King of the World
Last Saturday two friends and I went on an epic hike. Actually the hike itself was not the epic part, it was the getting there from NYC that proved to be difficult. We left Brooklyn at 11:00 AM and drove for what seemed to be hours to get to High Point, the highest elevation in NJ. Carsick and sick of cars we looked with wide eyes as the mountain rose before us. But the second we pulled up to the trail head, the skies opened up , dumping a hell of a lot of rain on our heads. Ever optimistic (and bored of complaining by that point) we jumped back into the car and drove another hour to Bear Mountain. It wasn't raining when we got there so we popped out of the car, laced up our boots and trotted happily into the woods only to encounter...more rain. And lots of it. With brave hearts pumping, we forged ahead. On top of the mountain we found some excellent blueberries which I did not take a picture of. But I found this little guy sitting in a pool at the bottom of a tiny waterfall. If truth be told, I almost stepped on him. If you look closely you can see the terrified expression on his face.

Hey Chiquita! That frog is cute. I have the day off today. Mostly we've been mowing the lawn. But We've also been playing in the creek. It's f*cking HOT today! I dig your blog. I'm glad you're updating it again. I should update mine. Maybe later, I will. :-) KM
