Good morning #parsippany !@! just commuting #jersey style with a double play wednesday from #wdha #105.5 with a morning jolt (not that the potholes in the roads don’t usually supply the jolt) double dose of #bonjovi cranking #badmedicine as good as three cups of coffee.

Perfect example of a #kettle #pothole #punchbowl a depression formed by retreating #glacier The kettles are formed as a result of blocks of ice left behind by retreating glaciers, which become surrounded by sediment deposited by meltwater streams.

Iditarod #jersey style but no dogs. Talking about uphill both ways in the snow, this Klondike Derby sled was built by 7th-8th grade #boyscouts from Troop 242 sponsored by American Legion Post 242. Pulled by six-eight scouts over at Camp #Allamuchy which then was the Morris Sussex Council #BSA. The scouts would pull the sled to the campsite approximately two miles over hill over dale. Recently pulled out of the #joneshardware attic barn before demolition in #pomptonplains #pequannock #newjersey the sled now resides at the Pequannock #history #museum at the 1872 #railroad station. Putting modern dad-built or store-bought #pinewoodderby racers to shame. — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/30GBmsZ

Tripod Rock is a glacial erratic. These rocks were brought here and came to rest after the glacial retreat. As they retreated what we now know as the #pequannock valley was glacial lake #passaic which slowly drained. To this day it continues to drain actually from its remnants in the #greatswamp and even the #meadowlands – This rock is approximately 841’ over sea level and it is impossible to fathom the glaciers advancing this far south and to this height in #nj #newjersey #pyramidmountain #njhiking #hiking the importance of the glaciers to the topography of the state is typically unheralded. The glacial melt discharge left behind the flatter, sandier land of #southjersey giving birth to the #pinebarrens #boonton #montville #morriscounty #northjersey — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2VL8UY7

The rolling hills of #northjersey #njhighlands as #i287 curves to the east of federal hill in #bloomingdale #nj the site of the #pompton mutiny during the #americanrevolution – more notorious history is associated from a 1930s German bund that had an encampment on the hill where pro-Nazi memorabilia was found. I’ve always wanted to hike to the ruins of the bund and to the summit of the hill to see the views of the #pequannock valley from that direction. #nj #hiking – this is the year I will do it. — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2Hox161

Memorial park in #wharton #nj #newjersey this #ww2 memorial is on the other side of the park from the ww1 memorial. I particularly liked the backdrop of the relatively large grand home behind the park. The park has a 37mm antitank gun which are very common surplus weapons seen in many towns. One reason is because the 37mm really was not effective against German armor in WW2. They made a bunch, they were marginally useful and the result is they were readily available as surplus memorial props. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2xLwGF1

Historically, #nj industrial development was rooted in iron. The iron industry declined in the latter half of the 19th century. Still the rivers were able to power mills and diversification brought a major influx of silk mills to the area.

Today many area town museums are open to the public, all on the same day. Visiting the #pequannock township museum in #pomptonplains #nj #newjersey I noted the Beames Dairy sign. Interestingly one can note the ‘Grade A’ scratched out of the sign. Done because he no longer sold Grade A milk. Of course that does make me wonder what Grade ‘B’ milk is. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2pvANRp
