I've been going to ALOT of parks lately and being on Spring Break it's been nothing but Hiking and Adventuring so far. I always knew there were mountains in the Northern part of my otherwise boring ugly state and I need to start going up there. I was on the shoreline yesterday and of course there were some hills/mountains but nothing that big. This is mostly just beaches and a few views. I usually don't post picture threads of random things but it's nature so I figured you guys would like it. When I finally go to the mountains in the North I'll post even more with MIKEY hopefully in them. This isn't really a place to bring a prissy water hating dog.. but he's showing lots of promise of liking water so we'll see

This is a natural fossil bed..mostly just mullosk fossils but you can sometimes find sharks teeth...I had no such luck but next time! I found a few really old shells. The water was freezing but it was 70 degrees out yesterday and we are crazy..so it works out.

My camera's an underwater camera...so this is my attempt at trying to be artsy..? if that's what you'd call it.

This picture had a point..ya know 'the we are one theme' from lion king. I just thought it was cool..my footprint next to a deers.

This is the view from Mount Mitchell, that's sandy hook (gateway national park) and NYC skyline.

and who would've known cactus grew here in NJ? It's the only cactus in the state on Sandy hook.

Now yes, I am a dork, but the purpose of this picture is to show you just how deep that muck was. That stick was a foot longer before it was stuck in the mud. My friend accidently walked to far out and fell in. I don't even know what to call this thing. It was like the muck pit or the gate to hell or something. There were animals that were dead in it because they got stuck..a dead horseshoe crab. Alot of other crabs...it was really weird.

This is just a peek at the ugly little guys you can find chilling in the tide pools on Sandy hook..I somehow managed to get good shots of them simply sticking my camera in the water and taking a picture. I couldn't see what I was taking a picture of but it worked out well! They were so cooperative to, they didn't retreat into their shells.
Well that's all...hope you enjoyed!
