New Jersey Photo Album

I was thinking that might be another pond that's a hike up off the notorious Clinton Road. Clinton Road is off rte 23 up at the end of Green Pond Road, which connects to rte 80. That road is in Weird NJ website as a haunted road. All kinds of stories about it. There's a nice running stream that has a little waterfall with centuries old eroded rocks in it; nice place to take a dip in the hot summer. Across the road from that is a place we used to call "washing machine lake. There's a small bridge that goes under the road and the stream drops off 50-60' into a basin. We went down there once and realized a lot of people had dropped stuff off that bridge into it, including a washing machine Right next to it is a jumping off place that's pretty dangerous. I think they chase people out of there these days. All kinds of legends of ghost cars and evil murderous hillbillys up that way
Another cool place is in Montville off Boonton Road, a little hike and you come to Tripod Rock, a massive boulder that sits on top of three smaller rocks. They think it was placed there by glaciers. You can crawl under it if you dare. You could see the Twin Towers from that hike before 2001.

I wonder if them thar Hillbillies hang out with the Piney's from the Barrens??? Hell, I'd drink with all them.

Sure are a lot of good hikes in this neck of the woods. Use to be some good apple jack stills too

Fred, I added some annotations to the picture so you know the juxtabout location of Sunfish Pond. It's up on the ridge bout four miles North East of the Water Gap. I'd guess I was about 12 -14 miles to the South East when I snapped the pictures. Neat thing about this vista is that the sun sets right in the Water Gap on the summer solstice.

VigIIPeaBurner - really good map and picture view there! I never even heard of wind gap, looks like 33 goes through it.

Yeah Vig, it's one of the prettiest places I've ever been to & trust me, I've been around Thanx for the pix & map

Sometime in the mid to late 1950's I spent a night camping with a Boy Scout troop at Sunfish pond. Don't remember much about it other than being scared to death of sleeping outside. I was younger than a teenager at the time.

Since you are showing nice pictures of New Jersey. I thought you would want something to compare them too. Here is a horrible eye sore that shows up in Hoboken Terminal on a regular basis.
