"I could never resist the call of the trail" - Buffalo Bill
It is so exciting being able to explore new areas, and find new running routes. This is a towpath along the Delaware and Raritan Canal, which is now a recreational and wildlife area running through the center of New Jersey. The Canal was originally built in the 1830's for barges to move coal from Pennsylvania to New York City. Mules and horses provided the propulsion, walking along the towpath, pulling the barges. The canal still continues to provide drinking water for most of central NJ
(info from towpathguy.blogspot.com). It is awesome to explore these routes, and imagine the history of them. Our adventure even included the mandatory wildlife - the first time a snake has crossed our path since SA!
