Ben, Have you thought about a day trip to Allaire? I, like you also enjoy going there. Don't forget about the area's away from the main part of the park on the other side of I-195.

I was thinking about it. I have never been to the other side of I-195. What's there?

I always wanted to explore the Manasquan Floodplain area behind the furnace. I believe that there's stuff to be found back there.

Allaire has been one of my primary sources for adventuring for years (but again, my adventuring is solely based on wildlife). I'm pretty familiar with it and would definatly be down for a trip out there. Here's a parkmap:

which side of 195? The side to the right has Allaire villiage and the hospital road desert and all that . . . the side to the left has the fossil cliffs along the banks of the manasquan and the railroad tracks.

Want to make this one sooner rather than later? How is this Sunday?


I'm down. Although--the usual time constraints hold me to going early or not at all. I dunno if that's a problem.

I have only gone Mountain Biking so I really wasn't looking around per say on the other side of Allaire, but I would be surprised if we didn't find something over there. Fossil hunting sounds good to me, I'm game.

Well when--i guess would be as early as humanly possible. I have work at 3, so I can't leave any later than 1:30. I'm only about ten minutes away so you guys can figure that out. I don't know the rules with Allaire villiage--whether you have to pay or not on the weekends, but if the main entrance is what everybody knows then i say we meet there--to make things a bit more simple.

What about friday or saturday morning? It'll be a bit chilly both days, but the sun will at least be out . . .
