Partial hike in Hartshorne. I was behind schedule.
Some photos of the trail in the new Sandy Hook thread.

Lighthouse and other attractions another day.
This was a scout mission.

According to this article, it's because the number of immigrants from other countries is much lower this year, births are also down and more people are dying as the population gets older. Whatever... we have too many people in NJ already. I've lived in Missouri, Virginia, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Maine, California and spent time in several other states. Quite happy right here, I'm not going anywhere. :)

"Net domestic out-migration, while an ongoing concern, has not gotten any worse in the last year, so we must look to the other components of population change to explain the overall loss."

"The big story from this year’s state population estimates is the dramatic decline in net international migration nationwide."

New Jersey Losing Population for the First Time in Four Decades | New Jersey Future

A long-term decline in the national birth rate and a recent drop-off in immigration have joined forces with ongoing out-migration to other states to produce New Jersey’s first population loss since the late 1970s.

What part don't you understand? IIRC, there was some kind of change in her employer's operations and she needed to relocate in order to keep her job.
