Anyone Want to Hang Out This Weekend (19-21 August) - NJ/NYC/Philly Area?

Both wife and work gave me a free pass from noon Friday the 19th through Sunday evening on the 21st, so I plan to get out into the piney woods. Overnight lows in the 60s and a small chance of rain for Friday night, I'll take it! :D

Anyone interested in joining me? Friday night? Saturday? Both?

I'm not yet sure where I want to go, but I have some ideas.

• Sawmill Lake in High Point State Park
• AT in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
• Round Valley
• Lebanon, err, I mean Brendan T. Byrne State Forrest
• Batona Trail in the Pine Barrens
• Catskills
• Poconos
• Other

I'd like to do some hiking and/or fishing, but I'm also happy to lounge around camp and play with sticks, stoves, cord, knives, etc. I'm happy to paddle too; I just don't have a boat. :(

I'm open to other suggestions in the greater NYC or Philadelphia areas. I'm in Central Jersey so something within a reasonable drive. Please post to this thread if interested or have any location ideas. I know it's short notice, but I figured I'd see who's game.

Would love to go but... I have plans Saturday. Drat! Have a good time and post a trip report.

maple, kaia and i are up for sat nite, but only for the pines nj. have a great time no matter where you go.:D

Gotta check with the boss :). I'll let you know as soon as possible. Don't own a boat, but up for a hike.

i got 5 boats (loaned a few out :)) can get 4 there on my own. Dylan even if i don't go your more then welcome to borrow one.

So far we're tipping toward South Jersey/Pinelands. Pine barrens float trip, maybe? I don't really know any of the waters down there.

AAHH man, Dylan you are going to get me into big trouble if I ask the wife about this one. Let me check with her and possibly well or I will come Saturday night through Sunday.

Double drat. Would love to hang with you Dylan but have to take my daughter back to college this weekend. Hope you have fun.

Cool link. I think that if I don't paddle this trip, I'll be planning a river trip in the pines soon! :D
