"Continuing with my journey to prove (to myself) that it's possible to reach the highpoints of New Jersey and Delaware without a car, I took an early train from Port Jervis down to Secaucus Junction, then a short connection to Newark Penn where I took the Northeast Regional Amtrak to Wilmington, DE. From there, a DART First State bus took me up to the intersection of Foulk Rd and Naamans Rd which is where I began my "hike" around 1:30pm. Although the humidity was not too bad, the temperatures reached the mid-90s with a blazing sun which encouraged me to seek shade wherever possible. Walking north on Foulk Rd, the sidewalk ends immediately after a plaza that used to contain a Safeway grocery store. Luckily, the shoulder is massive on this road and I only had to use extra caution by intersections. The state line with Pennsylvania is obvious - not just because there is a sign but also because the road narrows and the shoulders nearly disappear. Luckily I only had to walk on the road for about 750 feet before turning onto Zebley Rd which was far less busy and I was able to easily avoid cars.

"As part of a 16 or 17 state highpoint blitz of the Northeast this August while working remotely 8 hrs a day from various Starbucks.
After finishing up work at 6pm EST, I drove onward to Delaware to find a steamy, warm evening and the highpoint hidden behind a bush...do they believe in city street lights in Delaware??? More dark sky than New Mexico! I for sure illegally parked but it was a brisk half block to the high point. Then onward to a toll interstate rest stop for a power sleep before heading further east to NJ High Point." — alexjoseph • Aug 8, 2019
