Wende, these were the few I took with my Blackberry, I still have to dig the real Pix out of my camera.. 

Gary, the 4th is my favorite too, Sunfish Pond is a Glacial Lake at the top of the ridge in Worthington State Forrest, the photo doesnt do it justice, it is truly a pristine place with great views, and yes, it is in NJ.

Robert - It reminds me of hiking through the Ontario bush in Canada. The scenery is spectacular!

John, we probably missed Peak colors by a week, but it certainly was gorgeous.

Rob ~  Such excellent photos!  I only have one question -- how did you get my "ex" to pose on that log?

Charles, it is a great spot, If you can hike 4 or 5 miles to see it...

Margaret, it is a very pretty spot, worth the difficult hike to see..

Jane Anne, It is a beautiful spot!  A bit chilly for camping this time of year, but worth it!

Brigita, The view of the valley shot is actually looking into PA from the NJ side,  You cant quite see it, but 1700 feet below is the Delaware River

Donne, that was the last push up, the steep part of the trail... My son is up in that group, it was a Scout trip.  The second picture is from the back packer site on the AT, it looks across the Delaware into PA
