August 26-28 New Jersey

We are still entertaining ourselves while the car is being repaired. A used engine with half the miles of the one we have now is being installed. It came in on Monday and they may have it in by this afternoon, then they can see if the transmission works, if so we can get the car and be on our way. Sunday we hiked about 3 miles  in the park we are camped at.

We were there. Got a little confused on the trails, but made it out ok. Monday we went to the Jersey shore. Yah, I can sunbathe, John can get his low point of New Jersey.  The GPS took us right through Newark on the way, really bad traffic.

I always knew my husband was a saint! We got to the beach and boo, it was pouring rain, thunder, lightening, cold. John got his low point and we left.

Lovely day on the Jersey shore. You can catch these fish here. Most of them I have never heard of. You can catch 50 eels, or scups, but only one tautog or shark.

John enjoying a day at the beach. Today we hiked 4.4 miles in the park, saw a few things- a dragon fly, asters, a spider web and some white berries. Still waiting to hear about the car.

August 29 update—THE CAR IS READY, John is picking it us, I don’t know details yet, but it is good news to get it back and running. We are off to Lake Champlain for the long weekend.
