The weather for a hike in the Delaware State Forest near Promised Land, Pennsylvania was perfect — not too hot and not too cold. Promised Land State Park is in the Pocono Plateau, 1,800 feet above sea level and is about is 3,000 acres in size, surrounded by more than 12,000 acres of state forests. The forests are mostly beech, oak, maple and hemlock trees and include two lakes and several small streams. Our trail map was eight years old but thanks to the Garmin Colorado 400t GPS and well market trails, my wife and I were able to have a successful hike of about five miles. We found Promised Land Cache II exactly as described at geocaching.com. A few pictures from the hike are here.
I am so thankful to have the new oxinium knee and that it allows for hiking after less than six months. Last summer it was hobbling around and a half-mile hike resulted in a lot of pain. It seems like everyone knows someone who has had a total knee replacement or is considering one. Much praise and credit is due to Dr. Sanjay Gupta and the teams at Danbury Hospital and Bethel Health Care Rehabilitation Center but I also believe the preparation and approach to rehabilitation make a huge difference as well. The factors that made the biggest difference for me are here.
