Monument marking the highest point in New Jersey--in High Point State Park.

My hiking partner, Newton, and I decided to get a good meal in Unionville, a town that has a small park right in the center, where hikers are welcome to tent for the night. One just has to register at the General Store and the camping is free. The store, of course, sells sandwiches and supplies, so we stopped there for lunch and some cold drinks.

Later in the evening we just walked across the street from the park to a pizza/Italian food restaurant for dinner.

Alas, the park does not offer showers, so it was a hot, damp evening in the tent that night.
