But you do have me looking at fat tire bikes... dang things are expensive

What a great exploration and finds!

I would call or email Second Time Books in Mount Laurel and ask them to watch for it. They carry Jerseyana but I didn’t see this in their online shop. But they may have it in stock. secondtimebooksales@gmail.com.r

No guilt here, and I did stop at Tacos al Carbon :) I hike, lift, or hit the heavy bag 6 days a week. I have thought about a bike, but between a mountain bike and a bike rack it's probably a thousand bucks. But that is an idea.

It seems the case. My GPSMap64 was discounted at Costco and the first map update out of the box required purchase of more storage. I called to complain but they didn't care. But thank you Boyd, I loaded the Wharton map. It only seems to allow me to load one map from Basecamp at a time, but I...

As for dumping T-Mobile, it’s tough to give up unlimited data/texts/calls for $32/mo. And I’ve got Verizon on the work iPhone. Which had one lousy bar…

I’ve got a Garmin GPSMap64 and I actually had it with me. I need a better set of maps for it than the default. It didn’t have labels for the roads I was looking at, which is why I went back on Mount Rd (which is better for dirt bikes. I need to compound all the scratches out of the car from the...

Thanks. The handheld is a good idea. I didn’t think I’d need one, but they can’t be beat

Thanks all. I think the problem was using offline Google maps on a device without GPS, that is, a wifi iPad. I've also downloaded the entire area to my phone but I think I need to use airplane mode even though it had no signal, because it kept trying to update.

I was annoyed that the TomTom built into the car had no detail or road names. I didn't even want their Navigation, but I use it because it's there and doesn't rely on cellular. (TIme to break out the Garmin Nuvi...) I had no bars T-Mobile and one Verizon, and the "offline maps" on the iPad --...

Thanks all. I need to get a set of paper maps so I’m not stuck when my signal is bad. Which would you recommend? Not expecting the detail of Boyds on paper but I’d feel better having it. If I’d taken Washington-Quaker instead of Mount Road I probably would’ve gotten there.

I was trying to follow the Tuckerton stage road using Barbara Solem’s guide, and got a few miles past Penn Swamp on Quaker Bridge Road before a deep rutted mud hole lined with logs and torn up fabric (possibly used for traction by someone else) made me turn back. I made it to Washington Turnpike...

Thanks, 1JD. I didn‘t get to Apple Pie Hill today but I did climb the Batsto one and got a nice view.

Thank you for sharing this rather amazing tool you’ve made. My iPad doesn’t have cellular. I’m going to try going through a hotspot. The precise GPS location likely won’t work, but my iPhone 8 screen is too tiny for these old eyes. I’ll let you know how well it works. It is great on Android, but...

Of course I went yesterday on a sunny day and Apple Pie wasn’t manned. I’ll have to check in on sunny days when I’m up that way. It’s a fun drive up the trail, at least. I also drove as far as I could toward Calico from Martha and then hoofed it. I read all the threads here about the bad road...

I was there a few weeks ago. Bridge is okay to walk. I wouldn’t want to drive “7 Tons” over it, even if the sign says so…

It was rainy but I drove up to Apple Pie Hill just to do it. It was manned. I didn’t bother the person manning the tower because I wouldn’t see much, and I’m going back this week when it’s sunny, and I’ll ask then, if I’m lucky and it’s still manned. I’m betting with the recent fire, that...

Senseless and ugly.

Thanks to both of you. I guess it’s a matter of driving up to the tower during fire season whenever I’m in the area and crossing my fingers. The gun club is one of those things that looks “easy” on the map, so I am very glad I asked. Nash cabin is enough for one day!

Hi all. I’ve been reading the forums for a while. I began visiting the better known places like Friendship, Eagle, and Harrisville. I’ve been using Barbara Solem’s Ghost Towns book as a guide to bring along. It’s been helpful. I recently went to Martha and hiked a bit down the Batona trail...
