The Alternate Plan

  Up until Friday, the plan was to do a hike at Island Beach State Park in New Jersey.  However, because of commitments with the children and some home projects, we decided to keep it near home and do a hike at Tyler State Park.  This allowed them to take care of business at home, and also to bring their wives and kids along.  We all ended up doing a fairly short late afternoon walk through Tyler.   I was looking forward to going to the shore, but this worked just as well for me, too.  I was up for a few hours in the middle of the night, and this allowed me to go back to sleep at 6 and get up at 9.  

  It was a little cold, but still a nice November day to go outside.   Most of the leaves have now fallen from the trees, and what still remains on the branches has now turned brown and will soon be gone as well.   Up until about two weeks ago, there were still a lot leaves on the trees, and still a lot of orange, yellow, and red.  But now late autumn has set in, and winter will soon arrive.
