Ok, thanks you guys! Due to the cold rainy weather, and time to catch up here, I've decided to go down to the pine barrens and hike the batona, my idea is to park at batso, is this a safe place for a car overnight? Then hike to lower forge, then back via Mullica river trail, or would a better option be to hump it all the way to batona camp and back? I could do two nights, but I won't have options for a shuttle, just an out and back...and I'm thinking July mid-week, I know the ticks will be bad, my gear is permethrin treated, and living on LI I've gotten pretty good at avoiding ticks and chiggers (which are actually lone star tick nymphs), so any advice is appreciated!! Thanks to kayak karl, silver surfer, silent bob, and all the other locals for inspiration!
