With my limited Delaware Water Gap knowledge, Mt. Minsi is the only few free hiking spots I know. Nadia and I did the hike half way (not reaching the peak of the mount) last year.
This time (Saturday 10/22/2022), we went with church folks, all 6 of us, after my email attempt to invite more. Gene arrived first at noon, we were about 30 mins late and the parking was tough so we parked down the hill road, which Nadia said had a sign of no parking. I beg to differ, but did not confirm after the hike.
We almost did the entire 5 mile loop, but we did further than Nadia and I last year. If it's a lot less than about 2 hour drive (1hr 46 mins), I might have done it myself to explore more in the area. Overall everyone enjoyed it, and perhaps that's the max of general church folks' capability. Not too short, not too long. And it was a perfect weather and time of the foliage season: 70F, peak of foliage. A rare chance to get everyone on a Saturday. I got Gene and Clyde to try my drone. I uploaded the video to Youtube as unlisted. I notice that the videos edited from Shotcut is not as clear/high resolution as I wished. I need to look into this editing stuff.
