It’s a very nice park, I was brought up near its Montclair border in the 50s.

Btw, (Canadian) David Bloss Mills made a huge fortune buying the patent rights on an improved spark plug (c. 1909), then sold it to GM and then spent most of his earnings buying their stock.

The Mountainside Hospital nurse’s building is named after his wife, Ella.

Fine, generous folks.

Hello,

I have been reading your blog posts for a good amount of time now. I must say that they are just great. Great writing.. great photos.. great ways to promote parks in NJ.

I just wanted to let you know that we will be promoting your group on http://www.getoutsidenj.com, starting tonight as we have added your as a reference group..

http://www.getoutsidenj.com/groups-organizations/site-NJUrbanForest.html

We will also be Featuring you on the frontpage of GetOut next month, and will be giving you credit for any locations that we add because of your posts. This will start with the Essex County Mills Reservation mentioned in your latest post.

Do you have an actual logo? I grabbed your header text.. but a real logo would be nicer. Do you have a facebook page? I would like to add that to your contact info as well.

Keep up the great work!

-Jeff

around this point 10/10/2010, perhaps they removed the decaying cars.
still this is a nice trail in a congested suburban area.

I visited this afternoon. Didn’t see any decaying cars or the red headed woodpecker though I would have loved too. It is mid-february so none of that beautiful greenery either, but I am a writer and went for reflection. Read about it in my next column in Community Life newspaper, Top Blonde…on the run!

One of my favorite nature trails to walk on. A word to the wise, if you go after it rains wear boots! Oh and beware of the abundant prickly multi-flora rose. (my finger still has a thorn in it)
