We had a moderate sized group this year: Norm Jarosik, a researcher in the physics department, Chris Tully, on the faculty, Mike Niemack and Glen Nixon, graduate students, and me, Ed Groth.

It was a bit chilly and sometimes windy, but otherwise a nice day.

	Chris and Glen at Bulls Island.		We walked across the foot bridge towards Lumberville, Pennsylvania from Bulls Island. Here's Pennsylvania with a New Jersey tree in the foreground.
	Here's the Delaware Canal on the Pennsylvania side of the river with what's left of its washed out towpath.		The view back towards New Jersey.

	Glen on the path.		Coffee break in Frenchtown! Norm, Chris, and Mike.
	Close to the coffee shop is a bike shop. As it turns out, Glen was having problems with his bike. They started soon after he joined us in Lambertville. After some diagnosis, we concluded his bottom bracket was going. The bottom bracket is the axle to which the pedal cranks are attached. He decided to head back to his car while he could still pedal. But a few miles later, he was with us again. He said it seemed to have gotten better, so he was going to keep on going. When we got to Frenchtown, he took it to the bike shop.		Glen in the bike shop. The mechanic took the bottom bracket apart to discover that only a few pieces remained of one of the bearings. He didn't have a replacement bearing but was able to clean and lubricate the axle and Glen was able to get all the way back to Lambertville with no further bike problems.

	We had lunch on the patio of the Lambertville Station. Here are Glen, Chris, Norm, and Mike. Behind Mike is his wife Maran who joined us for lunch.		Chris, Norm, Maran, Mike, and Glen at lunch. After lunch, we lost Glen since his car was parked in Lambertville. The rest of us still had seven miles to go back to Washington Crossing.
