NJ>Pine Barrens>2nd Annual NJ Turkey Trek>11/29-30
SilentOrpheus was gonna organize this trip but I talked to him tonight and he's drugged out for back spasms - no telling when he'll return to reality.
Time for the second annual Thanksgiving hang at Lower Forge! This is a hike-in site, though it is possible to drive back roads and end up about 1/3 mile from the campsite, for you car campers.
It's about 7 miles of flat hiking from Batsto, a little shorter if you hike south from Batona Camp.
Here's a map:

Yeah! I was wondering if you'd be back in town. Like SS said, it'll be good to see you again. And I'll bring an extra UQ and tarp in my car, just in case :)

I may go...i'm a bit on the fence for this one just cause of something else that may be happening around the same time. Ill be keeping an eye out.

I saw this pic and it reminded me why I love the Pine Barrens:

On the website image, you can click on NJ and zoom in. There's this giant hole with no lights in Southern NJ. That's the Pine Barrens. Nice to know there is a place so close to my house with so little light pollution, and, well, people.
And you people wonder how I can get lost so often while night hiking in the Pine Barrens. Sheesh.
