Bernie Crosses the Delaware (Line)

Within the hour, Bernie crossed his eleventh and LAST state line of the American Discovery Trail - into Delaware! The Maryland/Delaware border is one of a few states on the ADT that doesn't greet you with a "Welcome!" sign.

Just a quick update for the Hiking America community.

Bernie Krausse just passed along two photos, and I wanted to share them with you quickly.

Within the hour, Bernie crossed his eleventh and LAST state line of the American Discovery Trail - into Delaware! The Maryland/Delaware border is one of a few states on the ADT that doesn't greet you with a "Welcome!" sign.  

Instead, it is identified by the road surface change — in this case, going from a dirt road to asphalt.

Only 44.18 miles to go to become the first Eastbound American Discovery Trail through-hiker of the year!

Congratulations, Bernie! We can't wait to hear about your trip and see the rest of your photos in your next Facebook post tonight.

Hike Your Hike. John.
