Despite getting a late start (thanks to that dumpy Paterson minibus that broke down in the tunnel clogging up traffic) I managed to have plenty of time to show you this beautiful park and it's northern portion in detail.
The walk starts off in the park entrance by Route 37 and then heads north through areas of nothing but Great Shapes, and then past several lakes. After checking out the larger lake and a beautiful scene by the Toms River, which runs through the park, I cross over to the other side of this vista. The Pitch Pines here are incredible, and I am blown away by a HUGE monster of a Pine that was probably one of the largest I've ever seen.
Then I cross over Oak Ridge Parkway to the north side of the park, which is much more off the beaten path. The trail goes through some swampy areas and then along the Toms River, which seperates us from the former Ciba-Geigy property on the other side. Then onto a trail with more spectacular scenery, where lots of Witch's brooms can be seen.
The sand trail eventually comes to a gate where there's a campground, which could be BSA land or the Albocondo Campgrounds. More amazing shapes all over the place and a beautiful lake. I end the video near the entrance off Rt.571.
@CirSam Yeah, but you have to understand I've been single for awhile...lol

Thanks again for the great vid but could you please refrain from the sex talk in the middle of our Piney Power Show. These vids are supposed to be all about those great shapes..
