AT Thru Hike Day 139 - Welcome to Harriman State Park and the Lemon Squeezer!

[@backpackbible5766]

I was told by a wonderful lady that when you don't see flowers and there is an amazing smell it the scent of the angels. They are watching over you!

[@Zapruderfilm1963]

Jay went through the “ Honey Bun Squeezer “” 😁

[@celestesuter1148]

Good one! 😂

[@stevenvarner9806]

Or Honey Bun Squisher.

The bird song you’re hearing is Wood Thrush (not Wood Wren). 😊 People have trouble imitating birdsong because we have a single larynx (“voice box”). Birds have a syrinx which has two separate structures that produce sounds - so they can sing multiple notes at once and get many different effects than we can.

This has becomie one of the highlights of my day. Jay takes me to the trail. Thank you! It helps me keep my sanity while being tied to my desk.

[@edwardmcgrath1388]

In 1973 the William Brian Memorial shelter was located on the shores of Island Pond. It was one of the best shelters in the park. It was moved and the trail rerouted around the pond due to overuse.

When the blueberries ripen, the bears gorge themselves…I love to pick them in Pa by the lake…right now mulberries are plentiful around here- in the park there too, Im sure. Enjoy the area! It’s gorgeous and full of wildlife! 🥾🥾😎

[@michaelgarro4316]

Jay, Welcome to NY and to Harriman State Park. Great park for day hikes. I just did the section with Lemon Squeezer and saw a large black bear about a mile East of that area. Enjoy

[@shirleybaker8709]

Congrats on making it through the Lemon Squeeze, with you and your gear unharmed! You & Tina are doing great! Your miles are really adding up! Continue to stay safe & healthy! Looking forward to your reunion with Tina!!🙂🙏🏾

[@LoveofNature.2025]

Green frogs have the ridge that goes from eye to back. Bull frogs do not have this feature. Nice hike today thank you.

[@suehancock5573]

Good to see you back on trail again Jay! You look rested and I hope Tinas ankle is a lot better! Goodnight. 🌙

[@susietopspin]

Great video. I hate to admit but I took the easy route around. Just could no take Get up after lemon squeezer. I’m just waiting for you to yell “hey bear” 🤣. Happy trails 🤘🏻🥾🏕

[@wingmanhoy3999]

Awesome beautiful hiking, and scenery, all the very best.

[@jonathanwtea]

Thanks for the insight! I’m about to do the lemon squeezer sobo in August. I won’t go down where the tree is! Hiking Bear Mtn. to Delaware Water Gap. Loved your NJ vlogs. So much great insight and beautiful photography. Thanks Jay!

[@josephrogers1864]

LOL..Jay you REALLY WANT TO SEE A BARE !! 😂

[@nancygoodwin3532]

There is a heat wave here in South Carolina too. Several days 99-100 degrees.

[@dannythecamper4186]

Nice video with some good views, so let's keep on hiking..

[@garygarrett769]

Congrats on 18k subs! Glad you and Tina are doing well. Stay safe.

[@TeaParty45]

Great video,as always! I wish your foot would heal up and give you a break.Maybe there is a podiatrist in Kent that could check it out? But as long as it isn’t getting worse, maybe it won’t? Other than permethrin, what defensive measures do you take when walking through grass? Good luck to you both. SEMPER FI

[@beckyleheny8636]

Great video as always! Be careful what you wish for (Bears)! Excited for you that your about to close the gap! Oh, I 2nd the honeysuckle...

[@misscandy84]

[@Kai77-24]

😍 Rock climbs! Fun video. Great guide. Thx.

[@Kai77-24]

Great bear scratches on that tree behind you! Hope abounds. Could one create a shelter, platform out of branches or something over rocks?

[@Mitoosuns]

Congratulations on making thru the Lemon 🍋 squeeze 👏👏

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

Wow tight squeeze through the rocks. Happy 👣 trails 🌻

[@99jkane]

Happy to see the two Disney volcanoes reunited again. Can Tina sing the song?

[@Teddy-fx6fx]

[@glo_glo488]

Glad you and Tina were able to get some r&r!.. that was a tight squeeze indeed! Be safe until next time ✌🏼🥾⛺️

[@vickymaynard4963]

Jay, Just a quick note to tell you to take a look at Heard Hiker's latest vlog, episode 117. Thought you'd love it, don't want to give anything away until your see it

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Nice trail magic!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Bacon, bacon, bacon! .... yum! I like seeing what you eat on trail. That’s a good thing.

[@misscandy84]

The lemon squeeze in Maine harder

[@ekimpp]

It was great meeting you both! Tina is so adorable and down to earth. Oh by the way that bear sighting doesn't count. You were not on the trail. Sorry Jay.

[@campchairchris]

Did you find the well? Any water?Lots of people can't seem to find it.

[@MP-TheNewGuy]

I remember that shelter. It was like staying in a cave.

[@umreeh]

Yay, no cockroaches for JaynA

[@eddyarundale1566]

👋

[@davesbackpackingadventures1062]

19:10 Is that a bear scrape on the tree over your shoulder? lol

[@misscandy84]

No

[@ruthconner4923]

So Jayden gap was predetermined place for Tina to catch up? Enjoyed today's venture... Gn...Jay

[@davesbackpackingadventures1062]

The Jayna (Jay & Tina's names merged together like people do with movie star couples) Gap is the measure of distance between the two of them.

[@ruthconner4923]

Ty

[@JayWandersOut]

Not predetermined, just whenever it happens.

[@ruthconner4923]

@@JayWandersOut I wasn't aware ya'll had named your catch up point, another viewer shared Jay na with me. Cool...excited for both of you...how is Tina's ankle?

[@marriedtothetrail2811]

Hey, did you find out what that peachy smell was? Enjoy it all, love the videos

[@kochrobert7473]

👍👍👌👌😊😊

[@EvieVermont]

In talking

[@carmenhernandez6102]

That tree behind you looks like it has bear scratches

[@misscandy84]

I'm so confused is she hiking to at but not with yu ? Bc I never see her in your videos

[@krisg3984]

Jayne Gap coming up ? 👍

[@anofre68]

Love watching your videos but be careful what you wish for. Bears🐻are cool when far away and leaving you alone. 🙂 otherwise you may be a chew toy.

[@ANJamesPhD]

Your "peachy" smell, the only thing that it might be is black locust (very sweet smelling) - did you notice white flowers way up in the trees? If not, have no clue.

[@SupermanJimbo]

I was thinking honeysuckle.

[@beckyleheny8636]

@@SupermanJimbo yep, me too! You can smell it from afar!

[@ANJamesPhD]

@@SupermanJimbo I did think about honeysuckle, but when Jay showed the area, it didn't look like there were any shrubby areas where it might be. Still, a real possibility.

[@bradorndorff7408]

I thought l told you to get a real hat. 🤠

[@misscandy84]

I banned my husband from eating mountain house meals horriable nasty gas he gets lol
