New - NJ - Millburn (Essex Cty)

THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN RESERVATION LETTERBOX
Essex County NJ, starting from Millburn
15 minutes on rocky incline and 20 minutes on paved path
(see middle of clue for lazy driving hint)

On Glen Avenue in Millburn
across from near where the bibliophiles gather
there is an opening in the woods
marked by a sign that says "Locust Grove".
Drive in here and park.

Bear right, on foot now, onto the Lenape Trail,
through the picnic area, past the roof on legs,
and up the hill. Just follow,
the trail's trees are marked in yellow.

When you get to a metal fence, bear right
(you're still on the yellow trail)
until you come to a paved road.
Take a right here and as you walk, enjoy the fresh air.

You will be walking for about twenty minutes,
through the white gates past which cars are allowed,
also past a semi-grassy parking area.

You will know you're close when the road widens,
and you see an amazing overlook on the right.
(The physically unfit, if good map-readers,
can park here and avoid the hill).

Look at Manhattan, then stand reading the
memorial rock bearing George Bramhall's name.
