We have 1148 occurrences of `nn' dependencies, which should correspond to noun-noun compounds. Some of these are really multiword expressions, crystallized by use, like \textit{paddling pool, swimming suit, soccer ball, tennis player, pork chop, camera man}.
Others are constructed for the specific sentence like \textit{forest path, fur scarf, motorcycle racer}. Other are mistakes in the analysis like \textit{hiker dancing} in ``There is no hiker dancing on top of the mountain".
Freeling has a module for multiword compounds that might be useful. The issue here is to see if it's possible to use this module, after the parsing, as a post-processing.
