What a great exhibit. Its innovative, imaginitive, and just a real tribute to the art of the human body. I know the concept is to raise questions of mortality, but honestly I couldn't get past viewing it as a work of art. The guy who created it IS indeed a mad scientist (lol), albeit a pretty...

Some thoughts; were will this site be? Distance? who do we want to contact to aid in this endeavor?

Well fella's if your game lets all right up what we think than go over it as a group. I'm sure support can be not only gained from here, but also the Batona Hiking club, my band of M.A.Y.P hikers, and a load of other orgs as well. This will take a degree of commitment from us, but I'm willing...

Amen to a wilderness campsite. I do a lot of day hiking in the Pines, but our lack of backpacking overnight sites is astounding. Their is no reason it should have to be this way. Part of the problem with trash and fire trouble comes from car access to sites. These folks drive in and bring...

Dunnfield Creek is just one of the great spots in the area! Rolling to rocky terrain with High Point and its views. I definitely be down to go, only I'd most likely turn it into an overnight and stay at an A.T. shelter or campsite. Gotta watch those North Jersey bears to, they have a...

Sorry about the divorce, but nice story of the Salty Dog and all. The Octopus had to be very cool. I saw a Brown bear eating a salmon on the banks of the Chilcat, was a little scared but he showed no interest in me, so it was mighty cool. Enjoy that huge timber outside of Seattle, it is well...

I like the idea of the North Jersey stuff too. I had been trying to dig up a trip report of my sectional hike of the NJ A.T. If it pops back up I'll post it.:)

45 lbs, I feel your pain... My favorite part of the day is when the pack comes off, I'm always ready to fly away. Dry socks, sleeping bag, light source, long johns and shirt (if its cold), minimum food, cooking source, h2o, hat, and tent. Thats what I broght on my last 3 trips. Last week I...

I rafted the Chilcat River in Haines, its the largest Bald Eagle Reserve in the world, what an experience! Also hiked Tongass and up to Rainbow Falls another crazy beautiful sight. Its definitely unique like the Pines, thats not the first time I've heard that comparison eitheir. Don't know...

Slept great, exept that I forgot a jacket or sweatshirt and my sleeping bag is a summer bag. I was a bit chilly. It was a bout 40 degrees by morning. I dreaded getting up out of the bag. Sounds like you had a nice time. Y'know, I can be kind of funny sometimes. I'll pump out twenty miles...

:confused: :bang: Yes, like the underpants..

For years now I've toyed with an idea for a Jersey Magazine celebrating our wonderful culture and heritage, not just the odd and abandoned. Maybe its time to bust that mutha out, cause I'm getting a little annoyed at the negative attention and downright goofy topics that come up because of WNJ.

Excellent little piece of history Jerseyman.

20 miles is my limit, beyond that I'm not much good for anything for the next few days. I figure to start early on day one, slow pace it, and see how far we go. If your interested in doing a lighter stretch your welcome to come on out. I figure on having a group of folks and not everyone will...

Next to the Juvenile facility and 4H Grounds right next to Deptford, but don't think its considered Deptford. It was an old large ornate building that was part of the institution. The place was torn down 3 odd years ago. I stopped and asked on one of the demolition days and they told me it...

Thanks all for the kind words.:) Don't have a date set yet, but I'm going to do the entire Batona sometime next month over three days---Probably 2 20's and a 10. All are welcome:jd:

All good points. If a previous burn in the area raised the alarm bell well its o.k. with me, but with a highly visited campsite like the Forge I just think they should have reduced the area fuel and kept the site intact, especially since we have so few wilderness sites in the Pines. Thats...

My last three overnighters have been in the rain. I was at the Kirkridge shelter on the A.T. in PA last month in a driving sleet storm.:jeffd: Your correct about the Batsto by the way, thats what I meant but did not say.
