More Wandering

After my hike at Huber Woods I headed to Atlantic Highlands, the town I grew up in, to pick up some library books being held for my dad. Along the way I visited the Mount Mitchell Scenic Overlook.

The dark peninsula is Sandy Hook unit of Gateway National Recreation Area, and that's New York City in the distance.

Mt. Mitchell is the highest point on the coast from Maine to the Yucatan in Mexico. But at 266' above sea level it's not much of "mount" in my opinion (and as it is my blog that's the only opinion which matters).

It is also the site of Monmouth County's 9/11 Memorial, remembering those Monmouth County residents who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks.
