Another lunch at the top of the Tourne. My friend and I wanted to get caught up after having been away from eachother for a while so we took the quick hike to the top! It was a pretty uneventful hike, but we did see a couple of toads that both took me by surprise (oh the wonders of camouflage). Views were limited due to the season and overcast, but NYC was still slightly visible in the distance.
I named him Buddy Number 1.
Cloudy day, with enough squinting we could make out the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center... and that strange slim-jim shaped building uptown.
And Buddy Number 2!
