A Spring Hike Near Hopatcong NJ With RIT Alumni Friends
Another great stop on the rambling vacation. This installment of ‘the Rochester wedding photographer’s vacation’ comes to you from sunny New Jersey.
One of my oldest and dearest friends, Marc, lives in northern NJ near a lake. It was a pleasure to be able to drink with him, hike with him and beat him at Wii bowling.
That was about all there was time for, but it was sunny and warm, so an excellent time.
Marc is co-owner of many companies, most notably a lighting company. He is one of the few people I know that actually has been working for the same company (his) since getting an undergraduate degree from RIT.
He also has been self-employed longer than anyone I know, so it was great chatting about the economy, creativity, marketing, overhead, etc.
Marc and I took a really nice long hike and got lost in the woods.
We found many weird things, remnants of the past, but mostly it was a cool and sunny spring day.
Afterward, he took me to the famous Jefferson Diner, of Food Network fame, and I had a super yummy florentine benedict. YUM.
I only eat benedicts when I’m at diners and they are a recent addition to my food choices. This one was worth whatever the calorie count happens to be.
Thanks for the visit, Marc! It was great to see you and I hope we can plan another visit sooner rather than later. I hope you enjoy the pic for your online dating profile!

Hi again! I can’t believe you had breakfast at the Diner in town…considering I live in Jefferson Township and only met you at Photo North East, it seems our paths are destined to cross again. Looks like you enjoyed a very nice time with your friend Marc. Next time you’re heading this way, send me a note, and I’ll take you on a hike that my girlfriend and I maintain at the Delaware Water Gap on the Appalachian Trail. The spring fed waters of Sunfish Pond will have you returning many times again. Thanks for sharing your beautiful images!
It was great hanging with you!!!!
