What a great find. I am always on the lookout for Rev. War era tombstones, and while I am familiar with the Adonijah Peacock story, I was unaware of his burial as well as this location. Thanks!

Thought some of you folks might enjoy an out of town trip report, so here goes: I work for the National Park Service and was lucky enough to go to a week long training program in Harpers Ferry WV. After the class I took and extra three days to hike the A.T. out of W.V. into MD (up through...

The Dacks are just great for hiking and fishing. Nothing like a winter hike up Algonquin peaks. Nice pics.

I know exactly were you mean! That was quite awhile ago for me being out there. Guess somebody figured that was as good a place as any to get rid of their unwanted stuff.

Yeah, that Pine nursery really is nice.

I know its a little past this topics time, but I love talking gear. In the Pines I wouldn't worry so much about nice boots. The flat terrain and lack of any real trail impediments makes for easy hikes. I would just as soon wear light cheap hikers with gaiters then put out a mint buying and...

Not familiar with it. How long is it?

Last Spring I was wandering an old fireline about 6 miles northwest of Batsto and ran into a subadult bruin. I was sitting with my back to a tree eating some lunch when the youngster popped out of the woods about thirty yards in front of me. We checked each other out, I wished him well, and...

Hola everybody! From what I have seen so far I think its safe to say I am going to enjoy this site.:mrgreen: Working on a Saturday today (shudder), so I gotta give much love and props to all of you who do it on a regular basis. Usually I'm on some trail by now, instead here I am at the...

We don't call it illegal, we call it "stealth camping". Being serious though, it is a problem I think can be remedied with help from a group like The Batona Hiking Club or even the ATC. It really shouldn't be as hard as it is to find nice legal campsites in a wilderness the size of the Pines...

Look forward to it.

Ranger is such a funny job title, I have the pleasure to have that title, but I am not a Law Enforcement officer. The distinction comes from differences in state and government titles. Working for the National Park Service many of us carry that title without actually carrying sidearms or...

The Devil; seen or unseen Gotta go with the non-believers on this topic. The legends and lore are fantastic, but they are just that; legends and lore. While the Pines are a one million acre tract of land, thats just not that isolated in todays world, especially when you consider a good deal...

top to bottom on the Batona I wouldn't quite call doing the Batona "through hiking" being its only 50 miles long, but it is a nice hike from top to bottom. I guess I have done it about five or six times over the years, mostly in the cooler months. It's about two and half days at a quick step...

Just wanted to introduce myself before I started posting away. I am a lifelong South Jersey resident, except for my college years, and wouldn't have it any other way. I work as a park ranger in Philly and have a passion for all kinds of hiking. I've done 2/3 of the A.T. throughout NJ...
