p'burg and lopat

Today we did two, 2-mile loops in P'burg and Lopat. We started and ended at Beth's house.

Since Sharon came along, we did the easier loop first, fairly level and essentially a big square.

Then we (Beth, Bonnie and me) left Sharon at the house and headed for the high school, and walked thru the arboretum. According to the High Schools website, "the arboretum once contained as many as 300 different species of trees and was nationally acknowledged as the first high school arboretum in the country". Not anymore. It's a bit neglected. Okay, maybe a bit more than a bit. Lots of the trees have been removed, only the little plaques remain. But it's pretty anyway. When you exit on the other side, you get to the PHS trailer park. There must be 35. They really need a bigger high school.


By the time we reached the cemetery the winds had picked up and the sky was getting grey. For a bit we were worried that we wouldn't get back before the storm hit. But all was well. In my town, the storm still hasn't hit. 


I've asked Beth if she knows were these stairs are. I found them on webshots. They were taken by JudyP15.It's says P'burg, NJ on the caption. I wanna climb them!
