Yeah, the Nature Conservancy is a really great org. Sometimes I wished they would open up there controlled environments to a little more foot traffic, but that means more supervision, trail upkeep, and ultimately more money. When you weigh that against all the danger Jersey has seen in sprawl...

Thanks for all the commentary everybody its appreciated. I found that the Nature Conservancy administrates most holdings in the Maurice River area, if anybody is interested in knocking around there the contact number is 856 881 0600. They can give you the run down. J~

Anybody familiar with the terrain, specifically hiking, on the Manumuskin River? This actually goes for the whole Maurice River to the Del. Bay area (Peaslee Wildlife Area, Monnantico Wildlife area, Heislerville, etc.). Have checked it on the net and the great pics and overviews have pricked my...

Thats a fun one. I did it in the beginning of November. I used the directions and map from 50 Hikes in NJ. Be on the lookout for an eagle on the back resevoir, if you have the time to check it out. Post a trip report when you return.

Ohhh, Methinks I smell a gear junkie, maybe we should start an awareness group:rolleyes: O.K., here's my top five list: GoLite Rain Poncho-Awesome light weight and keeps you free to move as well as dry. HiTec Apex boots-These are great for a variety of terrain and seasons. Cost me a buck...

Sorry I cant give coordinates, no GPS. I can tell you I followed a fireline between six or seven miles north east of Batsto, so I was pretty close to Jenkins Neck. I had stopped for lunch and the bear came out of some undergrowth about 30 ft. in front of me. I stood up and watched him watch...

You got it Steve, no tilde on this computer, but that is what I meant. Joe

Ohhh, I see. Yeah, you got it right. There under the member name Piney Boy.

just an attempt at humor, I guess unsuccesfully. A sub-adult black bear I saw in the Pines on a fireline aprox 6-7 north east of Batsto. Saw him last spring while I had stopped for lunch. Posted the pic with a bunch of others.

Well I was just sitting here on my lunch break and after leafing through my photos on this computer I thought I would upload some. Theres a mad mix from Zion Natl. Park, Pinnacle in the Lehigh Valley, The Great Swamp in the Pines, Senor Bear in the Pines, The PA Grand Canyon, etc. More will...

I'm trying to find an area I haven't really done before. Wharton and Lebanon I am real familiar with, Bass River I could maybe find something new. So I'm just hunting around for some new ideas

Thanks for the advice. What I'm trying to do is fined like a two day hike in South Jersey that I haven't done. Or, have a little basecamp and hike out for two day hikes from there. Not looking for anything in Wharton, Lebanon (Brenden..), or Bass river. Anything you wanna shout out would...

Those are great pics. Thanks

The week after Christmas I'm gonna do a little hiking, I was interested in Belleplain St. Forest and Corsons Inlet. I know theres an 7+ mile trail in Belleplain, but I'm not sure if theres a trail connecting to the Inlet. I'm also interested to find out the walking in Corsons Inlet. Are there...

For the most part my feet are like iron from all the trail miles I log, but just recently have been less active and my feet reverted to their old soft selves. Could've been worse, could've been better too. Fun trip overall though. I'm doing the West Rim Trail (PA Grand Canyon) the long...

This was a loooong full two day excursion (Nov. 4-5) covering about thirty five miles south bound from Penn State Forest to the Batona then on to Lower Forge wilderness campsite. The weather was just beautuful with temps in the 60's in the day and high 40's at night. Forgive my boys there...

Stopped by after a day out and about near Lake Oswego. Gotta say I was pretty dissappointed by the whole presentation, or lack thereof. Lots o' junk without any real focus on "country living." Not to say there weren't any neat things to appreciate, some really nice pieces of sewing were...

I'll believe it when I actually see it in action. I live in Township and have watched for the last five years as the whole area has been converted into a strip mall. They want to do something, they should actively lobby to save and protect areas, not just try to levee fines after an irreprable...

You have proved yourself to be a scholar and a gentlewoman. Thanks for this really interesting tidbit of info on one of my favorite places.

Sounds good Tom. Its still a little ways ahead so just let me know what stretch your interested in doing and we'll meet at a specified trailhead. Joe
