STROUDSBURG -- It was another sweltering day around northeastern and central Pennsylvania on Friday, and the steamy conditions will be hanging around this weekend.

The heat is on but so is the hike along the Appalachian Trail in Delaware Water Gap.

Henry Chen says when you're in your 70s you've got to keep moving, even if the air feels heavy with humidity

"That is the way, you sweat it out, you just walk," said Chen.

Some folks beat the heat with a cool treat on Main Street in Stroudsburg.

"Very good. Very, very good, I was dying to come in and get this this morning, good! "said Donna Lawless, sipping a cold drink.

And at Dunkleburgers Sports Outfitters, the manager tells us the warm weather has made this one of the most profitable summers in recent memory and showed us some of this season's hot sellers for keeping cool.

"The weather is so hot, they are out they are in their pool, they go down the river, and whatever, so it has been a really good hot summer year for those kind of things," said manager Tink Lim.

Henry Chen says he doesn't need anything fancy to keep his cool on the trail.

"Enjoy life! Life is short, play hard!"
