"I set out to prove (to myself) that the highpoints of New Jersey and Delaware can be reached without a car. I took the Main/Bergen County Line on NJ Transit up to Port Jervis, NY, checked into the Erie Hotel, dropped off a few things, and hit the road just before 12:30pm.

The first mile and half was an easy trek through town and over the Neversink River on sidewalks, but the sidewalks disappeared just before the intersection of E Main St and Clove Rd, leaving me to sprint to a traffic island and then sprint over a guardrail to reach some grass to the east of Clove Rd. The next tricky traffic-dodging move involved sprinting across the ramps onto/off Interstate 84. I made a left onto the Greenville Turnpike and had a reprieve from the constant traffic. Although this road doesn't have sidewalks or much space to avoid cars, it is primarily residential and the few cars that did pass had no problem avoiding me.

"Please don’t follow this trip report route. I almost got a ticket for parking on the Bear Swamp Road Access. This is off limits. I had bad info. The Boyscout camp and the police were nice and basically gracious said no problem just spread the word it’s off limits. Other than that it was hot, but awesome day in the woods! 😊" — climbmtnsdmg • Aug 2, 2024
