I did however make it out on Sunday morning despite the intense humidity.

Yes, let us know.
BTW, phlydude, it looks like I passed within a few miles of you in 2009:

Sunday morning I lingered a little when packing my campsite. This was the last time I'd pack up this trip. As I rolled out of the campsite I headed to the pond the park is named for. I'd seen Nature up close for much of this trip, and I was entering the most densely populated part of Delaware. Standing on the boat landing at Lums Pond was a "goodbye", or more accurately "till we meet again." The waves lapped at the edges of my cycling shoes.
Then off to breakfast in the last small town I'd see this trip. I had French toast at Kildare's general store/post office as folks on the their way to and from church stopped in. I didn't know which of us was more uncomfortable in the early morning heat, me in my Lycra or the churchgoers in their suits and dresses.
Traffic was light as I turned right onto a road that took me to Rt. 9.......

Yup, I am a couple miles from Lums Pond. It is my fishing spot (although I don't seem to have much luck there) - when it gets cooler out, that is my next goal - ride to the main entrance (while staying off St Rt 896) and through the park and back. It will take some time and some more riding before I can go further than 5 miles - my legs were killing me around the 3.5 mark yesterday - just tired from working constantly
