    Our newest National Park

    Nation's newest national historic park in NJ

    Ok....let's get THIS over with....

    A national park in NJ? C'mon....

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Ok.....when you've recovered from the laughter...

    It's true, and that's a pretty interesting and significant National Park. It was right there in Patterson that the "...birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution" can be toured. Was there a few years ago and the interpretive trails and museum are damn interesting to study. AND the falls themselves are darn pretty!

    [What? Pretty Waterfalls in Paterson, NJ? WTF are YOU smoking?]

    Here's something to ponder...


    Paterson, the third-largest city in New Jersey, was once a booming beacon of industry and later fell on hard times. The waterfall, framed Monday by a ring of blazing foliage, is second only to Niagara Falls in water volume east of the Mississippi River. More than 2 billion gallons of water a day pass over its summit to the swirling Passaic River below.
    Welcome to the Garden State!

    There's a little tip-of-the-cap to those falls in the movie Lean On Me.

    I wonder how many jobs that created. Probably 3 or 4 for park rangers, and a few temps for building necessary facilities. Hey, it's a start.

    i see nothing funny about it. You can find beauty in almost any place. i find things of beauty in the most worn out beaten down slums. We are conditioned to think that beautiful things only occur in untouched, unspoiled, wilderness. But the urban centre also waltzes in glorious beauty.

    It's official name is "The Fuckin' National Park."
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
