A Morning Trail on Labor Day

There is mysterious forest across the border between Englewood Cliffs and Englewood where I live. I tried to explore once but failed because no entrances to the forest were found.

Thanks for the clue by my neighbor friend, I was finally able to get into the forest, which is actually called Flat Rock Brook Nature Center. www.flatrockbrook.org. I don't know how many miles I walked, it took me about 2 hours to complete its major trails.


They have a cool outdoor classroom but the students were dismissed today due to Labor Day, perhaps.




As I walked more toward north, I could hear water sound from afar. It was a stream connected to the MacFadden's Pond.


I think I saw a turtle in the pond. I couldn't find him/her but noticed reflection of the forest on the pond. That was a little tranquility.

Flat Rock Brook was founded in 1973. Oh, so we are the same age then... I happened to be here on the day of my birth.
