A visit to Hacklebarney State Park with friends, equal parts sun-washed and shaded. Green will soon give way to orange, yellow and red and (as always) I'm sure it will be spectacular. Chester, NJ. 6 September 2009.
Though I've been visiting this place for years, it's new to me every time I visit. Sometimes it's just nice to be alone in the quiet with the steady rush of the falls that lead to the Black River making the loudest sound around me. Hacklebarney State Park. Chester, NJ. 9 October 2008.
