<p>I hope all are well in NJ with hurricane Sandy blowing through. It feels so strange to be here in Florida, concerned about our friends up north. All the best.</p>

<p><strong>10/25/2012 - Henry Hudson Trail South (Aberdeen to Marlboro)</strong></p>
<p><strong><br/></strong>I had to be in Aberdeen at 6 am this morning for about 1 1/2 hours so I was going to walk the shore section of the Henry Hudson Trail instead of fighting rush hour traffic heading back north. When I stepped out into daylight at 7:30 am (it was dark when I got there) and saw the peak foliage I immediately changed my mind and headed for the southern part of the Henry Hudson Trail. The shore will always be there, the foliage won't. Leaves were starting to come down in droves so they won't be there much longer.</p>
