2020JUL03. 6.15mi / 965’ of elevation. Spent part of the holiday weekend at Jenny Jump State Forest walking around the woods. There’s one view of the Delaware Water Gap and Mounts Tammany and Minsi, which was pretty cool. It’s an angle I hadn’t seen them from before. All along the trail there were huge boulders left on top of the mountain by the receding Wisconsin Glacier, 20,000 years ago, which were pretty cool to see. I went up and over Jenny Jump Mountain and down to Ghost Lake, but I didn’t see any ghosts. I tried to find the Faery Cave but was unsuccessful. I did get to the street with probably the coolest name in the State of NJ — Shades of Death Rd. There was no apparent death on it, though, but there was some shade… of death. And I saw a family of swan. So there’s that.

6.66mi / 1312' of elevation. I went to Norvin Green State Forest for the first time. It's a really great forest to spend the afternoon in. The trails near the beginning and upto Chikahoki Falls were pretty crowded but became very sparce once past it. It was only supposed to be abouta. 4.5 mile hike, but I made a wrong turn and went up a rail I didn't intend, adding 1.2mi more to my overall distance. Most of the trail was pretty easy, but there was one part, climbing up to Carriss Hill's overlook that really kicked my butt. I'd go back and do it all over again, though.

2020AUG01. 8.04mi / 863' of elevation. Hiked along the Black River in Chester, NJ today from Cooper Mill to Kay's Cottage and around several abandoned ruins. This is one of my favorite areas to walk around. The first half of the trail traced along the riverbank, over roots and rocks, with moss and a damp earthy smell all along the way. The second half was more of a path cut through heavy foliage and then through open fields before the loop brought you back to the river. Not too much uphill, but the length might make it a bit more strenuous for some. I'll definitely be going back.
