Today I took a nice hike in Wharton State Forest. I estimate that I hiked 4 to
6 miles. I really can't be sure. The sky was a beautiful deep blue and there
were no clouds. It was perfect. I think the temperature was 29 or 30 with a
little bit of wind. I was totally in awe of the beauty around me, the whole
time. While hiking the nature trail I stopped to take some pictures, and ended
up shooting 2 min., 48 sec. of video.
As I said, fantastic beauty! I never tire of looking at Pitch Pines. They come
in such incredible great shapes, to quote a friend of mine on Youtube.

And as a reminder, Wharton State Forest is the largest unit in the NJ state
parks and forests system, at 122,000 acres. When we moved to South Jersey in
1985 it was only at about 99,000. It has gained quite a bit.
