Great photos and info. 140 feet is pretty big. Someday one of those will be on my private property :)

when I figure out how, I'll move this post to its own topic, which it certainly deserves.

Made a visit today to Parsons Falls and got a couple shots...
Its a pretty short hike (.25 miles) in from Long Hill road.
