From rock lookout took pic of Poconos. They are not mtn. ranges but a plateau with rugged rolling country on top. note round knob. Shortly after the trail leaves the incessant rock country and improves greatly Saw grouse and her brood The chicks are now big enough to fly a little. The rascals resembled a covey of quail taking off but they first managed to reach the tree tops. The mother put on the usual sho to draw me away. Met a young fellow just after crossing Gap and we talked awhile. Went [[end page]] [[start page]] on and reached fire tower at Delaware water Gap before sunset. Got a kettle of water at spring and continued on to rock point above gap and spent the night there. Sunset over the Poconos was too smoky and sunrise over Jersey likewise. Went down trail in morn till came to stream where I cooked breakfast and shaved. Started on down and met old gentleman at lookout pavilion. We conversed for some time and he seemed to have traveled extensively and was familiar with most places in North America.
