The Watchung Mountains are really three ridges, with a 400 foot height maximum, running basically NE to SW in the northern half of NJ. As a teen I hunted and fished on them, and camped overnight, but after the Korean conflict, the area became too populous for just wandering.
Small streams have disappeared, and now there are only four stream/rivers capable of being stocked with trout. Deer are overly abundant, presenting the usual problems. Black bear have limited hunting restrictions, sometimes not allowed at all.
Copperheads were what I worried about, but I understand timber rattlers might be present.
Some of the fauna info could be outdated. I haven't lived in NJ, except temporarily, since 1953.
Amazingly enough, about 80% of NJ was rural 60 years ago, and probably well over 50% today. NJ is the most densely populated state per square mile in the United States, yet it is the only state where every county is classified as urban by federal government standards.
TMI?

Great photo. I'm in Western New York by Lake Erie. Your observation seems correct for us too.

Thanks Debbie - I'm glad you liked it. I think Fall in the entire Northeast was a little underwhelming this year.

Fall in NJ came and went so fast. Seems like we're getting just 2 seasons anymore: Summer and Winter. Looks best in download - hope you enjoy.

A beautiful image.

Here in the Seattle area our autumn color has lasted a long stretch this year, 8 to 10 weeks due to limited storms and rain. We still have many cottonwoods showing a lot of yellow.

Thanks JFCoupe - glad you liked it. We had the opposite kind of Fall this year in the Northeast.
