and Amy hiked up to Sunfish Pond via the Douglas Trail and the Appalachian Trail during the daytime. The rest of us drove to the Mohican Outdoor Center and swam in Catfish Pond. I gorged out on wild blueberries.
I returned to Group Site C around 6:30 PM and convinced Ken to join me in a hike up to Sunfish Pond. We both packed water, food, and our flashlights. By the time we reached Sunfish Pond the sun had set and an orange moon was visible. I was too hungry and devoured all of my food as I watched an evening mist rise from the pond. We hiked back down without incident by flashlight. Once we were back on level ground, Ken’s flashlight stopped working.
Although some people went to bed early, others stayed up till 2 AM around the campfire. The campers on Group Site B were a little noisy, but they quieted down when I politely reminded them that it was after quiet hour.
Sunday was another hot day. After packing up, most of us drove to the Mohican Outdoor Center to swim in Catfish Pond.
