Hike #136
6/6/4
Former LHR railroad at Pequest
I felt that I had a serious lack of hiking lately; I had just begun working at Taylor Rental
in Washington and was working a minimum of 50 hours a week, sometimes 60, and I was
still working in the 1 Hour Photo Center at Wal Mart on some nights.
On this occasion, I had to work a Sunday morning at Taylor Rental setting up a tent at
M&M Mars corperation in Hackettstown. Cathy was fortunitely willing to do a walk with
me after I was done with work. I talked to my mom, and she agreed to pick us up later in
the day.

We walked from our house into Washington, following motorcycle paths along the
DL&W right of way, then continueing into Oxford. We climbed up, then walked the
highway over the tunnel, then stopped for drinks in Oxford. We continued to Lower
Denmark Road, and out to Pequest where we got on the former L&HR Railroad
following it out to near Bridgeville, then walked the highway a bit for my mom to pick us
up. We took it easy on this one, walking off the path to the old farm site, and across the
bridge at Buttsville. I was just happy to get out and have the opportunity to walk a bit.
PICS! Here's a link to where you'll find all of them followed by descriptions.
