Picatinny Army Base, NYC and Summit, NJ

The community of Clinton, NJ was very picturesque. The small downtown area had many shops, cafes and was just beautifully decorated for the fall.
This river with a water fall was right downtown. Note the red building that houses the water powered wheel. On the opposite side of the river, there is an artist painting this beautiful scenery.
In passing through the small towns, we passed this beautiful, huge maple tree that is right by a small church and cemetary. It is said that this tree is at least 200 years old.
We stopped to visit a shrine on the way also. It is called The Shrine of St. Joseph. They had many sculptures along the grounds. Very beautiful.
Many candles are lite in this room.
We ate at Cara Mia Italian Restaurant after we left the Broadway Play. The food was very good and so was the company, Joe & Sylvia. This is their favorite place to eat when in NYC.
Times Square. So many lights and signs.....just awesome sight.
This was taken at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre where we attended the Broadway Play "Grease". They had excellent actors, singers and the music was beautiful. We really enjoyed this play.
This is Vinny Fontane.
Rydell High. I took a couple of pictures before the actual play started. No photo taking was allowed but I snuck a few.....stopped before I was escorted out!
As we left the Play, Sylvia took a picture of us. It was a great day in NYC.
This was taken from atop the Marriott New York Marque Hotel. Manuel and Joe went up there to have a drink while Sylvia and I shopped at the Garment District.
More of Times Square...
Really enjoyed our time with Joe and Sylvia.
We are on the NJ Transit System Train into NYC. We had breakfast at Joe and Sylvia's then headed out to NYC.
I took a picture of the conductor as he picked up our tickets and he commented to me that I had not taken his good side, so I took an other picture. People have been nice to us while in NYC.
Waiting for the Train in Summit, NY.
Joe and Sylvia waiting, too.
Manuel and Joe buying the tickets.
This is our site at the park that Picatinny Arsenal Army Base recommended for military/personnel. Mahlon Dickerson Reservation is up on a mountain and it is a beautiful drive here from the base which is about 3 miles away. I took several pictures as I followed Manuel here from the base.
The entrance to Mahlon Dickerson Reservation which is contracted for RVers by Picatinny Arsenal Army Base. Very nice park.
Took plenty of pictures of the Motorhome on the move.....
Many hills and curves.
We stopped to take a few photos on the way. The autumn folliage is just beautiful.
Today, Thursday, we visited with Richard and Patsy who shared more maps and info with us. We moved to Mahlon Dickerson Reservation Park which is contracted by Picatinny Arsenal Army Base. This is a beautiful park. These pictures are on the way to the park. I followed Manuel there since we unhooked at the Base. Isn't this just so colorful and beautiful?!!
