It was too icy and slippery (thin ice with water underneath! :( ) to go up inside the Pine Swamp Mine on Sunday, but some history and some great photos of the mine can be found here:

Early Fall Color – Ramapo Reservation, NJ

It's late September and the leaves are just starting to change here in north New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley in New York State. Fall officially began on Monday, September 22, 2008, at 11:44:16 EDT (15:44:16 UCT) and in a matter of weeks going forward, the foliage in our part of the country will peak to its show of brilliant Autumn colors everywhere, before the Winter fallow period begins shortly afterward. A little like people on Saturday night! ;)
Notice how the bright Fall colors are still mixed with the remaining lush Summer greenery. Interesting time of year, no?
This post also serves to highlight the fact that while Harriman Hikers most frequently hikes its namesake, Harriman State Park, NY, we also hike in other wilderness parks and reserves / preserves in the area, such as Ramapo Reservation, a Bergen County Park, located a short distance from our weekly meetup at Ramapo College of New Jersey in Mahwah, NJ.
