Other Side Of Gauntlet

On a warm winter day, I took a walk on the levee system. Visited the other side of the Gauntlet. In the summer this area is overgrown with stinging nettles, Japanese Knotweed, and other thick plants.

Strange that one pier is stone when all others are concrete.

On the other side of the river is the old Laurel Line bridge.

to Hoboken in many,
 many years ???)
