Happy New Year!
...Bubbling Spring Multicache was Zhanna's first geocache of the new year! We started off the year right with a beautifully warm and sunny New Year's Day. |
 |
I like ice ...
 | ...While participating in "Life Hike 2005" at Glen Onoko Falls, Zhanna explores one of the many beautiful ice formations along the way. |
A hike to the dams ...
...Zhanna visits one of Rich's old "swimmin' holes" on a Wintry morning hike in the mountains east of Jessup. It's just a bit too cold for swimming this time of year! |
 |
Hangin' in Jessup ...
...Zhanna hikes to Hanging Around. There's nothing like a walk through a foot of snow to warm you up in the Winter! The River Trail is perfect for outdoor activities during any season. |
 |
Exploring the Gravity Railroad ...
...On the last day of Winter, Zhanna, Aaron and Rich hike in the Moosic Mountains and explore what remains of the old gravity railroad.Zhanna stands near the tunnel entrance and makes a quick note in the logbook for The Gravity geocache. |
 |
Signs of Spring ...
 | ...Zhanna takes in A View of the Park atop the hill at McDade Park. There's also a nice view across the valley from here. Some snow remains on the slopes of Montage Mountain, but it won't last much longer. |
...Zhanna spends a beautiful morning near Painter Creek, exploring and finding the Painter Creek Cache and USGS benchmark TT 1 H along the way. |
 |
...While exploring near Painter Creek, Zhanna and Rich find a lovely picnic spot right alongside these small waterfalls. |
 |
...On a very chilly mid-May Sunday, Zhanna and Rich set out to find a "Boar Hole" and to explore this old railroad bed near Clifton. |
 |
Bird on a wire ...
 | ...Like a little bird, Zhanna easily crosses Nescopeck Creek on this cable bridge on her way to EHCAC RORRIM EHT... unknowingly reminding Rich of the song "Rockin' Robin", which is then stuck in his head for four days. |
A great adventure begins ...
...It's Summer vacation time! Zhanna begins her adventures in Acadia with a hike to Great Head. Of course, she couldn't resist looking for the tri-station PE1783. What a gorgeous spot! |
 |
 | ...Zhanna freezes her butt off in 49°F water on Acadia's Sand Beach. Yes, it was that cold! |
Heat wave ...
...Zhanna and Rich get a close-up view of some enormous windmills before taking a nice easy ride across the ridge from Salem Mountain to Archbald Mountain. |
 |
 | ...Zhanna gets close to the edge (and a little too close to poison ivy) while looking for BURNETT in the NJ Palisades. |
Dry season ...
...It's a cool, sunny late-Summer morning in Salt Springs State Park! Zhanna takes a moment to rest on Penny Rock before she and Rich continue on to replace the Penny Rock geocache. |
 |
Monsoon season ...
 | ...Zhanna has a laughing fit near Buttermilk/Bear Creek Falls, on her way home from "See Sandy Run". |
...White birch trees make a nice contrast to the Fall colors along the Verkeerderkill Falls trail at Sam's Point Preserve. |
 |
The evening of the year ...
 | ...Zhanna plays around on Split Rock while visiting Bull Hill in the Hudson Highlands. |
Good-bye to a good friend ...
 | ...Farewell, little buddy.I miss Ian so much. |
