View From The Throne Of Funny Faces

The Throne of Funny Faces
July 19, 2009

The Throne of Funny Faces is located on top of Schooley's Mountain.
The view from the top of Schooley's Mountain looks like this:


 
Schooley's Mountain is the highest populated mountain in
New Jersey.

Schooley's Mountain is at the northern tip of the Piedmont Plateau.



The Piedmont province is a physiographic province
 of the larger Appalachian division.
It extends all the way down to Alabama.

The Territory of Funny Faces is not that big,
but it is damn good to be King of this Mountain.

The B. Bruce Anderson Memorial Flag in Palmer Park is at the bottom of the north side of the Mountain.

"Little fellow, this has nothing to do with the fox?"

"Why?"

"Because we're going to die of thirst."

The little prince didn't follow my reasoning, and answered me, "It's good to have had a friend, even if you're going to die. Myself, I'm very glad to have had a fox for a friend."

He doesn't realize the danger, I said to myself. He's never hungry or thirsty. A little sunlight is enough for him... But the little prince looked at me and answered my thought. "I'm thirsty, too...Let's find a well..."

I made an exasperated gesture. It is absurd looking for a well, at random, in the vastness of the desert. But even so, we started walking.
