| One of many lookout points at Pyramid Mountain park |
So... I've had a lot on my mind lately. Seems like I always have things on my mind - but this morning, my mind was just starting to get a little too overloaded. (And overwhelmed). Luckily, I had the day off work today (thank you compressed flex-time schedule!) so Kyle and I went for a three hour hike at
Pyramid Mountain park in Morris County, N.J.
We had been to this park a couple of times in the summer/early fall, but it looked completely different today with all the bare trees and dead leaves everywhere. The weather was unusually warm considering it's late November - it was in the sixties and sunny! Perfect hiking weather.

| Whale Head Rock |
A few high points along our route were several large boulders, (one was named "Whale Head" boulder because of the obvious resemblance to a whale's head. After reading this on our map, I couldn't help but play The Whale Song by Modest Mouse in my head. We also came to an overlook along the top of one of the ridges (after a pretty steep and rocky climb on the red trail.) After eating our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and apples at the top of the ridge, we finished the hike by taking the orange trail along the river. Along the way, we saw a couple swans fishing for food.
Of course our dog, Bruno, was going crazy when he saw the sun reflecting off the water. He has an odd obsession with reflections and beams of light. It was an awesome view though walking by the water. Enough to put my mind at ease and just enjoy life for what it is.
