Unfortunately, it was a rainy, dreary day, but it was nice to get out for a while. Frank knew I was SICK of watching them watch football. (Frankie is off skiing in Vermont with his friends...)
Nick brought his PSP, of course, and Frank had to focus on the traffic, so I probably was the only one who really enjoyed the drive. I didn't take a lot of photos because of course my battery died the minute we left town. So I'm posting this one rather sad photo. It may be the only picture taken of the cell tower that is disguised to look like a pine tree. Can you tell?
We made it as far as Lake Hopatcong, but there was so much development around the lake that we couldn't find access, and it was raining anyway. So we had a nice lunch in some restaurant that claims to be haunted, and then we drove home.

I absolutely love taking pictures from the car. It makes Scotty happy because I'm doing something besides helping him drive.
Why is the call tower disguised as a tree?
That cell tower really blends in well! We have a tree like that here in the "country"... but it really is a tree! lol...but occasionally they do throw in one of those cell towers just to try and throw ya off!

At least you went somewhere!It does look like a tree to me.Is it really a cell tower.(A cell tower--as in the ones they use for cell phones, for transmitting signals)?
It looks more like a tree in this picture than it usually does in real life, because it is way taller than anything around it, and a rather fake green color.
I think they disguised it to look like a tree because it's on the parkway, which in Jersey is supposed to look something like a park -- no billboards, no signs, just a greenbelt. Further north, though, the parkway becomes more urban and less park like.
They may have also worried about people living in the neighborhood just behind the parkway disliking the way it looks. It was one of the first cell towers built around here. It was built before cell phones were even popular.
Oh how many trips I have taken in circumstances like yours!!!!It realy makes you appreciate home doesn't it?
