Thought Deadphans was meeting you up there?

I'll be out Fri/Sat, want to be in the woods for the "storm", which is what the weather folks call anything more than a dusting.

I would join you but can't remember anything I like about Allaire State Park - I like to hike and the trails there don't look particular enticing. If I do head out to the Pine Barrens this weekend (probably Saturday), you're welcome to join. I'm probably going to hike Batsto to Lower Forge (7.5 miles). No need for a reservation (only two sites reserved, seven available); I'll just walk up and get a permit at Batsto - that way I don't have to pay the ReserveAmerica fee.

Rain gear advisable for hiking Saturday.

===> I will be testing out closing the 'doors' on both ends of my Superfly, and using a can of Sterno on the ground inside the rig to raise the temps. Will also be testing out my new Warbonnet Hammock Sock. Fun, ain't it???

Isn't that carbon monoxide poisoning waiting to happen?

That is just what I had planned for this weekend at Allaire State Park. Just finished my DIY UQ/TQ want to test it out with my Cuben tarp.

treywilly, what is your TQ/UQ made out of, and what do you think it's rated for?

I'm right next door to you in Monmouth Beach, by the way. There's a little forest called Jackson Woods, by Ursula Plaza - the trees are crappy but I occasionally set up there for kicks and giggles. I never had the nerve to do an overnighter there 'cause of there's urban wildlife who also inhabit them woods at night! And I'm talking the two-legged variety.
