Tuesday Photo Challenge – Rock by Frank JansenFrank Jansen (Dutch Goes the Photo)

Rock it!

My first thought when I saw the challenge was, "I'll hike the Sourland Mountain Preserve to Devil's Half Acre". Bhavna offered to come with me. The parking in the area near the trailhead on Mountain View Road was filled with cars.

Devil's Half Acre is a large boulder field with talus caves which can be approached through the Sourland Mountain Preserve by taking the northernmost trail 3⁄4 of the way up and then heading about 1⁄2 mile to the north/northwest.

The warmer weather seduced local area residents and their dogs to enjoy the outdoors. We started up over the rocky terrain. I scrambled, took this shot and noticed that Bhavna was way behind me.

While on Hike and Hops at St. Michaels Farm Preserve a few weeks ago, we both injured our feet. It seems Bhavna didn't recover as quickly as I did. Her mind was willing, but her body was not able. We walked the shortest part of the trail returning to the car, just thirty minutes after starting. I got this shot and a few others.

I am in drinking Flounder Best Bitter by Flounder Brewing Co, a Nano Brewery in Hillsborough. Flounder Best Bitter is an English Bitter, with an ABV of 4.7 and IBU of 0. I gave this beer a 3.75 on Untappd’s 5 point rating system.

BREWER’S NOTES

Featuring moderate hop bitterness, this traditional English Bitter is malt forward, dark copper in color with a beige creamy head and slight fruitiness in both aroma and flavor.
